There have been few displays of athleticism more graceful, more coordinated, or more impressive than these elementary school kids breaking a jump rope record.
In this anxiety-inducing, but flawless attempt, 14 students from the Fuji Municipal Harada elementary school in Fuji, Shizuoka, Japan, set a new Guinness World Record for the most skips over a single rope. Amazingly, the students manage to skip over the rope 225 times in just 60 seconds.
Please watch the way this childhood playground game was meant to be played: with purpose, precision, and beauty.
