Olympic trampoline champion Rosannagh MacLennan breaks her ankle

May 6, 2019 | 11:31 AM

Two-time Olympic trampoline champion Rosannagh MacLennan is recovering from a broken ankle she suffered recently at a World Cup in Belarus.

MacLennan told The Canadian Press she landed awkwardly on the side of the trampoline during the competition and fractured her left ankle late last month.

MacLennan won Olympic gold in both 2012 and 2016.

The 30-year-old from King City, Ont., says she and her medical team have a plan in place to get her back competing by September.

MacLennan will attempt to win a third straight Olympic gold next year in Tokyo.
