In the men's final of the Tokyo Olympic Trampoline that ended this afternoon, Gao Lei, a player from Shanghai, made a mistake in the second round of the qualifying round and only ranked 14th and did not qualify for the final. The Chinese men's trampoline team also regretted that it could not replicate the glory moment when the women's trampoline won the gold and silver medals.
Gao Lei had some damage to his waist before the Tokyo Olympic Games, and in the qualifying set of actions, Gao Lei played smoothly to get 52.245, and temporarily ranked 5th after the first round, only behind teammate Dong Dong. Then the second round of self-selected actions, Gao Lei was the last to appear, the third flip action flipped out of the mat to score 62.820 points, the qualifier ranked 14th, failed to enter the final.

Trampoline sports not only test the athlete's skills, but also the equipment is also an uncertain factor that gives athletes a headache. Each trampoline pull is different, plus after many people go up, the elasticity will also change, so it is necessary to constantly adapt every day to test the athlete's ability to adapt. In Gao Lei's own words, "The serendipity is particularly large, and I am very happy to be able to successfully complete my own actions."
This is Gao Lei's second participation in the Olympic Games, rio Olympic Games final, with the highest height score and difficulty score in the whole field, Gao Lei, who was still a "young player" at the time, won the bronze medal. Earlier, Gao Lei mentioned that his biggest regret is that he has not yet won the gold medal in the Olympic Games. After winning the bronze medal at the Rio Olympics, Gao Lei has been adjusting his form. After the competition experience mentality and technology are more mature, in the Tokyo Olympic preparation cycle, helped the Shanghai trampoline team to win the 17-year National Games championship, which is also the first Shanghai trampoline team since the establishment of the team in 1999.
