The Trampoline and Aerobics competition kicked off on Monday in the Minsk Arena. In Aerobic Gymnastics, eight mixed pairs battled for the medals while in Trampoline the medals in men’s synchro and women’s individual were distributed. Exciting until the eighth and final routine, the men’s synchro final started with mistakes by two of the favourites: Belarussian World Champions Uladzislau Hancharou and Aleh Rabtsau and Russians Mikhail Melnik and Andrey Yudin.
Then France’s Allan Morante & Sebastien Martiny climbed to the top over the leader board, only to be overtaken for Anton Davydenko & Mykola Prostorov who represent Ukraine. The best was still to come though as the last pair, Lukasz Jaworski & Artur Zakrzewski of Poland, produced an excellent routine to claim the first Trampoline title for Poland.
