... that in order to attend breakdancing classes as a child, future Olympian Amir Zakirov had to give up eating lunch?

Source: Red Bull ("Amir's family didn’t have a lot of money, so he had to find a way to pay for the breaking class. He'd already been working from 10-years-old selling copper, so he had money from that, and then he scarified eating at school to have money for the breaking class. 'I used the money my parents gave me for lunch in school to pay for the breaking,' he says. 'Because of this I had stomach pains from not eating all day, making it really hard to concentrate in school, but I wanted to use this money for breaking.'")
