ATHENS (CP) -- Toronto's Karen Cockburn won an Olympic silver medal in trampoline Friday.

Cockburn's freestyle routine had the highest degree of difficulty in the competition. She achieved great height during her routine while staying within the trampoline's centre box target area, a key to high scoring, to put up a score of 39.20.

Cockburn, ranked first in the world and a bronze medallist four years ago in Sydney when the sport made its Olympic debut, then sat and watched the remaining four competitors try to beat her.

The only one who could was Germany's Anna Dogonadze, who scored a 39.6 during her routine.

China's Huang Shanshan took the bronze.

Heather Ross-MacManus of Almonte, Ont., had two spots during her routine where she drifted off the target area but was otherwise solid. She scored 37.340 and sat second early but was eventually bumped down to sixth.
