Defending Olympic champion Anna Dogonadze, from Germany, felt on the mat in the middle of her routine and only scored 18.9 points, finishing last among the 8 finals.

"I had thought of running in a big circle to celebrate, but I decided it's more meaningful to jump onto the trampoline net to cheer," said an all-smile He. She jumped onto the net, waving China's national flag to the stands.

He said her teammate Huang encouraged her last night. "She (Huang) told me to go for the gold medal," she said.
