What can I say? It's a bouncy sport after all and I could *not* resist.
Anyway, the true high flyers take over the arena where the Artistic Gymnastics have been holding court so far. Canada's got three legitimate chances at medals starting tomorrow and I can't wait to watch it!!

I love watching the trampoline--let's fly!

This ain't the backyard trampoline I remember.
They're amazing.

I would so lose points for going "WHEEE!" every bounce. I know nothing at all about this sport but it looks like fun.

I find this one easy to follow the scoring and Kyle Shewfelt did a great job explaining it!

Great sport!
ETA: There is an athlete that whistles the whole time! LOLLast edited by Murdoch; 08-03-2012 at 02:50 PM. Reason: Add info

Seems one sport that favors those nosebleed seats. The height they get is

ETA - my childish side is giggling over Dong Dong.

Why are the last two guys' scores so low?

One guy tanked his second routine; I'm guessing the other tanked one too.

LAst two who competed or the guys ranked 15 and 16?
ETA: 15 and 16 ranked - neither finished their routine. If they hit the springs, they are done. Unlike artistic, they can not remount and continue.

Russian knocks off the whistler for second. Dong Dong wins!
So cute that they have a little kiss and cry.
