An 18-year-old, competing in a historically male-dominated discipline, thousands of miles from home.
Contesting a world final, one-on-one, with thousands watching on in a packed arena and countless more watching virtually.
The outcome? A unanimous victory, of course -- meet Logan 'Logistx' Edra, the youngest ever winner of Red Bull's BC One World Final.
With BC One now into its 18th edition, it was perhaps destiny that -- given her age -- Edra would win 2021's event, hosted in the Polish portside city of Gdansk earlier this month.
Yet the Filipino-American's path to the pinnacle was anything but linear. Far from the romantic 'love at first sight' tales of many athletes, a young and shy Edra -- born and raised in California -- had no intention of even attempting breaking when her father first suggested it.
