Beijing In the women's trampoline final of the Beijing Olympic Games on August 18, 2008, He Wenna, who showed up last in the final, won the gold medal with a score of 37.8, the first Olympic trampoline gold medal for China.

Canada's Karen Cockburn won the silver again with a score of 37 after Athens Olympic Games, and Uzbekistan's Ekaterina Khilko won the bronze. Huang Shanshan, the bronze medalist in the Athens Olympic, and was believed to be a better gold winner, failed to make the final due to major mistake in qualifying.
