when will Karen Cockburn retire?

That’s what many of the best trampolinist of the world have been wondering. For YEARS.

Karen Cockburn (born October 2, 1980) is a Canadian trampoline gymnast.

… the only trampoline athlete to have won a medal at every Olympic Games. She was selected as Canada’s flag bearer for the closing ceremonies of the Beijing 2008 Olympics. …

She must be slowing down. Right?

Three-time Olympic medal winner Karen Cockburn of Toronto, showing no signs of slowing down, topped the field in the women’s trampoline competition at Elite Canada on Sunday while Charles Thibault of Quebec City pulled off an upset victory in the men’s competition.

Cockburn won convincingly in the women’s final with a score of 54.240, with Rosannagh MacLennan in second with 49.895 points and Samantha Sendel third at 47.805. …

Karen has an autobiography coming out soon. Yet the last chapters are not yet writ.

I’d love to see her in London, challenging for a 4th medal.

How were they scoring in finals? It looks like two routines were added together (set + vol), but they are pretty low scores if that is the case. Missed routines?

Anyone care to shed some light?

they were using just the final routine but time of flight is in use now, adding another 10-15ish points
