They have WHAT in the Olympics?

Ok, I just have to share this since I am assuming there are those of you out there like myself who had no idea that TRAMPOLINE is an official Olympic event. Yeah, each participant gets 10 jumps to impress the judges.

I found it funny though that you have to be at least 18 years old to compete...aren't the younger people likely to have less fear and therefore wouldn't they make better participants?

Secondly, the US only has one man and one women competing and they made it in basically as afterthoughts because the IOC had empty spots to fill. Wow, you mean the US couldn't watch some of those Youtube videos and scout some sick talent to send to Beijing? Just kidding. (kinda...)
