Listen to Tamara Baluja's report.

 

21 year old Jason Burnett picked up a silver medal today for men's trampoline. The three-time Canadian champion trains at the Skyriders Trampoline Club in Richmond Hill.

Helen Saari, Program co-coordinator at Skyriders said, "We are just brimming with pride. He deserved to win".

Saari says she hopes Burnett's victory will inspire other Canadian males to take up trampoline. "There are a lot of girls who are exposed to trampoline through gymnastics, but there are not enough males in the sport, so hopefully all that is going to change", said Saari.

Burnett's silver comes a day after Karen Cockburn, who also trains at the same club, won her own silver medal in the women's trampoline final.
