A world record in breaking was set in Kazan: 430 people simultaneously performed the "helicopter" move.

      On the night of August 19 to 20, at the Central Stadium of Kazan, 430 dancers from 127 cities in Russia, as well as from Taiwan, Japan, Germany, and Kazakhstan, aged from 8 to 50 years, simultaneously performed ten continuous elements of windmill ("gelik"). Thus, a world record was set during the XVIII International Breaking and Street Art Tournament "Combination". The unique event was dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the development of breaking in the Republic of Tatarstan. Since 2019, participants of the "Combination" tournament have been setting world breaking records. Typically, the records are timed to significant dates; for example, in 2020, at the AK Bars Palace of Martial Arts, 100 people simultaneously spun on their heads in honor of the 100th anniversary of the formation of the TASSR. In 2025, at the Uram Youth Extreme Park, 80 people simultaneously jumped 10 "twists" in honor of the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory.

      Let us remind you that from August 19 to 23, Kazan is hosting a series of major tournaments, including the XVIII International Festival of Breaking and Street Art "COMBOneishn", the All-Russian Breaking Competition "Break Rumble", and the Final Competitions of the Spartakiad of Students of Russia. Over five days, more than a thousand participants will determine the strongest in sports disciplines, as well as in mass nominations, participate in master classes, open training sessions, graffiti jams, DJ battles, and special profile events, and discuss the development of breaking in a panel discussion.
