A trampoline demonstration at the Omaha Club

One Thursday afternoon, Christian Musset, coach of the France-Espoir team, and Jean-Michel Bataillon, five-time French champion and European champion in 1974, gave a trampoline demonstration to the Omaha club, in front of the summer visitors.

The newspaper presented Omaha as the only club in Normandy to offer this activity every year. After the demonstration of the two champions, about twenty children from the club, aged three to twelve and led by Messrs. Labarrière and Caron, passed the "Kangaroo" test.

The article stressed that the trampoline remained little known despite its five thousand licensees in France. He also mentioned the wife of Jean-Michel Bataillon, then in preparation for the world championships, presented as European champion and seventh in the last world championships in all categories.
