Karen Cockburn and Rosannagh MacLennan, both of Toronto, turned the tables on China’s world champions on Friday to win gold in women’s synchro trampoline at the 2010 Canada Cup.

At last year’s world championships in St. Petersburg, Russia, Li Dan and Zhong Xingping edged the Canadian duo for top spot in the event but this time around it was a different story.
