However, it grew in popularity to such an extent that in 1964, the first ever Trampoline World Championships were held at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Since making its Olympic debut at the Sydney Games in 2000, the sport has consistently featured awe-inspiring displays of acrobatic excellence, with athletes springing to heights of up to 10m. Gymnasts perform a series of short routines, which contain a variety of twists, bounces and somersaults. Precise technique and perfect body control are vital for success, with judges delivering marks for difficulty, execution and flight time. Each individual competition for men and women features two phases: the qualification round and the final round. Athletes perform two routines in the qualification round. The eight athletes with the best scores advance to the finals for one more routine, which determines the results of the competition.
