Jump Rope - Partner of CSIT for WSG 2025

Since 1973 the competitive sport of jump rope/rope skipping has made its indelible mark on the world of sports. Since that time the sport has experienced tremendous growth and development and has evolved into the International Jump Rope Union (IJRU), the sole international governing body of jump rope. IJRU represents the merged international federations of Fédération Internationale de Saut à la Corde - International Rope Skipping Federation (FISAC-IRSF) and the World Jump Rope Federation (WJRF). Combined these two entities have produced 21 world championships. Today IJRU enjoys Observer Status with the SportAccord in Lausanne. In this way, IJRU is on a clear path towards the top of the Olympic family pyramid. The purpose is to spread the sport of jump rope/rope skipping, and with it the joy, the physical strength, and the connectedness jumping rope provides. In Loutraki, IJRU is represented by the European Continental Association ERSO and its president Silke Fürnschuss.
