SASI’s Ben Wilden and Scott Brown ended the competition year in style, winning the silver medal in the World Cup Final in Togliatti Russia. The event drew the top 8 competitors in each trampoline/tumbling discipline. The SASI guys came in to the competition with a 5th place world ranking in the synchronised event. The routine they used was new and it was more difficult than the routine that got them the silver in the World Championships, last year. They guys received the highest scores in the competition for their synchronisation but the Japanese pair pipped them overall by a mere 0.1, with superior scores for their execution.
