Canada's Gavin Dodd leaps onto the podium at trampoline world championships
CBC
Canada's Gavin Dodd soared to silver at the trampoline world championships on Friday in Sofia, Bulgaria.
Competing in the four-man double mini trampoline final, the Kamloops, B.C., native scored 29.2 points to land second on the podium, behind American gold medallist Ruben Padilla (30.2) and slightly ahead of bronze-medal winner Tomas Minc (29.1), also from the U.S.
Dodd, 19, stuck a routine that included a triffus – which is a triple somersault with a half twist in the air – leading into a half triffus.
It marks the first major medal of Dodd's career. He was the Canadian national champion in 2021, but did not compete at worlds as Canada chose not to send a team to Azerbaijan.
