Remembering Signe Richter

Signe Richter (Germany)

13. July 1950 - 19. May 2023

The global Jump Rope Community mourns the passing of Signe Richter (Germany). Signe was the founder of one of the oldest rope skipping teams in Germany (The Flying Ropes). She supported the sport’s growth for over a decade as part of the German Head-Board and served as a head coach and head of delegation at multiple international competitions. She also created and organized the German X-Mas and Ostercamp / Eastern Camps. Signe’s significant contributions to the sport of jump rope/ rope skipping in Germany, Europe and around the world will not be forgotten.

She’ll be missed, not only by her family, but also by our entire community.
