Since the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, jump rope athletes have been performing in and around the games. Paris 2024 Olympic games saw an unprecedented level of access of our athletes and sport with in the games.  To attain such access was due to the great work of the French Federation of Double Dutch (FFDD) is a recognized sport entity in France and their President (IJRU Board Member), Nadia Adili  is on the planning committee for Paris 2024. Additionally, IJRU and FFDD partnered to raise the sports profile while in Paris 2024 with jump rope engagements and meetings that organizationally progress our sport.   We must continue this level of access and engagement in future games through deliberate planning and delivery on our actions.   IJRU is happy to announce the IJRU Olympic Task Force.  This task force will be comprised of the immediate past IJRU member Olympic host nations and the next identified IJRU member Olympic host nations.  We welcome France (FFDD), USA (AMJRF), and Australia (ARS) to this task force.  This task force will focus on the following;
