Women’s champ from London defends title in Rio
Canada’s Rosie MacLennan did it again, winning her second consecutive Olympic gold medal in women’s trampoline Friday in Rio.
MacLennan’s trampoline victory four years ago in London gave Canada its only gold at those Games.
The King City, Ont., native was Canada’s flag-bearer at last week’s opening ceremony in Rio, and her gold is the second by a Canadian at these Olympics. Swimmer Penny Oleksiak won Canada’s first gold on Thursday night.
