Tumbling, sometimes referred to as power tumbling, is a gymnastics discipline in which participants perform a series of acrobatic skills down a 25 meter (82 ft) long sprung track. Each series, known as a pass, comprises eight elements in which the athlete jumps, twists and flips placing only their hands and feet on the track. Tumblers are judged on the difficulty and form of their routine. There are both individual and team competitions in the sport.[1] Contoh dari tumbling adalah kip, handspring, atau salto. Tumbling berasal dari kata tombolon (bahasa italia), tommelen (belanda), tomber (perancis) yang artinya melompat disertai melenting dan berjungkir balik secara berirama.[2]
