BEIJING — China's He Wenna has won the gold medal in women's trampoline, wowing the home crowd with her flips and twists.

He went last after leading the qualifying round, and the sound of cameras clicking could be heard with each bounce. When her score of 37.80 came up, the flag-waving fans erupted into a frenzy of cheers.

Karen Cockburn of Canada scored a 37.00 to get her second silver after also finishing second place in Athens.

Ekaterina Khilko of Uzbekistan got the bronze with a 36.90.

Germany's Anna Dogonadze, who won gold in Athens, finished last with a score of 18.90 after falling during her routine.
