Reflections, Reflections

OK, so some people question the thought of having such an Olympic sport, as if sports aren´t total entertainment, so why do they want to tar and feather the trampoline? Even if it falls in the "judges decide it all" sports category, and all the issues that exist with neurotic rules, judge´s personal preferences, corruption, I still give a sound vote of approval for the trampoline as a sport.

I´ve been on a trampoline before, needless to say that my condition was not exactly athletic. I certainly found it enjoyable, but also very demanding. If you just "bounced around", as the Olympics guys look like they are doing, and didn´t concentrate and used a lot of your strength, you lost control big time.

Maybe if you are a strong athlete, the trampoline is just an easy way to do multiple flips with that wonderful feeling of having defied gravity. They sure make it look like it´s a high flying piece of cake for them.
