Trampolining

After the Fédération Internationale de Trampoline (FIT) managed to get its sport on the Olympic Programme for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, the governing body became part of the Fédération Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG), which also governs the Olympic disciplines of artistic and rhythmic gymnastics.

The FIG was founded on 23 July 1881, in Liège, with three founding members: Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. It was originally called the Bureau des Fédérations Européennes de Gymnastique (FEG), and re-named to FIG in 1921. As of 2024, the organization had 149 member federations.

At the Olympics, only an individual event (one for men, and one for women) is contested. Through 2024, China has won the most medals in the discipline, with 16 medals and four golds, while Canada has eight medals and two golds.

Britain’s Bryony Page and Canada’s Karen Cockburn lead the female overall tally in the discipline, both with three medals. Cockburn’s countrywoman Rosie MacLennan won gold medals in both 2012 and 2016. As of 2024, she is the only female trampoline gymnast with more than one Olympic gold medal.

China’s Dong Dong leads the men’s overall medal table, with four medals and one gold from 2008-2020. Just as MacLennan, Belarussian Ivan Litvinovich is the only gymnast of its gender to have won two gold medals at the Olympic Games.
