Tumbling

Sometimes referred to as power tumbling, this is a gymnastics discipline in which gymnasts perform a series of acrobatic skills down a 25 metre (82ft) long sprung track.  Tumbling is governed by the FIG (International Federation of Gymnastics) and is included as an event within British Gymnastics disciplines.

Tumbling is a truly breath-taking type of gymnastics.  It’s all about somersaults, flips and twists and linking them together, one right after the other.  If you’ve already got a bit of gymnastics experience, it’s easy to get started with tumbling … plus a whole lot of fun!
