This is unprecedented. A Chinese athlete has changed her name to a number

The 2024 Olympic Games are set to commence shortly, taking place in Paris from July 26 to August 11. This year's event will feature a new sport – breaking. One of China's representatives has already made headlines before the Olympics.

According to Bild, an athlete named 671 will participate in the Games. Yes, a number – 671. Her real name is Liu Qingyi, as listed in her passport. However, 671 is her Chinese name expressed in numerical form. Under this name, she secured second place at the 2022 World Championship in Seoul and won the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou.

She approaches the 2024 Olympic Games with determination and a single goal – to win the gold medal.

"I will do everything possible to win a medal," 671 declared.

For her, as well as all newcomers in breaking, this could be an incredible opportunity, as this trendy sport will be absent from the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

Incidentally, the Dailysports team has provided information on another Olympic discipline – tennis.
