The modern elastic trampoline was pioneered by the French acrobat Du Trampolin, who used hemp ropes to create a protective net that enhanced the safety of “aerial trapeze artists.” By harnessing the elasticity of the net, he could launch the performers into the air and enable them to execute a variety of daring maneuvers. In the 1930s, George Nissen, an American diving champion, developed a trampoline similar to today’s models. He initially used it to aid his own training in diving and somersaulting, and later went on to found the "Nissen Trampoline Company." During World War II, the United States successfully employed trampolines to train pilots and navigators in spatial orientation skills, achieving remarkable results. Subsequently, trampolining gradually evolved into a competitive sport, gaining widespread popularity in American middle and high schools as well as universities. In 1947, the first national trampoline exhibition was held in Texas, USA, and starting in 1948, trampolining was officially included in competitive events. From there, the sport spread to Europe. In 1958, Britain began hosting the British National Trampoline Championships, and in 1964, the first World Trampoline Championships were held in Britain. The inaugural European Trampoline Championships took place in Paris, France, in 1969. In 1999, the International Trampoline Federation became an affiliated organization of the International Gymnastics Federation, and at the 27th Olympic Games in 2000, trampolining was officially recognized as an Olympic event, featuring two individual competitions—one for men and one for women—each with 12 athletes competing.
