Nearly two-thirds of the victims were children 6 to 14 years of age. About 15 percent of injuries involved young children under 6 years old. Since 1990, CPSC has received reports of 11 deaths related to trampoline use. Trampolines have become increasingly popular in recent years. For the first time, trampoline gymnastics will be a featured sport at the Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia later this week. In 1998, an estimated 640,000 backyard trampolines were sold in the United States

Sports History Alpha Index Index by Sport History Bits Forum ... Search Olympic Sports, Table of Contents Summer Olympic Sports and Disciplines Winter Olympic Sports and Disciplines Criteria for Inclusion Discontinued Sports ... Other Resources The question of how many sports are included in the Olympics is a bit tricky, because the International Olympic Committee doesn't define a sport in quite the same way that most people do. The IOC recognizes a hierarchy of sports, disciplines, and events. To the IOC, a sport is represented by a single international governing body. To look at a concrete example, most people would say that swimming, diving, synchronised swimming, and water polo are four separate sports. However, the international governing body for all three is the Federation Internationale de Natation. In Olympic terms, therefore, the sport is aquatics. Swimming, diving, synchronized swimming, and water polo are aquatics disciplines. An event, in Olympic terms, is any competition for which medals are awarded. So men's platform diving is an event, diving is the discipline, and aquatics is the sport. It should be noted that, for many sports, the sport is also the discipline. That's true, for example, of badminton, baseball, and basketball. It's not true of archery, though; the sport is archery and the discipline is target archery. Target archery happens to be the only archery discipline included in the Olympics, but the International Archery Federation also governs competition in field archery and ski archery, which are considered separate disciplines.

Gymnastics Gymnastics Artistic Gymnastics Rhythmic Gymnastics Trampoline Glossary ... Greek Olympic Team Gymnastics is one of the oldest Olympic sports. It has always been a part of the ancient, as well as the modern Olympic Games. The term “gymnastics” derives from the Greek word “gymnos”, meaning naked. This is also the root of the word “gymnasium”, which was a training area where athletes gathered to exercise, compete in sports and receive training in philosophy, music and literature. Description Grace, rhythm, skill and dynamic movement are only some of the characteristics of Gymnastics, one of the most popular sports of the Olympic Games. Athletes, with or without the accompaniment of music and only with their body or with the use of apparatus, perform a series of exercises where art and sport coexist, thereby attracting millions of fans. Gymnastics disciplines that have developed internationally are: Artistic Gymnastics, Rhythmic Gymnastics, Trampoline, Sports Acrobatics, Sports Aerobics and General Gymnastics.

40. Gay & Lesbian Health & Fitness From 365Gay.com trampoline made its olympic debut in Sydney, making Wallace s career seem charmed indeed. But the sport that I excelled in as a child was trampoline, http://www.365gay.com/health/fitness/Sports/071005Sports.htm

Forums Daily Email Updates Bookmark us PD ... Queer Science Olympic Gymnast Named Gay Games Ambassador by Ben James, 365Gay.com Sports At age 23, trampoline athlete Ji Wallace not only won a silver medal at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney but also captured the crowd's heart, waving and running circles around the floor. Now Wallace brings a similar enthusiasm to support the 2006 Gay Games in Chicago as the first Australian to join the Gay Games Ambassadors, a group of prominent athletes and artists supporting the Gay Games and its guiding principle of “Participation, Inclusion and Personal Best”. "I truly appreciate the symbolism of a multi-sport event the opening ceremony, what it means to be there and to compete", said Wallace. "The Gay Games can be anyone's Olympics and anyone's dream. The opportunity to compete in Chicago next year can be anyone's life-changing moment". Wallace, now 28, retired from trampoline following his success in 2000. He pursued aerial skiing for two seasons, coached trampoline in China, and worked for Nike Asia Pacific. Earlier this year he decided to resume training with his sights set on competing at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. He also came out publicly as gay in April although he had been out to family and friends for many years. Trampoline made its Olympic debut in Sydney, making Wallace's career seem charmed indeed. In the late 1990s he was just reaching his peak in the sport and qualified to participate in an Olympic Games in his home country.
