The Trampoline Gymnastics World Cup was held in Loule, Portuguese on September 5-6.

The event welcomed a total of 125 gymnasts, both men and women, from 24 different nations to the Loule Municipal Sport Hall.

Competitions were held in the Tumbling, Individual and Synchronized Trampoline categories to select the best trampoline gymnasts in the world.

Azerbaijan's team showed an amazing performance on trampoline in the World Cup.

For the first time in the history of independent Azerbaijan, the national gymnasts of this kind of sport became the prize-winners of an international event.

Two national team members Oleg Piunov and Ilya Grishunin gained the bronze medals. Despite gaining high evaluation from the judges - 48,600 points, the national gymnasts on trampoline slightly gave way to Russian sportsmen. The first place went to the sportsmen from China, who got 50,900 points from judges.

Performing in the individual standings, Piunov took the 16th place, while another member of the team, Ruslan Agamirov became the 20th and Grishunin, the 40th.
