He Yuxiang, Dong Yu – Jr. Asian Trampoline Champs
The first ever Asian Junior Trampoline Championships saw two victors from China.
He Yuxiang and Dong Yu will, I assume, qualify to the first ever Youth Olympic Games to be held in Singapore this Summer.
A maximum of one male and one female trampolinist born in 1993 or 1994 is allowed per country.
… It makes me wonder if we’ll have any age falsification scandals in Singapore. Since very narrow age requirements are in place for every sport, the most likely scenario would be to have an overage athlete claim they were younger.

Brett MacAulay linked to the F.I.G. report:
As the first major Trampoline and Tumbling meet of the year, Elite Canada in Airdrie, Alta, provided veterans like Jason Burnett and Karen Cockburn with an ideal meet to kick off the season, and gave rising stars like Mariah Madigan and Vincent Ng, both of Toronto, a chance to measure them themselves in head-to-head competition with members of the senior national team.
For the first time at Elite Canada, competition in all disciplines was open with both youth and senior athletes competing against one another. …
… Another change at Elite Canada this year was the introduction of a new scoring system in trampoline which awarded points for “air time,” rewarding competitors with longer routines. The new scoring system will make its international debut in the fall. …
