The free iHeart app is where to go to listen to exclusive play-by-play action of Team USA. To celebrate, we are spotlighting some of the country's athletes that are vying for gold.

Sunny Choi, a 35-year-old breaker from the United States, is set to make her Olympic debut at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Born on November 10, 1988, in Cookeville, Tennessee, Choi now resides in Queens, New York. She is the daughter of Kyung-Ju and Jung-In Choi, who immigrated to the United States from Daegu, South Korea in the 1970s. Choi has three brothers and four nieces.

Choi's journey into breaking began during her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School of Business. After knee injuries forced her off the gymnastics team, she joined the breaking club and fell in love with the sport's physical challenges and creative individuality. She graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor of Science in marketing.

In 2012, Choi moved to Queens, New York, and began traveling and battling around the world. Known for her infectious smile and passion for self-expression through dance, Choi hopes to inspire others to feel comfortable expressing themselves through dance.

Choi has competed at the World Championships three times, with her best results being tied seventh-place finishes in 2021 and 2022. Her first title came when she won the Pan American Games women's breaking competition in November 2023. She has also won a trio of silver medals at the 2019 World Urban Games, the 2022 IWGA World Games, and the 2023 Pan American Championships.

Choi became the first U.S. woman to qualify in breaking for the 2024 Paris Olympics after winning gold at the 2023 Pan American Games.
