A total of eight countries will compete for medals in trampoline gymnastics at the continent’s most important multisport event taking place this October in the Chilean capital of Santiago.
The 2023 Pan American Trampoline Gymnastics Championship was held from May 12-14 in Monterrey, Mexico, with all of the action streamed live on the Panam Sports Channel. Not only were the athletes competing for the continental title, but also a chance to qualify their countries to the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games.
While athletes competed in several events in Monterrey, only the men’s and women’s individual and synchronized trampoline events offered qualification to Santiago 2023 this October.
In the men’s individual competition, Angel Hernandez of Colombia took the gold medal ahead of Lima 2019 champion Jeremy Chartier of Canada and Cali 2021 Junior Pan Am Games champion Rayan Dutra of Brazil, with Dutra already securing his personal spot at Santiago 2023 due to direct qualification from Cali 2021.
