Moskalenko came out of retirement in 1998, when he learned that individual trampoline would become an Olympic discipline in 2000. It became a FIG discipline on 1 January 1999. Moskalenko decided to submit himself to a rigorous training programme to reestablish himself at the top of the ranking list and qualify for the Olympics. At the 1999 World Championships, he won gold in individual and synchro. At the [2000 Summer Olympics](/source/Gymnastics_at_the_2000_Summer_Olympics) in [Sydney](/source/Sydney), Moskalenko became the first Olympic champion in men's trampoline, finishing ahead of Australia's [Ji Wallace](/source/Ji_Wallace). The following year, he won gold in individual and synchro at the 2001 World Championships. He was awarded the silver medal at the 2003 World Championships behind Germany's [Henrik Stehlik](/source/Henrik_Stehlik). Moskalenko suffered from back pain during the whole of 2004. He won the silver medal behind Ukraine's [Yuri Nikitin](/source/Yuri_Nikitin_(gymnast)) at the [2004 Summer Olympics](/source/Gymnastics_at_the_2004_Summer_Olympics) in [Athens](/source/Athens), Greece. He retired on July 30 at the Dobrovolski World Cup in Krasnodar and was presented with a race horse. Almost thirty champions of different sports were present at the ceremony. ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-db-ol-GYM2000_1-0)** ["2000 Summer Olympics – Sydney, Australia – Gymnastics"](http://www.databaseolympics.com/games/gamessport.htm?g=25&sp=GYM) [Archived](https://web.archive.org/web/20080823081053/http://www.databaseolympics.com/games/gamessport.htm?g=25&sp=GYM) 2008-08-23 at the [Wayback Machine](/source/Wayback_Machine) *databaseOlympics.com* (Retrieved on March 29, 2008) ## External links - [Alexander Moskalenko](https://www.gymnastics.sport/site/athletes/bio_detail.php?id=22284) at [World Gymnastics](/source/World_Gymnastics) - [Alexander Moskalenko](https://olympics.com/en/athletes/alexander-moskalenko) at [Olympics.com](/source/International_Olympic_Committee) - [Aleksandr Moskalenko](https://web.archive.org/web/20161204/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/athletes/mo/aleksandr-moskalenko-1.html) at [Olympics at Sports-Reference.com](/source/Sports_Reference#Olympics) (archived) v t e Olympic champions in trampoline – Men 2000: Alexander Moskalenko (RUS) 2004: Yuri Nikitin (UKR) 2008: Lu Chunlong (CHN) 2012: Dong Dong (CHN) 2016: Uladzislau Hancharou (BLR) 2020: Ivan Litvinovich (BLR) 2024: Ivan Litvinovich (AIN) v t e Trampoline Gymnastics World Champions – Men's Individual 1964: Dan Millman (USA) 1965: Gary Erwin (USA) 1966: Wayne Miller (USA) 1967: David Jacobs (USA) 1968: David Jacobs (USA) 1970: Wayne Miller (USA) 1972: Paul Luxon (GBR) 1974: Richard Tison (FRA) 1976: Eugeni Janes (URS) 1978: Eugeni Janes (URS) 1980: Stewart Matthews (GBR) 1982: Carl Furrer (GBR) 1984: Lionel Pioline (FRA) 1986: Lionel Pioline (FRA) 1988: Vadim Krasnochapka (URS) 1990: Alexander Moskalenko (URS) 1992: Alexander Moskalenko (RUS) 1994: Alexander Moskalenko (RUS) 1996: Dmitri Poliaroush (BLR) 1998: German Knytchev (RUS) 1999: Alexander Moskalenko (RUS) 2001: Alexander Moskalenko (RUS) 2003: Henrik Stehlik (GER) 2005: Alexander Rusakov (RUS) 2007: Ye Shuai (CHN) 2009: Dong Dong (CHN) 2010: Dong Dong (CHN) 2011: Lu Chunlong (CHN) 2013: Dong Dong (CHN) 2014: Tu Xiao (CHN) 2015: Gao Lei (CHN) 2017: Gao Lei (CHN) 2018: Gao Lei (CHN) 2019: Gao Lei (CHN) 2021: Yan Langyu (CHN) 2022: Dylan Schmidt (AUS) 2023: Yan Langyu (CHN) This biographical article relating to trampolining in Russia is a stub.
