PAMPLONA, Spain (November 9, 2025) – Ruben Padilla (Bluffdale, Utah/Wasatch Trampoline & Tumbling) on Sunday became the first U.S. men’s individual trampoline World Championships medalist in 51 years, claiming silver to conclude the 2025 FIG Trampoline World Championships.

Padilla secured silver in the men’s trampoline final with a 61.950 Sunday to become the first U.S. man to do so since Stormy Eaton at the 1974 championships. He stood on the podium behind Zisai Wang of China in first (63.470) and ahead of Japan’s Hayato Miyano in third (61.350).

Making his name by throwing the highest difficulty scores ever seen in double mini, Padilla has now put himself among the world elite in individual trampoline. The performance concluded an epic year for the 24-year-old Padilla, who in Pamplona won his third straight World double mini title and who earlier in the year topped World Cup podiums on the apparatus in Riccione, Italy, and Coimbra, Portugal. He is now a seven-time World champion and 16-time medalist, an eight-time U.S. champion and a 10-time World Cup medalist.

Combined with his gold medals in individual and men’s team double mini, Padilla accounted for three of the six American medals won in Pamplona. Full medal table below.
