Men's Final
Defending champ Ivan Litvinovich of Belarus, who competed in Paris as an Individual Neutral Athlete (AIN), defended his all-around title from Tokyo, becoming the only male trampolinist in history to win two Olympic gold medals.
China rounded out the medal podium with Wang Zisai finishing second with the highest execution score of the field and Yan Langyu, who claimed gold at two of the last three world championships, finishing third.
The American Aliaksei Shostak was targeting a trip to the final after missing out during the Tokyo Games. However, in qualifications he was already outside of the top 10 following his first routine and needed to hit his second routine out of the park in order to advance. Shostak fell and was unable to finish, resulting in another finals miss.
Medalists

Women's Final
After winning silver at the Rio 2016 Games and a bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Games, Great Britain’s Bryony Page, at the age of 33, completed her medal set with the gold in Paris.
The 19-year-old Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya of Belarus, who is competing as an Individual Neutral Athlete (AIN), had a superb competition to clinch her first Olympic medal, the silver.
Canada’s Sophiane Methot rebounded remarkably after securing the eighth and final spot in qualifications to finish third in the final. Since trampoline was introduced in 2000, Canada has had a woman earn a medal in the discipline at every Olympic Games except for 2020 Tokyo.
Defending champion Zhu Xueying showed a clean routine, but was a little off center in her final routine. Her 55.510 in the final was 1.21 points behind what she scored in qualifying, resulting in a fourth place finish.
With her teammate Hu Yicheng falling in the final, Paris marks the first podium without a Chinese trampolinist since 2000.
American Jessica Stevens, who made history at the 2023 World Championships by becoming the first American to win an individual medal since 1974, finished 13th after qualifying and did not advance to the final.
