My Take

He Wenna earns my full admiration. Rising from inland Longyan in Fujian, she delivered Olympic trampoline gold at Beijing 2008 with a score of 37.80, doing it on home soil under enormous pressure. Trampoline is a sport that looks playful and is in fact terrifying, demanding fearless height, precise rotation and a landing nailed to the centimetre. Backing up that title with team world championships in 2007 and 2009 shows it was no fluke. At just 160 cm she became a giant of a quietly brutal discipline, and I think she deserves far more recognition than she gets.
