LONDON, England -- Toronto’s Jason Burnett nailed down a berth for Canada at the 2012 Olympics in men’s trampoline at the sport’s final qualification meet on Friday at London’s O2 Arena.

Burnett, silver medalist at the Beijing Olympics, placed fourth in a field of 16 competitors to claim one of eight spots still up for grabs following the world championships in November.

Dong Dong and Chunlong Lu of China finished 1-2 and Masaki Ito of Japan was third.

All three had previously qualified their countries for the Games, making Burnett the top competitor among those battling for the final spots.

Keegan Soehn of Red Deer, Alta., placed 13th.

At the Olympics the world’s top 16 competitors in both men’s and women’s events, with a maximum of two per country, will vy for the medals.

“Qualifying meets like this are way more nerve wracking than the Olympics,” said Burnett, who was hampered by a foot injury that held him back from going all out at the world championships which also doubled as the first qualifier.

“Once you get to the Olympics it’s time to have fun, but with the qualification meets there’s still another step to go.”

Burnett, who holds the world record for difficulty, toned down his optional routine considerably, not wanting to take any unnecessary risks.

“I just needed safe routines, something I knew I could complete with good form and good height.”

In the women’s competition Rosannagh MacLennan of Toronto won the gold medal without the extra pressure of fighting for an Olympic berth.

“My goal was to fully experience the venue and also to try a new routine with higher difficulty,” said MacLennan, who earned one of two spots for Canada in the women’s Olympic competition two months ago in Birmingham, England.

Teammate Karen Cockburn, also of Toronto, earned the other Olympic berth at the worlds and did not compete at the test event.

MacLennan scored 54.520 points for the victory in front of close to 20,000 spectators at the O2 and also debuted her new optional routine.

“I managed to get through it and it felt pretty strong, a little low but I think that’s something I can definitely work on,” added MacLennan, whose difficulty score of 15.400 was a full point higher than any other finalist.

Andrea Lenders of the Netherlands placed second with 54.045 points and Ana Rente of Portugal was third at 54.035.

Olympic champion He Wenna of China faltered in the final and wound up 7th.

Following the trampoline event, Victoria Moors of Cambridge, Ont., won the silver medal in the women’s floor final in gymnastics.

Vanessa Ferrari of Italy won the gold and Daiane dos Santos of Brazil took the bronze.

“This was the biggest competition I’ve ever competed at,” said Moors, 15, who helped Canada qualify a full team for the Olympics in women’s gymnastics earlier in the week. “It was incredible with so many people and so much noise.”

In other event finals, Madeline Gardiner of Cambridge, Ont., was fourth on beam and Ken Ikeda was eighth on parallel bars.
