就在半个月多前,这位来自吉安市兴桥镇的“90后”,在2025年UJR世界跳绳公开锦标赛暨世界杯中,一人勇夺六枚金牌。谁曾想,这位闪耀世界的跳绳冠军,曾是一名普通的铲车司机,是坚持与热爱,让他“跳出”了工地,跳上了国际舞台。
"Life isn't meant to be stagnant—I was born to stand in the spotlight!" On September 1st in Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, Liu Chaolong, returning home with honors, spoke to reporters with eyes ablaze.
Just two weeks earlier, this post-90s athlete from Xingqiao Town, Ji'an City, had claimed six gold medals at the 2025 UJR World Jump Rope Open Championship and World Cup. Surprisingly, this world-renowned jump rope champion was once an ordinary forklift driver. It was his persistence and passion that propelled him from construction sites onto the international stage.

刘超龙与跳绳的缘分,早在童年就已埋下种子。小学时,他代表学校参加区跳绳比赛初露锋芒;初中时,他包揽了所有校内跳绳比赛的第一名。一次次站上领奖台的经历,“我能把绳跳好”的信念在他心中悄然扎根。
毕业后,和大多数普通人一样,刘超龙外出打工。不过,他干的是铲车司机的活,与专业及特长无关,一度迷茫的他,也曾觉得这一生看到了头。

好在,他还有自己的热爱,下班后,他重拾兴趣,每天坚持跳绳。想要在跳绳领域站稳脚跟,过硬的体能是基础。体校毕业的他,体能本就不差,为了坚固体能,2012年在浙江开铲车的刘超龙,每天早晨七点,雷打不动跑步10公里去工地搅拌站上班。晚上下班后,他的空闲时间就是练习跳绳。
没有场地,工地、楼顶、马路,都是他的训练场;没有灯光,他就打开铲车的大灯,让光束汇聚于一身。“晚上工地上特别黑,方圆几公里可能只有我一个人。但当那束灯光打过来——就像舞台的追光,只为我亮起。”绳子常被碎石沙地磨断,他就用打火机烧一下断口,粘起来继续跳。“只要能练,这些都不算什么。”
Liu Chaolong's journey with jump rope began in childhood. In elementary school, he represented his school at district competitions and showed early promise. By middle school, he dominated every school jump rope contest, consistently finishing in first place. Each podium experience quietly planted the seed of belief: "I can master this."
After graduation, like many ordinary individuals, Liu Chao Long went out to work. However, he found himself as a forklift driver, a job unrelated to his education or talents. At one point, feeling lost, he thought his life had reached a dead end.
Fortunately, his passion for jump rope remained. After work, he rekindled his interest and committed to daily practice. Exceptional physical fitness was essential to establish himself in the sport. Having graduated from a sports school, his stamina was already solid. To further strengthen it, Liu Chaolong—working as a forklift operator in Zhejiang Province in 2012—would run 10 kilometers every morning at seven sharp to reach the construction site's mixing plant. After work, he dedicated his free time to practicing jump rope.
With no dedicated space, construction sites, rooftops, and roads became his training grounds. When night fell, he would turn on his bulldozer's headlights, bathing himself in their glow. "The construction site is pitch-black at night. For miles around, I might be the only soul there. But when that beam of light hits me—it's like a spotlight on stage, shining just for me." The rope often snapped on the gravel and sand, so he would cauterize the frayed ends with a lighter and stick them back together to keep jumping. "As long as I can train, none of that matters."
从“不务正业”到全国冠军
From Amateur to National Champion
以前坚持跳绳,可能是因为热爱。直到2012年底,一次偶然的机会,刘超龙在网上看到跳绳比赛的视频,他第一次知道,跳绳不只是校园里的小游戏,还有全国性的专业比赛。“当时全国的跳绳爱好者有个QQ群聊,大家会在里面分享训练视频。我第一次看花样跳绳,那种灵动的技巧、超快的速度,一下就把我吸引住了。”
加入跳绳爱好者群聊后,刘超龙像打开了新世界的大门。他翻遍群里的比赛资料,记下全国冠军的成绩:“知道全国第一名能跳多少个,我就有了目标。从那天起,我开始自己琢磨训练方法,一点点往‘专业’靠。”
2014年,他做出一个大胆决定,辞去铲车司机的工作,全心投入跳绳。家人强烈反对,“跳绳是小孩游戏,能有什么前途?”
只有爷爷说:“喜欢就去做。”

追梦的路并不平坦,独自在工地练习,只有铲车灯和影子为伴……但他从未退缩。他甚至把跳绳当作“战友”,每次练完都会把绳子擦干净,放在枕头边。
2014年,刘超龙终于在全国跳绳联赛中一举夺得多个第一,30秒单摇跳206个,成为全国顶尖选手。之后,他屡获全国冠军,还登上央视舞台。2017年,父亲特地到福建看他训练,终于理解了他的选择,从反对转为支持。

His persistence with jump rope initially stemmed from pure passion. That changed in late 2012 when Liu Chaolong stumbled upon videos of jump rope competitions online. For the first time, he realized jump rope wasn't just a schoolyard game—it had professional, national-level competitions. "Back then, jump rope enthusiasts had a QQ group chat where people shared training videos. Watching fancy jump rope for the first time, those fluid techniques and blazing speeds instantly hooked me."
Joining the enthusiasts' group opened a new world for Liu Chaolong. He scoured the group's competition archives and noted the national champions' records: "Knowing how many jumps the top performer could achieve gave me a goal. From that day on, I began experimenting with training methods, gradually moving toward professionalism."
In 2014, he made a bold decision: to quit his job as a forklift operator and dedicate himself fully to jump rope. His family strongly opposed this choice. "Jump rope is a kid's game—what future could it possibly hold?" Only his grandfather said, "If you like it, go for it."
The path to his dream was far from smooth. He practiced alone on construction sites, accompanied only by the light from his forklift and his own shadow... but he never backed down. He even treated his jump rope as a "comrade-in-arms," wiping it clean after every session and placing it beside his pillow.
In 2014, Liu Chaolong finally claimed multiple first-place finishes at the National Jump Rope League, achieving 206 single-rope jumps in 30 seconds and becoming a top national competitor. He then went on to win numerous national championships and even appeared on CCTV. In 2017, his father traveled to Fujian Province to watch him train, finally understanding his choice and shifting from opposition to support.
让世界看到中国速度
Showcasing China's Speed to the World
如今,刘超龙已是中国跳绳的一张“名片”。
在国际赛场上,让刘超龙感到特别自豪的事情不止是拿了多少奖杯,还有每次有外国绳友的“点赞”,“他们都会主动过来给我竖大拇指,笑着说‘中国速度very good’!”。这份来自异国他乡的认可,让他更真切地感受到,自己的训练不仅为了个人梦想,更承载着展现中国体育实力的责任。

在2025年UJR世界跳绳公开锦标赛上,他交出了一份惊艳的答卷:30秒单摇速度跳、2×30秒双摇接力、4×30秒单摇接力、4人同步花样、连续三摇跳和90秒单摇速度跳,六个项目全部夺冠。其中连续三摇跳360次、90秒单摇514次,彻底刷新了人们对跳绳极限的认知。
8月16日,站上世界领奖台,看着国旗升起,刘超龙心里满是自豪:“我有不输任何国家选手的信念,我希望通过自己的成绩告诉世界,中国在跳绳领域也有足够强的实力!”
现在,他不仅是运动员,也是一名教练。他培养学生、带队训练,和他们一起进步,“兴趣是最好的老师,看到他们喜欢跳绳,就像看到当年的我自己。”

“我想推动这项运动发展,让更多人知道,跳绳不仅能健身,还能走上世界舞台。”从农村孩子,到铲车司机,再到世界冠军,刘超龙用一根跳绳,跳出了属于自己的辽阔人生。
“很多人认为‘正经人生’只有一种模板:稳定工作,按部就班。但我想说,生活不该一成不变,每个人都有权追梦。”采访结束,他拿起跳绳,手腕轻抖,绳划弧线,如光如电。
如今刘超龙最大的愿望,是让跳绳成为家乡吉安的体育名片,为体育强国建设贡献力量。而那根曾陪他穿过黑暗的绳,还在继续飞舞——因为热爱,所以极致;因为坚持,所以不凡。
Today, Liu Chaolong has become a "calling card" for Chinese jump rope.
On the international stage, Liu takes particular pride not only in his trophies, but also in the praise he receives from foreign jumpers. "They come up to me, give me a thumbs-up, and smile, saying 'Chinese speed is very good!'" This recognition from abroad makes him realize his training is not just for personal dreams—it carries the responsibility of showcasing China's athletic prowess.
At the 2025 UJR World Jump Rope Open Championships, he delivered a stunning performance, winning gold in all six events: the 30-second single-rope speed jump, the 2×30-second double-rope relay, 4×30-second single-rope relay, the 4-person synchronized freestyle, the continuous triple-rope jump, and the 90-second single-rope speed jump. His 360 consecutive triple-unders and 514 single-under jumps in 90 seconds completely redefined the perceived limits of jump rope performance.
On August 16, as he stood on the world podium and watched his national flag rise, Liu Chaolong felt immense pride: "I believe I can match any athlete from any country. Through my achievements, I want to show the world that China possesses formidable talent in the field of jump rope!"
Today, he is not only an athlete but also a coach. He trains students, leads teams, and grows alongside them. "Interest is the best teacher. Seeing them love jump rope is like seeing myself back then."
"I want to advance this sport, showing more people that jump rope isn't just for fitness—it can take you to the world stage." From a rural child to a forklift driver to a world champion, Liu Chaolong has used a single jump rope to leap into a vast life of his own making.
"Many believe a 'proper life' follows one template: a stable job, sticking to the script. But I say life shouldn't be static—everyone has the right to chase their dreams." As the interview concluded, he picked up his jump rope. With a flick of his wrist, the rope traced arcs through the air, swift as lightning. Today, Liu Chaolong's greatest wish is to make jump rope a signature sport in his hometown of Ji'an City and contribute to building China into a leading sporting nation. The rope that once guided him through darkness continues to dance through the air—because passion drives success.
