Mini-Trampoline: Formerly A Dissident
The gym of the Russian National University of Physical Education, Sports and Tourism has hosted the Moscow City double mini-trampoline championship, which was part of the rebound sports tournament. Several age groups competed among themselves – the masters (born in 1991-1993), the candidate masters (born in 1994-1995) and the firstgraders (aged 9-12). The mini-trampoline is a double netted trampoline of a small height; one of its parts is set at a certain angle in order to make the athletes capable of performing incredible gymnastics after the build-up. This discipline is included in the Olympic trampolining, but hasn't been recognised as an Olympic sport so far. Nevertheless, this is likely to happen someday. The results of the Moscow championship was the formation of a team that shall defend the athletic honour of the capital at the national championship to be held at Taganrog.
