Tumbling

This exhilarating sport includes individual and synchronised events as Olympic disciplines both requiring a routine of 10 elements, starting and ending on the feet. The competitions are made up of three routines - the preliminary round where gymnasts compete a compulsory / set exercise, and a voluntary piece followed by a final round voluntary exercise.

Double Mini Trampoline is a sub discipline within the sport. Gymnasts compete in four passes, two preliminary and 2 finals. Each pass consists of two skills, the first performed on the apparatus followed by the dismount onto a landing mat.

Internationally, Tumbling is also part of the Trampolining discipline, however within the UK it sits with the Acrobatic Gymnastics family. Tumbling is a highly spectacular sport requiring a combination of speed, rhythm, spatial awareness, coordination, power and strength. Gymnasts perform a series of eight elements including straight and twisting somersaults along a 25m track.
