It is the world championships for trampoline gymnastics. It launched in 1964, originally held annually until it switched to a biennial format in 1970 until 1998.

Once trampolining was added to the Olympic games, the event was required to switch to holding it as a qualifier in 1999, the year before the next Olympics.

This year, it will take place in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Trampolining is a competitive sport in which athletes perform various acrobatic movements while bouncing on a trampoline.

A trampoline mark is based on a difficulty and execution score decided by judges. A difficulty score begins at 0.0 and goes up continuously with every difficult skill performed while an execution score is different and begins at a score of 10.0, and is then deducted by judges for errors in performance.

In a competition, a participant will receive five execution scores with the highest and lowest marks thrown out. The three middle scores are then added to the two judges’ difficulty score and a total final mark is given.
