Ottawa, ON (September 22, 2025) – Team Canada delivered standout performances at the FIG Trampoline World Cup held September 20–21 in Cottbus, Germany, securing both gold and bronze medals in synchro events.
Women’s Synchro Gold
The Canadian duo of Sophiane Méthot and Sarah Milette shined in the women’s synchro final, capturing gold with a score of 49.14. Their clean, dynamic routine placed them ahead of pairs from the Czech Republic and AIN (Authorized Neutral Athletes, formerly competing under Russia). This marks the pair’s first-ever World Cup gold medal together, a milestone achievement in their partnership.
In the women’s individual final, Méthot narrowly missed the podium, finishing 4th with 55.75, while Milette placed 6th with 54.37, both showcasing strong routines against a highly competitive field.
Mixed Synchro Bronze
In the mixed synchro final, Kasha Noga-Bard and Étienne Cloutier claimed bronze with a score of 48.08, finishing behind Azerbaijan (gold) and the Netherlands (silver). The result highlights the depth of Canada’s trampoline program, with strong performances across multiple categories.
Men’s Competition Highlights
The men’s synchro pairing of Alexander Don and Gavin Dodd faced challenges, as an early fall prevented them from completing their routine, placing them 8th.
Gavin Dodd competed in the men’s individual final, finishing 8th, a personal best. A highly respected athlete in double-mini trampoline, Dodd is now beginning to see success on the trampoline stage as well.
Looking Ahead
Canada’s athletes demonstrated resilience, growth, and world-class talent throughout the competition, signaling a promising season ahead. This strong showing in Cottbus provides valuable experience and momentum as Team Canada prepares for the 2026 World Championships in Pamplona, Spain, taking place November 6–9.
