The list of Australian gymnasts who can call themselves a World Champion is a very exclusive club. To be a part of that club at just 18 years of age is even more special. Last month, Tasmania's own Tristan Styles competed at the Trampoline Gymnastics World Age Group Championships with the goal of completing two successful passes, and emerged with a Gold Medal and the title of World Champion on Double Mini Trampoline.
