My Trampolining explanation

                                                                Trampolining
My Explanation…
Intro…

Trampolining is an Olympic sport that involves people jumping on a trampoline and doing routines. It is popular around the world and many children have trampolines in their backyards.

History

The name ‘Trampoline’ came from the Spanish word ‘trampolín’, meaning a ‘diving board’. That is why trampolines are extremely bouncy. It was initially used to train tumblers and astronauts and as a training tool to develop and hone acrobatic skills for other sports such as diving, gymnastics and freestyle skiing. China made the sport popular because they started using trampolines for gymnastics. Nissen invented the trampoline in the 1930s, when, as a teenage gymnast, he and his coach created a piece of equipment out of scrap steel and tire inner tubes for his act in the Iowa Hawkeyes Circus. This gave Nissen the power to leap into a back somersault. He showed off his invention with a kangaroo. He also went trampolining on top of a pyramid!

As a Sport

Trampolining became a sport in 2000 at the summer Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. There are badges that you earn if you improve your routines which include: red, blue, green, Yellow, Purple, Black, orange and Brown. Outside of the Olympics, competitions are referred to as GymSport, or Gymnastics, which includes the events of Trampoline, Synchronized Trampoline, Double Mini-Trampoline & tumbling.The world's largest trampoline is actually several trampolines connected.



Highest

The highest trampoline bounce by a team is 6.73 m (22 ft 1 in) and was achieved by jumper Sean Kennedy and propellers Sean Kennedy and T.J. Kennedy (all USA) on the set of NBC TV show. It was done in New York.

Conclusion:

Trampolining is a popular sport around the world. There are many opportunities to join a club and try the experience.
