71st Edition Brings Fitness and Innovation to Delhi
The 71st Edition of Sundays On Cycle & Rope Skipping Sundays was centred around the idea that fitness is constantly evolving.
With the theme “Fitness meets the Future,” the event connected physical activity with innovation, technology and the changing landscape of modern sport. Participants were encouraged to embrace movement while looking toward a future where technology and human performance can work together.

Indian Rope Skipping Federation (IRSF) Powers the Movement
The Indian Rope Skipping Federation (IRSF) played a key role in the 71st Edition, powering the rope skipping component of the initiative and promoting the sport as both a competitive discipline and an accessible fitness activity.
Rope skipping requires coordination, rhythm, speed, concentration and endurance. These qualities make it an excellent activity for developing physical fitness while also serving as the foundation for competitive rope skipping.
Through its involvement in Sundays On Cycle & Rope Skipping Sundays, the Indian Rope Skipping Federation (IRSF) continues to bring rope skipping to wider communities and encourage people to discover the sport.
Champions Inspire the Next Generation
One of the major highlights of the 71st Edition was the presence of accomplished young Indian athletes who brought an additional sense of sporting excellence to the event.
Among the featured champions were:
- T. Chikitha – World Archery Youth Champion 2025, Gold Medalist in Canada
- Parth Salunkhe – Youth World Champion, Gold Medalist in Ireland
- Mahima Chaudhry – Asian Champion and World Cup Medalist
Their achievements provided inspiration to young participants and demonstrated the importance of dedication, discipline and consistent training in reaching the highest levels of sport.
The presence of champions from different sporting disciplines also highlighted the shared values of fitness, perseverance and performance across sports.
Fitness Meets the Future
The theme of the 71st Edition focused on the evolving relationship between fitness, technology and innovation.
Artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are increasingly influencing how people train, measure performance and approach physical activity. However, the foundation remains the same: commitment, discipline, movement and the determination to improve.
The event used this theme to encourage participants to think about the future of fitness while remaining grounded in the importance of physical activity and sporting participation.
For the Indian Rope Skipping Federation (IRSF), this vision aligns with the Federation’s broader efforts to promote modern approaches to training, competition and athlete development.
