Back in 2010, Rosa Mendes won herself a Slammy Award for jumping rope.
During a recent appearance on the “Ring the Belle” podcast, Rosa commented on her jumping rope sequences, why she wasn’t a fan of getting a Slammy Award for it, and more.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On her jumping rope sequences: “Oh my God. Where was that going? I had this idea. I’m like, ‘Well, why don’t I try and get into LayCool?’ Which, that’s what I was trying to do.’ I was trying to be into LayCool, and I was trying to train to be in their group. And they’re like ‘Okay, so you’ll train, train, train.’ And then they’re like, ‘Well, we don’t know if that’s gonna work.’ So then I’m like, ‘So what, I’m training backstage for no reason? But they’re like, ‘You’re getting TV time.’ But still, at the end there was no payoff.”
On getting a Slammy Award for it: “Yeah, but for what, you know what I mean? That was just degrading. Ae all know that. I look back at that and that that wasn’t good for like a female represented as an athlete. It was very distasteful and rude…. jump[ing] rope is fine, but it was the Slammy. I really didn’t like that, and I wish that — it’s one of those things, but you know what? You live, you learn.”
