2014 WCh Trampoline Gymnastics in Daytona Beach

* f i g - -: The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) and USA Gymnastics have signed an agreement for the United States to play host to the 30th FIG Trampoline and Tumbling World Championships and the 23rd World Age Group Competitions in November 2014. The 2014 Worlds will be the first Trampoline and Tumbling World Championships held in the United States under the auspices of the FIG and USA Gymnastics. However, this will be the fifth time that the USA, where Trampoline was born, will stage the discipline’s World Championships. When Trampoline was governed by the International Trampoline Federation (FIT) and the American Trampoline and Tumbling Association, the event was previously held in Lafayette, La., in 1966; Tulsa, Okla., in 1976; Bozeman, Mont., in 1982; and Birmingham, Ala., in 1988.  The World Trampoline and Tumbling Championships, held annually except in the Olympic year, determines the men’s and women’s World champions in four events: Individual Trampoline, Synchronised Trampoline, Tumbling and Double Mini-trampoline. The World Age Group Competitions showcase the world’s best boys and girls in those four events in four age groups: 11-12, 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18 years of age. The two events are expected to showcase more than 1,100 athletes.
