It needs a third element to be like the Triple Jump. Maybe they finish with a dive into a pool? Or perhaps Trampoline Judo?
The bounce off the trampoline could lead into a mount on the uneven parallel bars. Or through a flaming ring if you wanted to add a more showy Seaworld dolphins act sort of element.
I think they should land on a horse, then go straight into a steeplechase. Or maybe a dressage routine. That way you can factor in equestrian skills aswell.
I think they should grab a stage sword on the way up, and land fighting.
Legolas could do this. Maybe Batman. Xena. After that you'd run out of candidates.

Gymnasts would be the best candidates at the Olympics to moonlight as jockeys, wouldn't they?

Pfah. An experienced trampolinist with Advanced stage fighting skills should be able to pull it off.

It's a British certification for theatrical combat. I'm not sure if there's an American equivalent.
There is, but from what I've heard the British are far far more hard core about their stage combat. Many and much more stringent requirements to advance in expertise.

The Duncan/Methos swordfights on the Highlander set could get so intense that they'd have to immediately break afterwards to make sure the actors still had all their bits attached.
I once had to swordfight in a college film, but was dissapointed the guy I was swordfighting never even picked up a tenth of what I've picked up watching swordfighting on film. I mean I had no training, but gah! Fought like his arm was jelly and his sword was grotty. Dude, I know my character wins, but the hero doesn't throw the fight.
The sad thing? He was in theater with me, and his ramrod straight posture was perfect for period costumes. What a waste without swordfighting skills.
He was a good friend, though.
