32nd Trampoline World Championships, Bulgaria

November 9-12, 2017

Trampoline, Double Mini-Trampoline and Tumbling

Olympic Champion Rosie MacLennan is not competing, but most of the the BIG NAMES in Trampoline will be there.

New for this Olympic cycle, in Trampoline, horizontal displacement will be evaluated by judges using video. If the gymnast’s body touches a zone outside the designed red square center box of the bed, a deduction will be applied. This should make routines safer, scoring more objective.

UPDATE from Anna:

At Worlds HD deductions will actually be taken by centre of mass in the bed, which does mean there is a chance to be slightly outside a zone and get the lesser deduction. Therefore scores should be slightly higher than when it is judged manually by eyes (and judged by hips).

So far we have found it is not a great separator for total score (i.e. expect the top 20 to score 9.7+ for each routines, and quite a few 10s), but it an exceptional encouragement for safety and control.

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.
