Great Britain’s Bryony Page completed her set of Olympic medals with gold in the women’s trampoline.

The 33-year-old won a surprise silver medal in Rio eight years ago and then bronze in Tokyo but went into this competition as the reigning world champion and gold medal favourite.

Page was the penultimate gymnast to compete in the final at Bercy Arena and she cried and leapt with joy after her score of 56.480 was confirmed.

Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya from Belarus became the first neutral athlete to win a medal at the Games, taking silver, while Canada’s Sophiane Methot claimed bronze.

Page, who also won the world title in 2021, qualified for the final with the fifth highest score but watched those competing ahead of her largely fail to surpass their qualifying marks.

Page, 33, put in a simply stunning display in the final on Friday afternoon as she scored 56.480

The Sheffield-based athlete, meanwhile, increased her score by close to a full mark from 55.620 and then saw the final competitor, China’s Hu Yicheng, fall during her routine.

That ensured Page would win Britain’s latest gold medal, to the delight of the hordes of flag-waving fans packed into the arena, capping a brilliant display from the 33-year-old.

Page’s triumph adds to her four World Championship golds in 2013, 2021, 2022 and 2023.

It also comes with the 33-year-old set to quit trampolining after the games to pursue her dream of joining the acrobats at Cirque du Soleil.

The 33-year-old could barely believe what had happened when the result was confirmed

She secured the first Olympic trampoline medal in Britain’s history back in 2016 when she won silver, and now eight years later, has written herself into folklore.

After the result was confirmed, Page could barely believe what she had achieved as she cried and leapt with joy alongside her coaches.

She then beamed as she picked up her gold medal, while she was giddy as the national anthem was played inside the Bercy Arena.
