… March … My goal is to get the kids through the State Meet and to Regionals and Nationals without injury. We Train Hard. Nearly 100% focus on perfecting routines and consistency. I get pretty paranoid and really try NOT TO take any unnecessary risks in the gym. Even a twisted ankle at this point in the season could be disastrous.
We try very hard to make every practice like a competition. Timed warm up etc. …

Can you recall anyone doing it earlier?
Yao Jinnan is competing it in 2012.
Moustafina has competed it.
The question is, who will it be named after in the Code of Points?
Danita is sure that it must be competed at World Championships or Olympic Games. We’ll see it in London, I’m sure.
Elite Canada T&T Results
Top-ranked Jason Burnett of Toronto, who needed to finish either first or second to clinch Canada’s lone Olympic berth in men’s trampoline, faltered in the final and wound up 10th in an open competition for both youth and senior competitors.
A silver medal winner at the last Olympics in 2008, Burnett will have another chance to book his return ticket to the Games at a second qualification meet at the end of April in Gatineau, Que. …
“Winning was definitely a surprise,” said (Keegan) Soehn. “I came into the final just hoping to make my routine because I was having a bit of trouble in the warm ups but I felt great right from the start and I felt like I knew I was going to do well.” …
In women’s trampoline, Karen Cockburn of Toronto, topped the field and showed she’s on right on track with a more difficult optional routine she hopes will help carry her to a record fourth straight Olympic medal this summer.
Cockburn finished first with a score of 54.775 followed by fellow Torontonians Rosannagh MacLennan and Samantha Smith with 52.970 and 51.355 points respectively.
“I was really happy to do my higher difficulty routine for the first time in the final today,” said Cockburn, who won a bronze medal at the 2000 Olympics and silver at the 2004 and 2008 Games. …
Cockburn and MacLennan have already locked up Canada’s two Olympic spots in women’s trampoline and are fine tuning their routines at competitions at home and abroad in the lead up to the Games July 27 – August 12. …
