First World Trampoline Championships abit of history.

This year the World Trampoline and Tumbling Championships will be held at Daytona Beach, USA from 7th to 9th November 2014

The first World Trampoline Championships were held on Saturday, March 21, 1964 at the Royal Albert Hallin London, England, presented by the Nissen Trampoline Company and the British Amateur Gymnastics Association.
Thirty-two men and sixteen women from twelve countries competed in a double-elimination tournament facing off man-to-man (or woman-to-woman), winners advancing until there was one last man/woman standing. Each gymnast performed a 10-bounce routine for the judges to decide who advances to the next round.
The winners were Dan Millman and Judy Wills, both from United States. The silver and bronze went to Linda Ball from England, and Marikle van der Boogard from South Africa. For Men Gary Erwin from the US won the silver and third place was by Dave Smith from England.
A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history – Mahatma Gandhi.
