Jason Nicholas Burnett (born December 16, 1986 in Toronto) is a Canadian trampoline gymnast from Etobicoke, Ontario. He is noted for having completed, in training, the world's most difficult trampoline routine with a degree of difficulty of 18.5. He has placed first in the Canadian National Championships three times in individual trampoline. In the 2008 Olympic Games he won a silver medal.

Career

On April 2, 2007, at the Lake Placid Trampoline World Cup he completed a routine with a degree of difficulty (DD or tariff) of 17.50 becoming the new FIG recognised World record holder [http://www.acrobaticsports.com/detail.do?noArticle=2206&id_key=0] . He finished in 2nd place in the competition. The following week in Quebec City, he completed a synchronised trampoline routine with his partner, Philip Barbaro, which had a world record DD of 16.0. However as their marks for synchronisation and execution were very low, they only came in 7th place in the competition [http://www.acrobaticsports.com/detail.do?noArticle=2225&id_key=0] .

He won the 2008 Canadian Senior Men's Trampoline Championship in Calgary for the third time.

He currently trains at Skyriders Trampoline Place in Richmond Hill alongside Karen Cockburn and Rosannagh MacLennan with trainer Dave Ross.

In the preliminary round of the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Burnett finished in seventh place and qualified for the finals of the trampoline event after a very strong optional routine. In the finals, he won the silver medal in the event with the most difficult routine of the competition.
