A Tyne Tees Television Northern Life report with Anne Avery from a sports hall in Killingworth where a young girl is in training on a trampoline.

Of the Scottish competitors, the ones to watch are Ian Hamilton, who is Britain’s highest ranked competitor, and Alistair McCann, who has been having problems recently. He says that the Russians are outstanding in the sport having both the men and women’s world champions. They recently won the European championships in Edinburgh. He believes the British men could come eigth or ninth, the women possibly in the first ten. Anne Avery comments that many of the competitors are very young.
