Trampoline is a popular sport that MANY people partake in either recreationally or competitively. The first trampoline was created by George Nissen, a competitive gymnast in 1936.

A few important people in trampoline are judges, coaches, and athletes. An important coach is Dave Ross. Dave Ross is a coach at a trampoline club called Skyriders. Skyriders is home of many Canadian Olympic athletes and Ross coaches them all. Ross has had many athletes win medals at the Olympics and he was there to support them all. Just to name a few important athletes that he has coached are… Rosie McLennan who won our only gold medal at the 2012 London Summer Olympics. Jason Burnett, who won a silver medal at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. Burnett is also the world record holder of D.D. which is 20.6, he did compete at the 2012 Olympics, but he fell. Karen Cockburn also has won a silver and 2 bronze Olympic medals and Summer Olympics, and at the 2012 Olympics she came 4th. These people are all majorly important but some of the most important people are the judges and without them, we wouldn’t be able to hold
