China's He Wenna added to her country's impressive medal tally with a gold in women's trampoline. Only fourth at the 2007 Worlds, He moved up to gold with the second-highest difficulty score (14.5) and solid execution marks across the board.

2000 Olympic Champion and my gold-medal pick Irina Karavaeva of Russia went for broke with the highest difficulty of the meet (14.7), but lost control on her final move, a triple-twisting double layout, and ended up fifth.

American qualifier Erin Blanchard placed 13th in qualifying, missing the top eight ranking necessary to make finals.

Final Results:
1. He Wenna, China 37.80
2. Karen Cockburn, Canada 37.00
3. Yekaterina Khilko, Uzbekistan 36.90
