After competing two routines in qualification, the top eight now have one opportunity to wow the crowd and the judges, aiming for a medal. The score breakdown is detailed below. Ivan Litvinovich (AIN) repeats as the Men's Olympic Trampoline Champion!! China's WANG Zisai finishes in second with compatriot YAN Langyu winning the bronze.  There are four components to their scores.

China's ZHU Xueying qualified top to this Women's Trampoline Final over Individual Neutral Athlete Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya and her compatriot HU Yicheng. ZHU Xueying was slightly off direction, which affected her time of flight and did not seem as good a routine as what was in the qualifications. Solid routine from Hikaru Mori, were some form errors. She's happy with that routine. Azhela Bladtceva - solid routine, however, did lose some height towards the end of the routine. Madaline Davidson - some form breaks, but she should be proud of her efforts here. Phenomenal routine from Sophiane Methot! So much emotion from ZHU Xueying and Azhela Bladtceva who are upset with their performances. Another phenomenal routine - this time from Bryony Page!!! Everyone is ecstatic for Bryony but one to go.

And here we go. I still have so many emotions from the Men's Qualifications, and I am sure that today's qualifications for the Women will provide the same.

Beautiful navy and silver leotard for the Great British team with diamantes and patterning on the front and down the side. Gorgeous deep red and red leotards with diamantes for the Mexicans. Black leotard with all the sparkles and Romanian colours down the side and on the shoulders.. Love Caitlin Rooskrantz's leotard! Beautiful white and light blue leotard for Anna Lashchevska.

Appears Caitlin Rooskrantz injured herself on Floor - foot heavily wrapped and iced and leaves on crutches. Oh Jade. My h...

Minor heart attack when today's start list came out and Carlos Edriel Yulo of the Philippines was only listed for Vault. The start list was soon corrected due to an online form being incorrectly submitted by the NF/NOC from the Philippines. Huge sigh of relief.
