BBC documentary – The Gymnast
RAVE REVIEWS. The Olympics are coming. It’s time for fans to rewatch the classic story of the Beijing British team.
… a British documentary covering the selection of the 2008 Olympic Team. As a documentary alone, it is worthy of viewing. As a gymnastics documentary, it is superb. The film captures the emotional stress on the British girls as they train and compete for a spot on the Olympic Team. The never-ending stress at home and in the gym is palpable.
Andrian Stan is the star of the film. His blunt candor is horrifying, refreshing, amusing and brutally honest. …

Few have had the career that Troy Dumais has had.
And on Saturday, that career came to end in front a crowd that gave him a standing ovation before his emotional final dive at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials, at which he finished fourth in the men’s 3-meter contest. …
