China takes top two spots in women's competition
Two-time Olympic champion Rosannagh MaClennan was favored to defend her titles from London and Rio, but Chinese gymnast Zhu Xueying ended MaClennan’s reign with a score of 56.635.
Liu Lingling finished a few tenths behind her teammate to claim the silver, marking the second time China has had two gymnasts make the podium in the event. Tokyo was also the fifth straight Olympics in which the nation won a medal in women’s trampoline.
British gymnast Byrony Page captured her second career Olympic medal when she scored a 55.735 to place third, adding a bronze to the silver she won in Rio. Her score was .275 higher than MaClennan’s, who finished fourth.
Nicole Ahsinger was the only gymnast representing Team USA in the women’s trampoline competition, and she made history by placing sixth. That ties 2012 Olympian Savannah Vinsant as the best finish by an American trampoline gymnast.
