Alvin Medailleu won the junior title with 51.50 at the 2026 FTA World Championships in Porto. Read the supplied results and what families can ask next.
Sweden’s Alvin Medailleu won the junior division with 51.50 at the 2026 Freestyle Trampoline World Championships in Porto, Portugal. The Freestyle Trampoline Association’s results release identifies that as the highest score across the championship finals.
The junior division covered ages 13–15. Its winning score exceeded the senior men’s winning score of 49.88, although the athletes competed for separate division titles. This was an FTA freestyle competition, not an Olympic trampoline championship.
This editorial report draws on the FTA’s press release dated 23 August 2026, supplied by co-founder Greg Roe with permission to use and adapt it. Results and organisational claims are attributed to the FTA; Youth Listings did not attend the event.
The Junior Podium
| Place | Athlete | Country | Final Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alvin Medailleu | Sweden | 51.50 |
| 2 | Yanick Krienbuehl | Switzerland | 49.72 |
| 3 | Gianluca Zbinden | Switzerland | 42.14 |
The organiser’s release puts Medailleu 1.78 points ahead of the runner-up. These are the published final scores, not a reconstruction of individual difficulty, creativity or execution marks.
The Other Division Winners
Siard Span of the Netherlands won the senior men’s division, for ages 16 and over, with 49.88. The women’s division, listed as ages 13 and over, was won by Germany’s Viktoria Derschiewzki with 45.66. The release says she successfully defended her title.

The FTA’s championship page provides its event recap and podium photographs. The organiser also links the championship coverage through its broadcast page.
From Online Clips to Organised Events
Roe’s account of the sport begins with young athletes sharing trampoline videos and building an online community. The FTA describes its role as turning that activity into organised events, competition and education for athletes, coaches and clubs.
The Porto release describes a judging panel with separate responsibilities for difficulty, creativity and execution. It also names a mat crew and refers to medical and safety personnel. Those details show the organised setting behind the performance clips; they do not establish the conditions at a particular local programme.
Questions for a Family Considering a Programme
A championship highlight is a reason to be curious. It is not a class description. Before registering, ask the local provider who teaches beginners, how it groups participants by experience, what supervision it provides and what the first sessions actually involve.
Ask separately about registration, coaching, equipment and travel costs. A world championship does not establish what a local introductory session costs, or whether a child needs to enter competitions at all.
Our guide to reading a youth sports programme before you register gives families a way to compare those answers. The useful next story is the first step: how an athlete found suitable coaching and moved from interest to a supervised session.
