UNREEL Highlights 2023

New for 2024 ~ Junior World Champion Category

FTA World Championships Qualifier Juniors

For 2024, the FTA is introducing a NEW Junior Category, ages 13 - 15 (you must be turning 13 in 2024, or born in 2011), who will have slightly different judging and scoring rules than the seniors (age 16+). The FTA is looking for technique and to ensure the Juniors are not going for ‘big’ skills they are not yet prepared to land to feet. We are looking for true athletic control. We want them to be balanced and show good landings for the future of their athletic development. Therefore, the judging differences will include:

The final skill of the combo MUST be landed to feet on the trampoline.
- If the Athlete subsequently ‘flys off’ the trampoline and does NOT land on their feet they will still receive a score, however, there will be a deduction of at least 2.0 points from their total score for lack of control.
- If the Athlete subsequently ‘flys off’ the trampoline but still lands on their feet they will receive a deduction of 1.0 from their total score for lack of control.
Each combination MUST show a variety of both forward and backward rotations.
Each combination MUST show at least one skill with a double twist within the skill (ie. Full Full) with a good variety of both flipping and twisting skills within the combo.
Each combination MUST show at least one feet-to-feet skill (take off from feet and land on feet) at some point in the combo.
Athletes must score a minimum of 21.0 out of 30.0 (maximum score) at the Qualifier to be eligible to compete in the World Championships.
If there are less than 4 Juniors entered in a Qualifier, they will still need to compete to achieve the minimum score required.

FREESTYLE TRAMPOLINE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2023

LONDON, UK. August 3, 2023. The Freestyle Trampoline World Championships was back once again in Hackney, London, UK on August 2-3, 2023 at the historic Round Chapel. In a very close battle, Robin Steiner from Switzerland (@flips_by_robin) representing UNIK PLAYGROUND and BERG emerged victorious with a score of 46.4 out of 50.0 on the 5² EUROTRAMP custom freestyle trampoline stage, just narrowly topping contender Aleksi Sainio from Finland (@sainioaleksi) who placed 2nd (46.1) for the second year in a row. Johannes Luethi (@johannesluethi) from Austria stunned the crowd with his 3rd place finish (44.8) to round out the podium.

Debuting this year was a ladies category for the first time in Freestyle Trampoline history. Ten woman were invited to compete from across Europe and America, with 9 attending. They impressed the crowds with their skill level and their determination, representing all girl flippers around the world with style. Emerging victorious was Lyydia Peltomaki from Finland with a score of 42.2 just ahead of Nicole Steiner from Switzerland with 41.7 and rounding up the podium in third was Marlene Metzger from Austria with 39.80. The FTA hopes their accomplishments will encourage more woman to enter into the world of freestyle trampoline and look forward to qualifying to compete in 2024.

Austria, Switzerland and Finland certainly seemed to dominate the competition this year, although 12 countries were represented in total. Previous World Champion, Sebastian Wennmalm from Sweden, was a favourite to place on the podium again this year, but a bad landing during the preliminary round on Wednesday night left him with a sore neck and he was not up to his usual standards during the semi-finals, placing 5th, just behind Robin Steiner, the eventual winner. Robin was sitting in fourth place after the semi-final round but then went on to win by landing the world's first quadruple twisting, quadruple backflip.

We congratulate all of the athletes who competed this year and represented their countries so well. See you all in 2024!
