What moves are there in trampolining?

User Avatar

Asked by Ladybird667

I've seen a five foot trampoline before. If you mean those tiny round ones, then there are extremely few moves: just straight jumps or maybe tuck jumps. Anything else is too difficult and/or dangerous. You'll be a lot happier with a 15 ft trampoline.

Does Nadia Comaneci have a granddaughter who is a gymnast?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As Nadia Comaneci was born in 1961 (age 49 in 2011, 50 this November) and only married Bart Connor in the 1990's, she does not have a granddaughter who does gymnastics. They do however have a son named Dylan Paul Conner, born on June 3, 2006 in Oklahoma City.

The question may have arisen because of a video on Youtube which falsely identifies the Bulgarian gymnast Boyanka Angelova (born 1994) as Comaneci's granddaughter.
