Canada's Karen Cockburn won the silver and Uzbekistan's Ekaterina Khilko the bronze.

Russian Irina Karavaeva, who won the inaugural trampolining event at Sydney in 2000 and is the reigning world champion, also stumbled on her last movement, tripping backward before regaining her balance.

In the men's event 19-year-old Lu, the 2007 world champion, scored 41.00 to take gold, with Jason Burnett of Canada claiming silver and China's Dong Dong the bronze.
