Sun Chen

Sun Chen (, born 21 September 1999) is a Taiwanese breakdancer. Nicknamed "Quake", he competed for Chinese Taipei at the 2022 Asian Games and later qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics, where he served as the Taiwanese co-flag bearer.

Biography Sun was born on 21 September 1999, in Hsinchu, Taiwan, on the day of the deadly Jiji earthquake; as such, his breakdancing nickname is "Quake". He is the youngest of three children and was homeschooled until college. In 2010, the film Step Up became popular in Taiwan; according to the Central News Agency, it "triggered a fad that had the older guys in the neighborhood practicing moves on paperboards, and Sun felt he had to get involved." He said that "I wasn't making any friends if I didn't join them," and so he enrolled in a breakdancing class that year. He competed at the Asian Games in 2023. He was selected as the Taiwan co-flagbearer at the Olympic opening ceremony, along with Tai Tzu-ying. At the Olympics, he was eliminated in the preliminary round of 16 after placing third in his group. After appearing in the 2024 Olympics, Sun became the first Taiwanese breakdancer to reach the final of The Notorious IBE, and won the 1 vs 1 competition in the 2024 edition of Outbreak Europe.
