As a result of the war in Ukraine, this category was created in which their medals do not count towards the general list and their athletes do not participate in the opening ceremonies. In addition, they have to show their rejection of the invasion of Ukraine and that they have no ties to the Russian army.

In the women's event, gold was won by Great Britain's Bryony Page with 56,480 points. Silver went to 18-year-old Viyaleta Bardzilouskaya, who competed with the so-called neutrals, the category created for Russian and Belarusian athletes, and scored 56,060 points. Hers was the first medal in Paris for the neutrals. The women's bronze went to Canada's Sophiane Methot who scored 56,060 points. Anzhela Bladtcheva, a Russian trampolinist also competing as a neutral, was fifth.

Bryony Page, a two-time Olympic medallist, completed her Olympic medal haul by taking gold in the final, becoming the only female trampoline gymnast in history to accumulate a full Olympic medal haul in the process. She won Canada's sixth Olympic medal in women's trampoline, the first since Rosannagh MacLennan (CAN) in 2016. 

Page took up the sport at the age of nine at the Wingate Centre in Wrenbury, England. Her parents had noticed how much she loved the trampoline in the garden of their home in Wrenbury, near Nantwich in Cheshire. When she was younger, her parents introduced her to many sports, including tennis, dance, ballet and football, but her favourite was gymnastics, for which she had an innate ability. 

China's Zhu Xueying (CHN), who made it through the early rounds to qualify for the final in first place, made a small mistake that affected her difficulty in the final. Even the highest performance score of the day could not keep the Tokyo 2020 Olympic champion in the top three, and she finished 0.14 off the podium.

On the men's side, gold went to defending champion Ivan Litvinovich of Belarus, who competed with the neutrals and scored 63,090 points. Instead of the Belarusian anthem, a generic tune without lyrics commissioned by the International Olympic Committee was played.  "Our anthem is better and I hope we will be able to participate in competitions listening to it," Lirvinovich told reporters, avoiding answering questions about his support for his country.

The next two positions went to China, who won beach and bronze: Zisai Wang, who could not always be in the average, scored 61,890 and Langyu Lan, the world number one - even ahead of the reigning Olympic champion -, who scored 60,950 points.

Next up were Great Britain's Zach Perzamanos, with 59.840, Portugal's Gabriel Alburquerque, who scored 59.740, and France's Pierre Gouzou, much applauded by the crowd, who stood out with a great final that earned him 58.940. Ángel Hernández, Colombian and triple Pan American champion, had 53.150 after a problem in the final part of the routines. New Zealand's Dylan Smith, seventh in Rio and third in Tokyo, went off on the springboard and finished with only 19.500.

The neutrals

Following the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russian and Belarusian athletes were banned from world sport. To be invited to the Games, "neutral individual athletes" who performed well enough to qualify had to pass a double check.

Only 15 Russians and 17 Belarusians accepted the invitation to compete under the neutral flag. Global Rights Compliance, a human rights foundation based in The Hague, has charged that 10 of the 15 Russians at the Games violated "the principles of participation" of neutral athletes.
