I'm sure it's not easy but it's still not much of a sport.

I think it looks like a lot of fun but I can't believe there's a competition anywhere for who can bounce on a trampoline best.

I feel like it's people that can't compete in real gymnastics so they do trampoline.

It doesn't seem much different than diving to me - Guigue Aug 3, 07:10 3

- Maybe if they did the trampoline in water, it would be more of a sport. or in bikinis...yes, trampoline in water with bikinis. -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 07:11 1

Maybe I'm just an old curmudgeon...but I don't even like that they make the floor exercise floor all springy. - Jim Aug 3, 07:07 13

  - And the only professionals that could be in the Olympics were Russian... -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 07:12 3
    - And the East German women were bigger and hairier than American men -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 07:13 2

        Whew...glad to see EVERYthing hasn't changed. -- nm - Jim Aug 3, 07:44
- Agreed. I don't like the bouncy floors and I have no idea what happened with the scoring. I think they changed the scoring to try and prevent biased - Krusty Aug 3, 07:10 6
  - I thinkit's more a way to account for differing levels of difficulty in the routines, which makes sense to me. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:19 4
    - I think it's this and what I mentioned. They had problems with scoring and they seem to have fixed it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:25 3
      - Depends on your definition of "fixed". If by "fixed" you mean, it's more fair and the true winners will emerge...ok, fine. if by "fixed" you mean... - Jim Aug 3, 07:36 2
        
        Anything that can make things less subjective in judging, I'm all for. - Will Hunting Aug 3, 07:47
        
        I mean more fair and at the same time it's also more confusing. -- nm - Krusty Aug 3, 07:45
  - ALL GLORY TO FLOOR ROUTINE BY HYPNOTOAD -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 07:18
- yeah, I totally get the reasons behind the new scoring system, but I still don't like it. -- nm - znufrii, missing an arm Aug 3, 07:09
