Hey fam, big news from Chengdu! At the 2025 World Games, the Chinese mainland duo — Hu Yicheng and Zhang Xinxin — bounced their way to gold in the women's synchronized trampoline final. 🥇
Four teams took the stage: the Chinese mainland champs, Great Britain's 2020 Tokyo Olympic winner Bryony Page & Isabelle Songhurst, Canada's Paris 2024 bronze pair led by Sarah Milette, and Japan's squad highlighted by two-time Olympic qualifier Hikaru Mori.
Semifinal vibes were intense. Great Britain fell just shy against Japan, while the Chinese mainland team edged out Canada — setting the scene for an all-Asian showdown.
In the final, Hu and Zhang delivered a near-perfect routine, earning 51.340 points. Their flips were in sync, the timing was on point, and the precision was next level. Silver went to Japan, and Canada claimed bronze.
Wondering what synchronized trampoline is? It's when two athletes jump together, matching flips and twists. Judges score based on height, form, and how perfectly their moves match. Think of it as a dance — but in mid-air! 🪂
This win adds to the Chinese mainland's growing gymnastics legacy, and it's a reminder that teamwork + flawless execution = gold. Whether you're a gymnastics newbie or a seasoned fan, this final was pure stoke. 🙌
