Ivan Litvinovich of Belarus and Russia's Irina Kundius won the men's and women's titles in the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) Trampoline World Cup in Baku.

Tokyo 2020 gold medallist Litvinovich posted a score of 61.850 in the Azerbaijani capital to secure the victory over his compatriot Andrei Builou.

Every athlete in the finals was only allowed to have one attempt at a routine.

Builou was close behind in second place with 60.800 points.

In the end it was Litvinovich's superior execution and time of flight that set the two apart.

Kazakhstan's Daniil Mussabayev claimed the bronze medal with 58.890 points.

In the women's event Kundius selected a 13.80 difficulty rating routine which paid off as she put up 53.900 points.

Italian Giorgia Giampieri then scored 51.820 points to make up the podium.

Maia Amano of the United States boldly attempted a routine with a 14.00 difficulty rating, the highest of the final, but struggled to deliver on the execution, time of flight and horizontal displacement resulting in a fifth-place finish with 50.270 points.

The Turkish pair pulled off a stunning performance resulting in the judges awarding them 44.140 points.

Builou and Litvinovich then stormed the men's synchronised event to win gold with 52.810 points.

The ping of our free daily email alert, sent every morning at 6.30am UK time 365 days a year, landing in their inbox, is as a familiar part of their day as their first cup of coffee.

Even during the worst times of the COVID-19 pandemic, insidethegames.biz maintained its high standard of reporting on all the news from around the globe on a daily basis. We were the first publication in the world to signal the threat that the Olympic Movement faced from the coronavirus and have provided unparalleled coverage of the pandemic since. 

As the world begins to emerge from the COVID crisis, insidethegames.biz would like to invite you to help us on our journey by funding our independent journalism.

The remainder of 2022 is not going to be any less busy, or less challenging. We had the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, where we sent a team of four reporters, and coming up are the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, the Summer World University and Asian Games in China, the World Games in Alabama and multiple World Championships. Plus, of course, there is the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

When British skaters Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean won the Olympic gold medal in ice dance at Sarajevo 1984 with 12 perfect 6.0s from every judge, for their interpretation of Maurice Ravel's Boléro, an important member of their team was singer-actor Michael Crawford.

Crawford said he “taught them how to act". He was present with their trainer Betty Callaway at the ringside at Sarajevo as they created one of the most iconic moments in Olympic history.
