Did You Know There is a Rope Skipping World Championship?

There is a world championship for pretty much everything you can imagine, so why not one for rope skipping? It was not something that would have occurred to me, but the other day I was photographing an event for one of my clients, the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, and part of the program was a exhibition by the recent world champions in rope skipping, the team from Hong Kong.

It was spellbinding. I can barely hop over the rope in sync with its rotation, they were able to dance, do flips, not run into each other, all while keeping in sync and entertain the crowd.
