Rope-skipping is child's play - or so it seems for most of us in school. Yet for some Hong Kong teens, it's a serious sport that lets them compete at an international level.
One of the local rope-skipping stars is Timothy Ho Chu-ting, who boasts a tally of six gold, one silver and three bronze medals from two world championships.
What makes him truly proud, though, is to be Hong Kong's first skipping champ to have clinched a medal - a bronze - in an individual category at a world championship.
Timothy, 15, was part of the team representing Hong Kong at the recent 2010 Rope Skipping World Championships and World Youth Tournament in London.
The Hong Kong teens pitted their skipping skills against the world's best young athletes in the sport, including those from the United States, Belgium and Japan. Participants competed, both during team and individual events, in two major categories: freestyle and speed.
Speed skipping involves jumping over a rope as many times as you can in three minutes. The world record in Timothy's age category is a whopping 976 skips.
