Acrobatic Sports – website

September 26th, 2006 | acrobatic gymnastics, cheer, Circus, Gymnastics, Power Tumbling

I love Sport Acrobatics but had not seen any since it was a demonstration sport at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

I finally saw a competition in North America: the USA Championships. Unfortunately there are very few clubs on this side of the Atlantic.

Sports Acrobatics is currently judged in five categories:

* Men’s
* Women’s
* Mixed pairs
* Women’s triples
* Men’s quadruples

Not surprisingly, after gymnasts, Cirque du Soleil hires more Sport Acrobatics athletes than any other discipline. Their acts are mind boggling.

AcrobaticSport.com is an impressive website I had not seen before.

European based — as is Sport Acrobatics — nonetheless the site is in English making it internationally accessible. Perhaps we can promote this excellent sport more widely.

I’d love to start a training group at my gym.

The site includes extensive trampoline and tumbling content, as well.

Thanks George for alerting me.
