Paris Olympics Jump Rope Engagement Recap
IJRU and the French Federation of Double Dutch partnered to showcase our sport throughout the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. National and World Champion jump rope athletes from Japan, USA, Hong Kong, and France performed more than 25 shows in many arenas and taught thousands of spectators from around the world. IJRU Officials were present to foster relationships and discussions with key individuals, all in an effort to propel our sport forward with sponsorships and future events. With the heightened exposure during the Olympics, we are excited for the future!
