The two-day trampoline gymnastics event hosted by Dunedin Trampoline Sports and Aspiring Gymsports included athletes from clubs in Canterbury, Otago and Southland competing in individual and synchronised trampoline as well as double mini-trampoline categories.
Dynamic Gymnastic Sports founder and event manager Jenny Newstead MBE said about 85 gymnasts took part in the event, which was a national qualifier for the 2024 New Zealand Gymnastics Championships which will take place in Palmerston North in October.
"We tried to create a nice, relaxed, friendly atmosphere for the athletes and judges and everybody."
She thanked the organising committee as well as the judges, sports clubs, organisations and other individuals who helped make the event a success.
It was too soon to say if the event would be run again next year, she said.
"No decision's been made."
But she was in discussions with their host partner Aspiring Gymsports, of Wānaka, about how a potential event could also incorporate gymnastics tumbling.
But there had been so much positive feedback about the weekend that the committee, in principle, had indicated it would like to run the event again, she said.
Dunedin Trampoline Sports committee member Kevin Phillips said trampoline gymnastics Olympians such as Dylan Schmidt and Maddie Davidson helped inspire others to take up the sport.
The feedback he had heard about the event had been "absolutely amazing".
Dunedin first place winners in the individual trampoline category included were Koby Stanton, (male 9-10 years) and Rio Bennet, (male 11-12 years).
Dunedin was also a winner in the double mini-trampoline category with first place going to Koby Stanton (male 9-10 years).
