Q) What was the interpretation of the unstable landing rule that was handed down at the world championships?

A) The FIG trampoline and tumbling technical committee stood by the decision that in tumbling and double mini trampoline if an athlete that falls and does not take two or more weight bearing steps before falling or touching any thing other than the feet would lose the skill. If the athlete fights gravity and does take two or more weight bearing steps prior to the fall that would get the skill but would receive the appropriate landing deduction.

Q) Now that female athletes are allowed to wear a full length unitard of any color will men be allowed to wear dark pants?
