Tulsa -
Another big sporting event is coming to Tulsa. In fact, it is one of three events used to select the U.S. Olympic trampoline team.
Today, the Tulsa Sports Commission announced Tulsa will host the 2012 Elite Challenge March 30 through April 1 at the Tulsa Convention Center.
The gymnastic competition will feature 400 athletes, showcasing the nation's best in men's and women's trampoline, tumbling, synchronized trampoline and double mini-trampoline.
"This event is one to see," said Ray Hoyt, senior vice president of the Tulsa Sports Commission. "Trampoline and tumbling require intense athletic talent, focus and training. Visually, the competition is definitely one of the most thrilling showcases of premier Olympic talent."
Tickets for the Tulsa event are not on sale yet.
Trampoline events involve athletes using trampolines that can propel them up to 30 feet in the air, during which they can perform single, double and twisted somersaults. Tumbling utilizes elevated spring runways that enable athletes to jump at heights more than 10 feet and execute a variety of acrobatic maneuvers. For the double-mini competition, the athlete makes a short run, leaps onto a small two-level trampoline, performs an aerial maneuver and dismounts onto a landing mat.
One man and one woman will represent the United States in trampoline at the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
