The 27-year-old world championship silver medallist from Canada won the final of the sport's Olympic premiere on the Place de la Concorde in central Paris against Frenchman Dany Dann 3:0 with a total of 23:4 jury points.
On Saturday, Japan's Ami Yuasa won the gold medal in the women's competition. She and Kim will remain the only breakdancers to call themselves Olympic champions for at least eight years. In Los Angeles in four years' time, the dance sport that emerged from hip-hop culture will no longer be part of the Olympic program.
