Kim Clavel: Knockout Knowledge from a World Boxing Champion

Kim Clavel may be small, but she is mighty. Kim has fought many battles, both in and out of the boxing ring, and has worked tirelessly to make her dreams a reality. After an impressive amateur career, Kim took the leap and gave up her career as a nurse to become a professional boxer. It was risky, but it was worth it, because of all of the lessons that Kim learned on this adventure. She also became world champion along the way! Kim won the Pat Tillman ESPY Award for her courageous work on the medical frontlines during the pandemic, and was also named a Time Magazine New Generation Leader in 2021.  Kim has done so much in her sport, but she knows that she is more than a boxer, and she really values her life as a whole. Kim is a sister, a daughter, a girlfriend, a friend, and has so many passions and joys in life, from riding horses with her sister, to her weekly breakfast dates with her grandmother.

Philip Kim: Breakdancing Wizard Prepares for Paris 2024

Philip Kim, also known as Phil Wizard, is a breakdancing extraordinaire. From an awkward start at school dances, to discovering breakdancing on the streets of Vancouver, Phil has gone all in on his craft and has become the top-ranked breaker in the world. Phil made history as the first ever breaker to win the Pan American Games in 2023 following multiple World Championship titles. He also happens to be  the sole Canadian Bboy on the infamous Red Bull BC One All Star team. More than the titles and the accolades, Phil purely loves to dance. He is driven by curiosity and creativity, and is constantly challenging himself to level up in the game of mastery and personal growth. As he prepares to represent Team Canada at the 2024 Olympic Games, Phil is focused on pushing the boundaries of artistry and athleticism. I’m going to be cheering for Phil in Paris and I have no doubt that, after getting to know Phil in this conversation, you’ll be rooting for him too, every dance step of the way.
