Individual Bronze for Cockburn

Karen Cockburn managed to bring home bronze medal in the women's individual trampoline competition at the World Trampoline Championships in St Petersburg.

A pretty good result as she said she didn't really train much this year.

"I didn't train or compete much all year so I wasn't expecting such a great result,"

said Cockburn, who performed a slightly easier routine than the one she used in Beijing.

Well done Karen!For more information on Springfree Trampolines, endorsed by Karen click here.

Cockburn Helps Canada to Bronze

I reported yesterday that Karen Cockburn had helped the Canadian womens trampoline team reach the finals of the World Trampoline Championships. The good news is that they achieved a bronze medal in the team competition. A great result!

The Individual competition will continue through the weekend where Karen will hope to add to the bronze.

I mentioned in an earlier post that Springfree Trampolines are proud sponsors of 3 times Olympic medalist Karen Cockburn and it looks like she is going well at the 2009 World Trampolines Championships in St Petersburg, Russia.

Karen not only qualified for the womens individual final but also led the Canadian women in to the team final.

“It feels great to get back into international competition this way,” Cockburn said after placing fourth in the qualifications.

“I got a great score on my compulsory routine and although my optional didn’t go exactly as planned, I came out with a decent score.”

Cockburn, who last competed internationally at the World Games in July, is making her eighth appearance at the biennial world championships.

Good luck from the team at Rainbow in the finals Karen!
