This sport was first found in China
where Chinese men and women would stand on top of people completing tricks
with a different difficulty. When these tricks were completed they would
get a score that would determine what place they earned.
If you now go to a Sports Acrobatics
competition you will see all different types of tricks varying from levels
four to elite. The lowest level is level four where most of the tricks
to not involve stnading on each other. This level includes many sycronized
stands and positions.
In the level elite you will see all
variations of tricks. Some of these tricks include people flying throughout
the air and some other tricks include standing. When you are trying a new
trick for the first time you must have a coach standing by so if you do
not get it right away then you will have some help so nothing bad happens.
When you have a man and a woman competing
together then you have a mixed pair and the tricks are a little more difficult
than womens pair. The tricks may have more flipping or more flying.
When you have two men doing
a routine together, then the tricks are a lot more difficult. The girls
pair elite would probaly never try the tricks of a mens pair elite.
In this area of sports there are means
and womens pairs and also pairs and trios. There is alos a mens four but
not a girls four.
