Individual Trampolining is an Olympic sport. However, the sport of Trampoline and Tumbling actually consists of 4 events - Individual Trampoline, Synchronised Trampoline, Double Mini Trampoline, and Tumbling.
Individual Trampoline - a single competitor completes 2 routines - one compulsory (set) routine, and a voluntary routine. Each routine consists of 10 skills. Athletes are judged on the difficulty of their routines, their form and their horizontal displacement.
Synchronised Trampoline - 2 competitors, each on their own trampoline, side by side, compete the same routine in unison. The athletes are judged on the difficulty of their routines, their form, their horizontal displacement, and their synchronicity.
Double Mini Trampoline - double mini trampoline is what it sounds like - two small trampolines attached to each other. It is an event similar to vault in artistic gymnastics. The athlete runs down a vault strip, hurdles (mounts) to land on the first tramp square on their feet. They then either somersault to the second square or straight jump to the second square and perform a somersault on the spot. The routine finishes with a dismount - a somersault from the second square to the landing mat. Athletes are judged on the difficulty of their routines, their form, and the quality of their landings.
Tumbling - involves executing acrobatic maneuvers, usually somersaults and handsprings, along a 25-meter track, which can be a rod floor or an air track. Competitors perform a compulsory (set) pass and a voluntary pass, each containing 5 to 8 skills. These skills can include roundoffs, somersaults, front or back handsprings, whips, and full twists, culminating in a dismount onto a landing mat. Athletes are evaluated based on the difficulty of their routines, their form, and the quality of their landings.
