Steven Gluckstein

Steven Gluckstein (born June 24, 1990) is a former American 2012 Olympian in gymnastic trampoline. He is a six-time National Men's US Trampoline Champion, five-time National US Men's Synchronized Trampoline Champion, and a six-time World Team member. In 2009, he and his partner Logan Dooley were the first gymnastic trampolinists in Team USA history to win a gold medal at a World Cup Series event. He also regularly works with his wife, Camilla Lopes Gomes, a top-ranked Brazilian trampolinist. He attended Henry Hudson Regional High School. He has a sister Amanda, and a brother Jeffrey who is currently an international competitive trampolinist also representing the USA. The Gluckstein brothers have created a dynasty in competitive US trampoline. Between both kin they have won every National Men's Trampoline Championship between 2009 and present.

In June 2016, just days before competing in the US National Championships which assisted in deciding the one man who would represent Team USA at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games, Gluckstein married fellow trampolinist, Brazilian Camilla Lopes. They first met in Denmark in 2011 but later, after Lopes came to the US initially for a few months to train, they became romantically involved. The two currently live together in Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey. They also trained together at Gluckstein's long-time gym, Elite Trampoline Academy. Unfortunately, shortly after reaching his new rank his school closed. Gluckstein explains how he transitioned to trampoline: "Thanks to the sport (taekwando) I was strong, flexible, fast, and disciplined. I was set up perfectly for my next sport. However, little did I know what my next sport would be. 'A jockey, a cheerleader, or a gymnast' were the options my mother gave. She made this decision because the tallest person in my ancestry up to my great grandparents was 5'11" and in my immediate family is 5'8". I was the smallest kid in my school class."

Trampoline and Tumbling World Cup

At the 2009 Trampoline World Cup in Belgium, Gluckstein and his partner, Logan Dooley, earned the first US Gold Medal in Gymnastic Trampoline at a FIG World Cup event by winning the Synchronized Men's Trampoline title. In 2010, the pair followed up that first with another for Team USA; Overall FIG Trampoline Gymnastics World Cup Series Champions - Men's Synchronized.
