The one-day event was held as part of the Panasonic Kids School
educational programs conducted worldwide with about 460,000
children taking part annually. Panasonic holds the “Rope Jump”
contest, which is a unique program in which teams consisting of at
least 10 members jump a rope together continuously for three
minutes. They compete for total points based on the numbers of the
jumps they made and turns they took during the time.
Children from Japan and the United Kingdom participated in the
special event, with two performances started at 13:15 and 17:30, to
introduce and demonstrate how the Rope Jump is played on the stage.
Their exciting performance captivated approximately 10,000 Olympic
Games fans visiting the Live Site located in the lawn area of the
riverbank in the Olympic Park. The Park Live stage is "floating" on
the river and features Panasonic’s two giant LED display systems
that stand back-to-back so that crowds on both sides of the river
can enjoy live action. Each screen has a total display area of 133
square meters.
The children were members of the team Asahi Jumping Infinity
from Asahi Elementary School in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan and St.
Lawrence Leapers from St. Lawrence Church of England School in
Surrey, U.K., one of the Panasonic Kids School Rope Jump
participating schools. Asahi Jumping Infinity is the winner of
Panasonic’s Third World Rope Jump Championship, coming out on top
of the 465 teams from 11 countries including Brazil, Canada, China,
Czech Republic, Germany, India, Japan, the Netherlands, the United
Kingdom, the United States and Vietnam. On July 30, the two teams
gathered at St. Lawrence Church of England School to get to know
each other and practice jump rope for the event at the Olympic Park
the next day.
