Page bounces back in style to claim trampolining gold

Bryony Page has battled through the yips, multiple serious injuries and a double near-miss on her mission to scale her personal Everest. And all those ups and downs were made worthwhile inside the Arena Bercy as she completed her Olympic set in style.

The 33-year-old, who won silver on debut in Rio and bronze in Tokyo, produced a dazzling display and sunk to her knees when it was revealed her routine had taken her to the summit. Only China’s Hu Yicheng was left to compete – not that Page was aware. “I thought I’d won,” she said. “I forgot there was another person to go.”

As it turned out, the emotion was not premature. Hu stumbled during her routine and Page’s celebrations could truly begin.

“I hadn’t been watching the competition, I could just hear the crowd and the scores,” she said. “I was aware of the scores and what I needed to get but I had to focus on myself and the routine I wanted. I’ve still got more that I want to do but my Olympic career feels complete.”
