Bryony Page, à historic gold medal for Great Britain

Bryony Page has made history by winning Great Britain’s first Olympic gold medal in trampoline, completing her set of Olympic medals.

At 33, after securing silver in Rio 2016 and bronze in Tokyo 2020, Bryony Page reached the pinnacle in Paris with a score of 56,480 points. A two-time world individual champion, Bryony Page was overwhelmed with emotion at the Bercy Arena when she realized she had outscored Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya, who took silver, and Canadian Sophiane Methot, who won bronze. She admitted to briefly forgetting that one gymnast was still to compete, but her victory was confirmed when China’s Hu Yicheng faltered early in her routine.

Overcoming obstacles

Page overcame an ankle injury and a neck strain during training to achieve this victory. She captivated the audience with a high-difficulty routine, performed with style and precision, staying close to the center of the trampoline throughout.

An olympic dream realized

“It feels amazing,” Bryony Page said about completing her set of Olympic medals. She expressed her gratitude and relief after a long period of preparation and physical challenges. Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya’s silver marked the first medal at the Paris Games for a member of the Athletes’ Individual Neutral team, established for Russian and Belarusian athletes following their countries’ bans due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

A promising future

Page, who dreams of joining the circus after her sports career, has once again demonstrated her talent and determination, leaving an indelible mark on the history of Olympic trampoline.
