Why Trampoline Gymnastics Is Your Fantasy Edge

Most fantasy players stick to football. Maybe basketball. The adventurous ones dabble in cycling or combat sports. But trampoline gymnastics? Almost nobody touches it.

That’s exactly why it matters. On Peaxel, you’re not competing against millions chasing the same Premier League forwards. You’re building lineups across every sport—including Olympic disciplines where the competition for athlete cards is thin and the upside is real.

Trampoline gymnastics sits in that sweet spot. It’s an Olympic medal sport with a packed international calendar, yet it flies completely under the fantasy radar. If you’re looking for undervalued athletes, this is where you start.

How Trampoline Works on Peaxel

Here’s the quick version. Peaxel is a free-to-play fantasy game where you collect digital athlete cards and build lineups. Athletes earn points based on real-world performance—competition results, rankings, and achievements all feed into your fantasy score.

For trampoline gymnastics, that means World Championships, World Cup events, European Championships, and World Games all count. Every medal, every final appearance, every scoring milestone translates into fantasy value.

Step 1: Find Your Athletes

Browse the full list of sports on Peaxel and filter by Olympic disciplines. You’ll find trampoline athletes with real international credentials—not random names, but actual FIG-ranked competitors.

Step 2: Add Cards to Your Collection

Each athlete has a card you can collect. Think of it like building a roster. The key is identifying athletes who’ll perform before everyone else notices them.

Step 3: Build Lineups and Compete

Your collected athletes form your lineup. When they compete and succeed in real life, you score. Simple as that.

Three Undervalued Trampoline Athletes for 2026

Now for the actual picks. These aren’t household names—that’s the point. They’re proven performers with recent results who remain undervalued in fantasy because the discipline itself is overlooked.

Hayato Miyano (Japan)

Here’s someone most fantasy players have never heard of. Hayato Miyano walked into the 2025 World Championships in Pamplona and left with three medals: bronze in individual, silver in men’s synchro, silver in mixed synchro.

Three medals. At Worlds. In a single competition.

He trains with Kanazawa Gakuin University and has been rising through Japanese national team ranks for years. Japan dominates trampoline historically, and Miyano is now firmly in their medal conversation. His card should be in your collection before the 2026 season heats up.

Lucas Santos (Portugal)

Portugal in trampoline? Yes—and they’re actually good. Lucas Santos helped Portugal win team gold at the 2022 World Championships, which was historic for the country. Then in 2025, he and partner Gabriel Albuquerque took gold in synchronized trampoline at the World Games.

Santos is only 23 and competes in both individual and synchro events. That means double the opportunities for fantasy points across the calendar. He’s technically precise, performs well under pressure, and comes from a program nobody’s watching. That’s the definition of undervalued. Check out his athlete card.

Ruben Padilla (USA)

Double-mini trampoline is its own discipline within the sport—shorter apparatus, different skills, separate medals at Worlds. Ruben Padilla has won it twice in a row.

He took gold at the 2022 World Championships and defended it in Birmingham in 2023. Back-to-back world champion in a discipline that most fantasy players couldn’t explain. Padilla also competes in synchro and individual events, giving him multiple paths to scoring.

Based in California and still only 25, he’s got years of competition ahead. His card is one of those quiet picks that could pay off repeatedly.

When Do Trampoline Athletes Score?

The FIG calendar runs year-round. Key events to watch in 2026 include:

  • World Cup Series – Multiple stops across Europe and Asia
  • European Championships – Continental titles that carry weight
  • World Championships – The main event for FIG-sanctioned trampoline

Each of these feeds into Peaxel scoring. Athletes who make finals, hit podiums, or set execution records all generate fantasy value.

The Advantage of Going Early

Honestly, trampoline is the kind of sport where being early matters. Once more players discover that Peaxel covers Olympic disciplines beyond the obvious ones, these athletes won’t stay undervalued.

Right now, you can build a trampoline roster with world champions and multi-medalists without fighting for cards. That’s rare in fantasy sports.

If you’re looking to explore, Peaxel is free to play. Start with one of these three athletes—or browse the full Olympic roster and find your own hidden gems.
