Bryony Page won the trampoline world title on the final day of the 2021 Trampoline, Tumbling and DMT World Championships in Baku.

The Nantwich athlete capped an impressive year which had already seen her add a bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics to the silver she won in Rio.

Page said:

"I'm overwhelmed. It hasn't really sunk in. I'm just happy to have got out there, completed a routine and added in my new skill to the end. That felt really nice.

"I improved my scores from the other day and competed a routine close to what I think my potential is, so I'm really happy with that.

"I wasn't sure if it was going to be good enough for a medal, let alone the top place on the podium, so it's really special. Standing on top of the podium with the national anthem playing was such a special moment."

Page had qualified for the final in third place, but upgraded her routine for the final, choosing the routine with the highest difficulty out of all eight athletes to compete in the final.
