Extractions: AP SYDNEY, Australia (CNNSI.com) World champion Irina Karavaeva of Russia easily won the gold medal in the inaugural Olympic women's trampoline on Friday, soaring as high as 25 feet in the air.

I'm actually afraid of heights, which is really funny,'' Cockburn said. ``But it's a different feeling on the trampoline.'' Karavaeva, 25, has been winning world championships since 1994. She won the individual event at the World Cup in Vienna this year, when she also finished second in the synchronized event.
Extractions: SYDNEY, Sept 22 (AFP) - In the land of the high-hopping kangaroo, trampoline leaped its way into the Olympics here Friday and people seemed to flip over it, especially those still young enough to enjoy bouncing on bedsprings. Sydney SuperDome was nearly filled for trampoline's Olympic debut, and not merely with the curious. Some clod tried to start an "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie" cheer as Aussie Robyn Forbes bounced and was shushed from all across the arena.

Newcomers to the Olympic sporting family sure made a lot of noise at Sydney. Synchronized diving, trampoline, taekwondo and triathlon joined the ever-expanding circle of Olympic events at the Games of the 27th Olympiad, which concluded here Sunday, and each was a well-received debutant. Divers enjoyed having some company in the spotlight atop the 10m platform and 3m springboard, performing their flips and twists in side-by-side routines. "I'm very happy synchronized diving was introduced," said Russian diving star Dmitry Sautin. "It's very handsome and very pleasant to look at." Sautin and partner Igor Lukashin captured men's platform gold. Sautin also took silver in the springboard duet event plus a silver and a bronze in the traditional solo events. The four new diving events helped increase China's haul to a unprecedented five golds from the diving well and gave a chance for solo competitors to work together for the first time as duos in quest of gold.
