The awesomest Olympic event...

...is clearly the trampoline. They had coverage today on the prime time broadcast of the Olympic trampoline event and it is the most fun event to watch by far. The contestants fly up in the air, do mad tricks, and then bounce back up to do more tricks.

Also there's a bit of a Nascar element because if they hit their jmps wrong then they go flying off the trampoline and into the mat. A couple of the women in the competition, including the gold medal favorite, took an incorrect leap and ended up off the trampoline. One wrong leap and your Olympic dream is ruined.

This is sort of a kitschy event, like curling, but is also really fun to watch in addition. Very cool.
