That's our task.

So I'm going with them.

Sasha, it's too risky.

You've never lost.

I'm ready.

I'm going.

Sveta!

Hello!

- What are you doing here?

I'm at the training camp here.

Just came to see you to the Olympics.

- How are Mum and Dad?

- Nervous. Call them more often.

- Are they okay?

- Yes!

Mum is upset a little that she couldn't talk

to you when she visited you.

She's worried about you.

Sveta!

We have to check in.

- I have to go.

- Okay. Don't sweat it.

- Tell them I'll come after the Olympics.

- Okay.

- Bring more medals.

- Deal.

Dear viewers! Today Atlanta hosts women's

individual all-around finals.

We're supporting our gymnasts.

They begin their performance

at the Olympics with the uneven bars.

The athletes are on the stadium now.

The public is cheering them.

By the way, the american gymnasts

have strong support from local fans here.

It won't be easy for our girls.

But we are sure they are going to win.

And now Svetlana Khorkina

is about to start her event.

Sveta had an old back injury but she has

no health problems now, as far as we know.

Let's wish her good luck.

Khorkina!

The leader of the Russian team!

She won a gold medal for our team!

Nobody could compete with her!

We hope it's not your last gold.

And we look forward to seeing you

at the next Olympics in Sydney.

You won't probably see me in Sydney.

I'm thinking about retiring from the sport.

- Why?

- I'm an Olympic champion.

My childhood dream came true.

Now I want to be with my family

and take it easy.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

Did you know Khorkina

was going to retire after the Olympics?

No, I had no idea.

But I think she's not done

with gymnastics yet. Excuse me.

Elbow! Elbow!

Watch the breathing!

Keep the rhythm.

Harder! Stroke!

Keep working.

Come on, Sasha!

Aren't you tired of taking care of me?

Yes, I am.

But you'll lose it without me.

Come on!

Well done!

It won't be long before

you bounce back.

It's a long way off.

Come on! Keep working!

Stroke!

Elbow! Keep working!

I'm sure you'll make it!

You'll be swimming even better than before.

What?

Dasha!

Do you remember our talk that night?

We decided to start dating after the Olympics.

Of course I do You said you were not ready

for a serious relationship.

And you said you weren't ready for a casual one.

The Olympics are a long way off.

Let's not put it off.

But you said it would distract you.

A family will only help!

I think.

So do I.

Will you marry me?

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Are you awake?

Mind you, I let you sleep

here only because of

your return. It's my place.

I got used to it.

Well, get used to not having it.

Sveta, our town congratulate

you on your victory!

Thank you.

What's changed in you life

after you won the Olympics.

Everything!

Way of life.

Now I'm a student

at Belgorod University, for one.

- Is it hard to be a student?

- Not so much.

I'm at the faculty of physical education.

I used to be a gymnast so it's not that hard.

It's interesting.

Many former athletes struggle

with adapting to a regular life.

How are you dealing with it?

I know what you mean

but I spend much time with my family

and I'm happy.

Hang on!

Come on!

El

Well done!

Do you miss the sport?

Yes, I do.

But I've started the new phase of my life.

Sveta, let's go out.

I don't want to.

I'll take your coat then.

Khorkina!

The leader of the Russian team!

Well,

let's go packing.

We're waiting for our legendary wrestler

Aleksandr Karelin to show up.

This is his first bout at the championship.

But I'm sure Aleksandr is going to win.

So the fight begins.

Let's wish Aleksandr Karelin good luck.

We need a solid victory!

This is the first official

competition where

our team competes under

the flag of Russia.

Sasha! Sasha!

He won! Aleksandr Karelin

secured his first victory at the competition!

A rib!

Tomorrow Karelin

meets his archenemies,

20-time champion of Sweden,

world champion Tomas Johansson.

You have to stop.

Do you feel the taste of bile?

Yes!

The rib's broken

and it's pushing the liver.

Sasha, you have to quit.

No, it's okay.

Sasha,

do you realise the consequences?

I think I do.

Doctor, don't worry.

Just be around.

Why are you looking at me?

You heard him.

Don't tell anybody.

What is it?

It's my article in a local paper.

Can you read it?

Okay!

Karelin personifies

the real champion's bravery and spirit.

Inspite of the doctors' warnings

he went to the World Championship

to support his wrestling team competing

under the flag of Russia for the first time.

You cannot but admire

his courageous decision.

Karelin symbolizes

invincible Russian spirit.

What? You didn't like it?

Yes, I do. A little bit pretentious, though.

But all in all, it's great. Thanks a lot.

Maybe Johansson hasnt read it.

Is it your last official competition?

Yes, I'm going to finish

my professional career.

I'm not getting any younger. There's no better

place to do that than at the World championship.

Especially, here, at home.

I promise to end my career with triumph.

Leonid Jakovlievichl

Hello! Hi!

You are back already.

Have you missed us?

We've got plenty

of new young girls here.

Talented, vigorous.

Workout in ten.

Get ready.

- Hi!

- Hi!

What are you doing here?

Haven't you quit?

- The Olympics is near at hand!

- You've been there.

I'm going once again.

We'll see.

Not bad.

The Olympics are a long way off.

You may get out of shape and somebody

may just pick up speed by that time.

You are right.

I might as way stay home,

hang out with friends,

go to the movies, fail to train.

But there's a problem.

I can't live without gymnastics.

- Sveta, can you watch me?

- Okay.

Let's go watch her.

Come on.

What took you so long?

- Are you okay?

- Yes.

Have you brought the passports?

Come on. They will marry us on 8th.

Sasha, hold on. Hello!

We need to talk.

Right now?

Yes, we need to talk right now.

I'm sorry.

What's the matter?

Sasha,

I'm not going to marry you.

I've been thinking...

I've helped you get back into shape.

I've been always around.

- I appreciate it.

- Well, that's the point.

You're a decent man.

Probably that's why you feel guilty.

I don't get it.

You feel guilty that I quit the sport.

But I was my choice.

Anyway,

you owe me nothing.

That's what I wanted to tell you.

Dasha, I'm really grateful

for all that you've done.

Thank you.

But I would never propose

just because you're a good person.

I love you. You see?

Then I'm pregnant.

Now a kiss! Kiss!

Kiss! Kiss!

1,2,3,4,5...

- Well done!

- Thank you.

Everyone is trying hard to be as good

as you are. What do think of Volkova?

She's good. Timing...

balance... persistence.

She's just like you

when you were young.

Young?

What am I now?

Now you've got experience.

You are 20, after all.

Leonid Jakovlievichl

My goal is an Olympic gold.

And I'll do my best to get it.

We have the trials in a month.
