International Jump Rope Union
The International Jump Rope Union (IJRU) is the highest authority and world governing body for the sport of jump roping and rope skipping.[1][2]
Background
The IJRU was created by a merger of the International Rope Skipping Federation and the World Jump Rope Federation.[3] On July 12, 2021, It became the 10th International Federation to gain Observer status from the Global Association of International Sports Federations.[4]
In March 2021, the IJRU and the Olympic Channel announced an agreement to broadcast and promote a series of jump rope events.[5]
Responsibility
To develop the sport of jump rope and rope skipping globally, the IJRU accredits regional jump rope unions across the world and organizes/regulates skipping events.[2][6][7][8]
