🏅 What do athletes do?

• They bounce on a trampoline and perform:
  • Front and back flips

• Harder flips and twists = higher score
• More complex routines get rewarded

⭐ 2. Execution

• Judges look at:
  • Body control
  • Straight lines
  • Clean landings
• Mistakes reduce points

⭐ 3. Time in the air (flight time)

• The longer you stay in the air, the better
• Shows height and power

⭐ 4. Position accuracy
