Trampoline: top sporting performance in Kassel

On Saturday, November 8, things were flying high in the Auepark sports hall: the University of Kassel hosted the German University Trampolining Championships 2025. Around 150 participants from universities all over Germany competed in the individual, team and synchronized disciplines and wowed the audience and judges alike with their acrobatic precision, elegance and dynamism.

In addition to the official university championships, fringe competitions were also held for alumni, who complemented the diverse field of participants with great sporting commitment and a nostalgic atmosphere.

In the individual competitions, the gymnasts first performed the prescribed compulsory routine P8 from the DTB task book before demonstrating all their skills in a freestyle routine. The 15 best athletes qualified for the final, which was based on the results from the preliminary competition. After the compulsory and freestyle exercises, the following students prevailed in the final rounds:

Charmaine Buchholz (University of Mainz) secured the title of "German University Trampoline Gymnastics Individual Champion" with 100.6 points. Michael Gladjuk (University of Stuttgart) became the German university champion in individual trampolining with 98.3 points.

The team and synchronized competitions were also highly competitive: mixed teams and couples impressively demonstrated how precision, a sense of rhythm and teamwork can be combined on the trampoline. The synchronized competitions, in which two gymnasts performed their jump sequences simultaneously, offered spectators spectacular images and were one of the highlights of the competition day. The winning pairs came from Berlin, Münster and Leipzig.

German university champions in trampoline gymnastics (synchronized) were Ugo Finnendahl and Josef Janenz (TU Berlin) with 107.1 points. Franzina von Häfen and Lara Materne (WG Münster) won the women's title with 117.4 points. Among the mixed pairs, Carlotta Amedick and Paul Kammer (WG Leipzig) came out on top with 117.84 points.

The organizing team from Kassel University Sports ensured that everything ran smoothly, with a professional competition atmosphere and the best conditions for athletes and spectators.

With thrilling finals, an atmospheric award ceremony and lots of applause, a day ended that once again showed how lively and powerful university sport is in Germany.

The University of Kassel can look back with pride on a successful event - and many participants have already announced that they will be back next year for the next German University Trampolining Championships.
