CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- “Do you need to teach me rope skipping? I know it since I was a child!” When Chongqing Evening News reporter interviewed Chongqing Rope Skipping Association President Ren Wendong, he confessed that from October this year after the establishment of the association to promote rope skipping, he often encountered this kind of question. Ren Wendong said that ordinary people have a relatively limited understanding of the sport of rope skilling, so it is still necessary to learn about it.

In fact, the rope skipping we usually practice in school only belongs to the category of speed rope skipping. Besides, there are three other categories of rope skipping: fancy rope skipping, musical rope skipping and recreational rope skipping.

In order to have a more comprehensive understanding of the sport of rope skipping, the reporter then interviewed a number of professional rope skipping coach, they brought a refreshing world of rope skipping for us.

Rope skipping has more than 2000 years of history

When it comes to the sport of rope skipping, most Chongqing people will probably think that it is an ancient sport that does not need much elaboration. Because from the elementary school level, almost everyone will learn rope skipping, and related rope skipping test and competition.

In fact, rope skipping does have a long history. Ren Wendong showed to the reporter a book entitled “Grade Standards and Test Methods of Adolescent Rope Skipping Skills” compiled by the National Youth Sports Skills and Grade Standards Research Group, which clearly states that rope skipping has a history of at least 2000 years.

After the establishment of the Chongqing Rope Skipping Association, Ren Wendong began to promote rope skipping in Chongqing. During the promotion, he found a problem that most people do not have a comprehensive understanding of rope skipping: “many people think that rope skipping is skipping within a specified period of time, and those who jump more can win. In fact, it only belongs to speed rope skipping.”

In order to give the public a more comprehensive understanding of rope skipping, rope skipping coach Wen Duoduo introduced the four categories of rope skipping: “first, speed skipping, it is what we usually learn in school, and its purpose is to conduct physical tests or speed competitions; the second is fancy rope skipping, which is mainly used for viewing and performance, and can have a lot of cool movements; the third is musical rope skipping, which needs to follow the music beat, complete the prescribed movements and optional movements, and arrange them into a complete set of movements to participate in the competition; the last one is recreational rope skipping, which is generally carried out on special venues (such as mats full of soap bubbles), mainly to engage in team-building activities, so that everyone can find their innocence and release the pressure in their minds.”

In order to give reporters a more intuitive feeling of these four kinds of rope skipping, Wen Duoduo also showed reporters videos of three kinds of rope skipping besides speed rope skipping. The video of fancy skipping came from a college sports meeting in Suqian of Jiangsu Province. Several boys performed a stunning fancy rope skipping -- they threw the rope in a fancy way while skipping with somersault. It is learned that this video had 9.199 million views on the Tik Tok at that time, making it among the hot hits. (Translated by Wang Junli, Fathom Language Limited)
