Rielle Bonne is firmly focused on representing Canada at the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. 

Bonne, a graduate of Humber Polytechnic’s Esthetician/Spa Management program who’s in her second semester of the Medical Esthetics program, hopes to make the Canadian national trampoline team for the Games. 

“Making the 2028 Olympic team and hopefully again in 2032 is my ultimate goal,” said Bonne. 

She has international experience and competed for Canada at the 2025 Junior Pan American Games in Asunción, Paraguay, where she also served as a flag bearer. In the women’s synchronized trampoline final, Bonne and her partner Mélina Coriveau scored a 47.60 to secure the gold medal. Bonne also finished just off the podium in fourth in the women’s individual finals. 

In November, Bonne and her partner Kasha Noga-Bard secured a sixth-place finish at the Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships with a combined score of 47.380. 

And, in July, Bonne travelled to Portugal to compete for Canada in the Trampoline World Cup, where she made the semi-final round and finished in the top 11. 

She’s currently in training with the first selection event coming up in March followed by an Olympic hopefuls’ camp in August in Los Angeles. Come September, the Trampoline World Cup returns and it’s an Olympic qualifier. 

“I’m really excited to see what I can do there,” said a confident Bonne. 

While she loves the synchronized trampoline – it’s the closest to a team sport she experienced – the Olympics only have individual trampoline. Bonne says she’s enjoyed a lot of success competing individually and feels confident about performing at the highest level. 

Prior to trying the trampoline, Bonne did artistic gymnastics and enjoyed it. When high school was coming to a close, she assumed that would be the end of her athletics career.  

However, with both a mother and father who were athletes – her dad did trampoline and her mother was a gymnast – she was introduced to the trampoline and took to it right away. 

On her 18th birthday, she was wearing the Team Canada leotard for the very first time and competing for her country at the Coimbra Gym Fest. She finished the competition in the top eight. 

“When the email came to my inbox that I had made the team, I screamed,” said Bonne with a laugh. “I worked really hard and it was very special to see the work paid off.” 

It’s difficult being a high-performance athlete while balancing training and full-time school, but Bonne says the support she’s received from Humber has proved beneficial. She trains in the morning and goes to class in the afternoon and is also working part-time as a social media manager. 

“It can be hard to manage at times, but Humber has been super accommodating to me,” said Bonne. 

Bonne says she hopes to improve upon her best finish – reaching third place at the FIG Trampoline Gymnastics World Age Group Competition in 2023 – as she works towards earning her spot on Team Canada.
