Asian Rope Skipping
Championships 2011, 21-25
July 2011
The Singapore
team for the
6th Asian Rope Skipping Championships was
supported by Rope
Skipping
Singapore (RSS), Rulang Primary School and the families of the
athletes.
Countries participating are
Hong
Kong, Macau, China, Japan, Korea, Singapore, India, Pakistan and
Malaysia.
Our Singapore team of 4 Jumping Jewels and 8
Rulangnites won 4 bronze medals.
The Korean federation who hosted the championships has outdone
themselves by giving us a wonderful venue for the games. Another
outstanding thing
they did was to hire a team of undergraduate translators to be liaisons
for the participating countries. Many other thoughtful details
made this Asian Championships an enjoyable experience.
