The championship is scheduled to take place in Kawasaki, Japan, from July 24th to 28th. Representing India, a robust team of 40 players will showcase their skills on this international stage. This diverse group includes athletes from Nashik and Thane in Maharashtra. Notable members of the team are Rajul Lunkad, Naman Gangwal, Ronak Salve, Ishan Putharan, Manas Mungi, and Sukrit Bendale. The female contingent features Bhumika Nemade, Tanvi Nemade, Parul Zankar, Bhargavi Patil, Shriya Vani, Ankita Mahajan, and Padmakshi Mokashi.

Coach Karnik has emphasized the rigorous preparation and hard work put in by the players.

The team’s journey to Japan marks a significant milestone, not just for the athletes, but for the sport of jump rope in India, highlighting the growing popularity and competitive spirit of the game.
India has achieved success in jump rope championships before, particularly through individual athletes.

As the Indian team competes in Kawasaki, they carry the hopes and support of their nation, aiming to achieve new heights and bring home laurels from the Asian Jump Rope Championship.
