UJR World Championship 2025 medals are made using the Chinese intangible cultural heritage craft of Longquan Celadon, featuring the time-honored plum green glaze. The front of the medals integrates traditional techniques such as incised and raised carving, resulting in clear layers and a strong sense of space.

Huaian is the hometown of Wu Cheng’en, the author of “Journey to the West” . The image of Sun Wukong is artistically inspired by the beloved portrayal from the classic Chinese animation “Havoc in Heaven” (1980s version). The spiritual essence embodied by Sun Wukong-bravery, fearlessness, the courage to challenge limits, agility, and the pursuit of freedom-aligns perfectly with the sportsmanship required for rope skipping: explosive power, coordination, rhythm, and an unwavering drive to surpass one’s limits. This makes it a fitting representation of the event’s vitality and fighting spirit.

As a significant landmark of the World Cultural Heritage (the Grand Canal of China) in Huai’an, Qingjiangpu Tower is thoughtfully integrated into the design. It symbolizes Huai’an’s rich history as the “Capital of the Canal,” its profound cultural heritage, and its open and inclusive urban character, serving as the central cultural identifier for the event held in Huai’an.
