Using two trampolines, two athletes perform identical 10-skill routines at the same time. In this most artistic event, each performs a mirror image of the other, doubling the visual beauty of the competition. The goal is to have both trampolinists in total synchronization of skills, height and form. Tumblers can propel themselves higher than a basketball goal, demonstrating speed, strength and skill, while executing a series of acrobatic maneuvers. Explosive somersaults with multiple flips and twists will be performed by the top-level contenders.
Athletes perform two eight-skill routines.
The first routine focuses on somersaulting with no more than twist allowed. The second routine requires athletes to show their twisting skills. One eight-skill voluntary routine is performed in finals. The routine should show good control, form, execution and maintenance of tempo. Double Mini-Trampoline is a relatively new sport which combines the horizontal run of tumbling with the vertical rebound of trampoline.
