"The apparatus was said to have been developed by Eskimos and invented - according to circus lore - by a French trapeze artist named du Trampolin. More officially, American inventor George Nissen designed the first modern-style trampoline in 1936. The 2000 Olympics was the first to include competition on trampoline." Australian Ji Wallace, who finished second-place in 2000 said: "I think every kid has a trampoline. It was thought of as a backyard sport." Well, yes, I still think so...
