Dodds wow at trampoline World Cup; Gavin wins silver, breaks Canadian records, blazes trail

“For me, it means progress,” Gavin Dodd said. “It means I’m still working in the right direction toward pushing the limit to see how far I can take the sport.”

His routine also included something that had never been accomplished in the sport – he landed the world’s first triffus to back full-full.

“The triffus is the mounter, the first skill I do onto the double-mini – a triple front flip with a half-twist on the end in a tuck position,” he said. “The back full-full, the world’s first, is a triple backflip in the tuck position, where I do one backflip and then the second and third flips I do a full twist in each one.”

Gavin’s sister, Kristina, was representing Canada for the third time at a senior World Cup.

She set a personal-best single pass score in double-mini.

“This one was probably the most special to me,” she said. “I’m the most happy with the passes I did at this World Cup compared to the other two. They were new passes from this year and I did a new skill I’ve been working really hard to get. I’m really proud to represent the Maple Leaf.”
