Bryony Page won Team GB's first trampoline gold at the Paris Games

  • Published

The family of Olympic trampoline gymnast Bryony Page says her performance at the Paris Games was unbelievable.

The 33-year-old from near to Nantwich won Great Britain's first trampoline Olympic gold to complete her set of a medal of every colour.

"I screamed a lot, whooping with absolute pure joy, it means so much to her," said mum Sarah Page.

Dad Stephen said it was the pinnacle of his daughter's career, and she was a "true professional who knows what needs to be done in the most difficult of circumstances."

Page took silver at Rio 2016 for GB's first Olympic trampoline medal, followed up with bronze at Tokyo 2020 before securing the ultimate prize in Paris with 56.48 points.

Her boyfriend Jake Rainbow said he felt "overwhelmed with joy" and wanted to know where they were going to find space in their house for all the medals.

Mum Sarah said she told her daughter before the games "step on the trampoline, and you are a three-time Olympian.. that's all we wanted.. and she went and got gold!"

It was going to take time for that to sink in, she said.

"After Rio, my husband and I, for months afterwards, just kept pinching ourselves - our daughter's won an Olympic medal.

"This time, it's going to be, 'she's got a full set'!"
