Trampolining dates to the 1930s when American George Nissen developed a prototype trampoline in his garage. Men and women will compete in individual trampolining events in Sydney. The sport requires power as athletes need to clear the surface of the trampoline by up to six metres in order to perform manoeuvres. The top performers are able to achieve up to two seconds of air time in which to tumble, twist and turn. It wasn't until the 1960s that the first World Championships was held, and the sport's governing body was formed in 1965. The United States was the early pace setter in trampolining, but in recent years European nations have overtaken the US. Russia, Great Britain and Germany are likely to be the major forces in Sydney.
