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. Each routine is made up of 10 skills, all of which count for the difficulty score.  There is also an execution score, with athletes starting at 20.0 and deductions taken for errors and flaws in form. The highest and lowest scores from the five execution judges are dropped, and the remaining three are added together for the final execution score.

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. HU Yicheng - She's lost it and cannot complete her series. Bryony Page of Great Britain wins the gold medal over Individual Neutral Athlete Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya with Canadian Sop
