The Los Angeles-Guangzhou Sister City Association held a very successful and exhilarating reception at LAX on Monday evening, July 24. The purpose was to welcome and congratulate the China National Jump Rope Team Guangzhou Huadu Team on their tremendous success in winning 14 gold, 12 silver, and 4 bronze medals at the International Jump Rope Championship Competitions in Colorado Springs, Colorado, during 7/16-23, 2023 competition.

The Huadu Guangzhou team of 9 young jump rope contestants and 3 coaches were all very moved by our warm welcome during their short layover in Los Angeles. The Huadu team won eight gold medals when they participated in the two previous world champion jump rope games in Dubai and Norway. They broke the world record and maintained another world record in the competition this year in Colorado.
