Who is Logan Edra? Everything about the breakdancer who will represent the USA in sport's official debut at the Paris Olympics 2024

Logan Edra is a Filipino-American breakdancer who will represent Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics in breaking, a sport that will make its official debut in the French capital. Known as B-Girl Logistx, Edra began her breaking career at the age of seven.

Taking into consideration his daughter's introverted nature, Edra's father tricked her into a dancing class. Born on May 8, 2003, and raised in Chula Vista, San Diego, California, Edra was inspired by local dancers and B-Girl Valerie “Val Pal”. Her father, Herren Edra, gave her the "Logistx."

Apart from the Olympic pursuit, Logan Edra engages herself in instructing other students at the BreakMia Studio in Miami, Florida, and is herself a trained prodigy in ballet, urban dance, funk, jazz, popping, contemporary, and gymnastics.

She is all set to compete in the women's breaking at the 2024 Paris Olympics along with fellow B-girl Sunny Choi.
