About Nissen Cup
The "Nissen Cup" is the oldest international trampoline competition and owes its name to the inventor of the trampoline, George Nissen (USA). As a sports professor and dive master, he constructed the first prototype of a trampoline in his garage in the 1930s, fixing a piece of cloth with elastic bands on a metal frame. The trampoline gymnastics (singles and synchronous) is today an elite sport and Olympic discipline - a discipline that includes freedom, flying and space. The multiple salti and turns at a height of 8 meters require a sophisticated technique, perfect body control and extremely aesthetic movements.
For the World Cup, as well as the also announced junior competitions, about 250 athletes and coaches will be guests in Arosa during four days. Thanks to the large presence of the world's best trampolinists, we can look forward to a top-class and exciting competition.
