I attended podium training for Trampoline. The atmosphere in the huge arena was very relaxed.
Many of the top bouncers — including reigning Olympic Champ the Bronze medalist from 2008 Dong Dong, — are here, as well, taking advantage of the chance to compete in the Olympic venue.

Dong’s got no stress. But Silver medalist Jason Burnett has not yet qualified a spot for Canada in the London Games. Though he’s the world record holder for difficulty, Jason told me he’d be doing a relatively easy routine (playing it safe), especially since his injured ankle is still recovering.
