China's trampoline movement started late, and was listed as a formal competition by the State Sports General Administration in 1997. In 2002, the trampoline national team was established. Due to the good foundation of gymnastics, the trampoline has developed very rapidly in China. In 2003, the Chinese team participated in the World Championship for the first time and won the women's team runner-up.
At the 2004 Athens Olympics, Chinese trampoline player Huang Shanzhen won a personal bronze medal. He won the online men's and women's online team championship in the 2005 World Trampoline Championship. However, in the preliminaries of the Olympic Games, she made a major mistake in the optional action and missed the final.
In the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese trampoline movement finally ushered in a bumper harvest. At 21 o'clock on the evening of August 18th, Beijing time, in the final of the Olympic women's trampoline at the National Stadium, the 20-year-old Chinese teenager He Wenna won the gold medal in the Chinese trampoline team at 55.950. At 21 o'clock the next day, Chinese player Lu Chunlong won the gold with 41.00 points, and Dong Dong won the bronze medal with 40.60.
At the 2012 London Olympics, Dong Dong won the men's trampoline championship. Lu Chunlong won the bronze medal.
