$21 million lawsuit against Trampoline Park

We recommend all trampoline activities be done in facilities that have certified, experienced coaches. Drop in Trampoline Parks are too dangerous.

World Games Trampoline Gymnastics – July 24-26

Gymnastics’s highest fliers will compete in three disciplines: Synchronised Trampoline, Doubl Mini-trampoline and Tumbling, where the top eight in each category move on to the finals. The kings and queens of Synchronised Trampoline remain Chinese superstars Dong Dong and Tu Xiao (men’s) and Li Dan and Zhong Xingping (women’s) who bounced away with the titles at both The World Games in 2013 and the World Championships in 2015.

In Tumbling, World champions Yang Song (men’s) and Jia Fangfang (women’s) of China will attempt to write another golden chapter in their already illustrious career histories. Only in Double Mini-trampoline are both reigning The World Games champions absent, paving the way for new gymnasts to soar into the spotlight.
