00:00:06.773 --> 00:00:09.609
(crickets chirping)

2
00:00:12.312 --> 00:00:15.448
(door thudding shut)

3
00:00:21.321 --> 00:00:23.590
(lighthearted music)

4
00:00:23.590 --> 00:00:25.692
- [Andrea] In order
for me to go to Rio,

5
00:00:25.692 --> 00:00:28.595
I would have to have the
absolute best race of my life.

6
00:00:30.930 --> 00:00:33.733
I have this one chance,

7
00:00:33.733 --> 00:00:36.136
all these miles and miles.

8
00:00:36.136 --> 00:00:40.173
I feel like all of this is
accumulating into this one race.

9
00:00:40.173 --> 00:00:43.243
(lighthearted music)

10
00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.490
(lighthearted music)

11
00:01:02.996 --> 00:01:06.166
(key card reader beeping)

12
00:01:06.166 --> 00:01:10.370
- [Dartanyon] Make sure I
have all my gis and belts

13
00:01:10.370 --> 00:01:11.671
and lots of underwear.

14
00:01:13.606 --> 00:01:16.376
At this point, I'm just living
in and out of my luggage.

15
00:01:18.311 --> 00:01:19.746
It's always perpetual motion,

16
00:01:21.247 --> 00:01:25.718
from Cuba to South America, to
Asia, to Europe, everywhere.

17
00:01:26.553 --> 00:01:27.654
- Good morning!

18
00:01:27.654 --> 00:01:28.555
You're just checking
the one bag today?

19
00:01:28.555 --> 00:01:29.556
- [Dartanyon] Just the one bag.

20
00:01:29.556 --> 00:01:30.356
- All-righty.

21
00:01:30.356 --> 00:01:31.624
Flight is on time this morning,

22
00:01:31.624 --> 00:01:33.693
leaving from gate B-17 today.

23
00:01:34.861 --> 00:01:36.129
(ticket scanner beeping)

24
00:01:36.129 --> 00:01:37.564
- 2012, I took bronze.

25
00:01:37.564 --> 00:01:39.966
My goal with London
wasn't even to medal,

26
00:01:39.966 --> 00:01:42.168
it was just to go there and
fight as well as I could

27
00:01:42.168 --> 00:01:43.970
and leave it all on the mat.

28
00:01:43.970 --> 00:01:47.273
I was nervous as all hell,
but I had nothing to lose,

29
00:01:47.273 --> 00:01:48.741
and I think that's
the best way to fight.

30
00:01:48.741 --> 00:01:51.644
(lighthearted music)

31
00:01:53.613 --> 00:01:56.783
- To be a good diver, you
have to have some guts,

32
00:01:56.783 --> 00:01:58.184
because it's scary.

33
00:02:00.353 --> 00:02:01.621
I am 26 years old,

34
00:02:01.621 --> 00:02:03.323
I've been doing it for 13 years,

35
00:02:03.323 --> 00:02:06.659
but I still get nervous
when I'm up there.

36
00:02:08.561 --> 00:02:11.531
In the London Olympics,
I earned a silver medal

37
00:02:11.531 --> 00:02:13.666
in the synchronized
diving competition,

38
00:02:13.666 --> 00:02:15.468
but I've never competed
in the Olympics

39
00:02:15.468 --> 00:02:16.469
as an individual diver.

40
00:02:16.469 --> 00:02:18.471
And that's my my new goal.

41
00:02:18.471 --> 00:02:20.807
I wasn't ready in 2012,
but now, I'm ready.

42
00:02:21.908 --> 00:02:23.409
(diving board rebounding)

43
00:02:23.409 --> 00:02:25.178
(water splashing)

44
00:02:25.178 --> 00:02:27.247
(lighthearted music)

45
00:02:27.247 --> 00:02:28.615
(fencing swords clacking)

46
00:02:28.615 --> 00:02:31.184
- When most people picture
an Olympic athlete,

47
00:02:31.184 --> 00:02:32.785
they don't think
of a Muslim woman.

48
00:02:34.354 --> 00:02:36.523
They don't picture
someone who looks like me.

49
00:02:38.391 --> 00:02:40.226
My name is Ibtihaj Muhammad.

50
00:02:40.226 --> 00:02:41.694
My friends call me Ibti.

51
00:02:42.762 --> 00:02:45.698
My name is Arabic for happiness.

52
00:02:45.698 --> 00:02:47.634
(fencing swords clacking)
- [Coach] Good.

53
00:02:49.002 --> 00:02:50.436
- I try to live up to my name.

54
00:02:50.436 --> 00:02:52.338
- [Airport Employee]
Hello, good morning!

55
00:02:52.338 --> 00:02:53.273
- [Ibtihaj] Morning!

56
00:02:53.273 --> 00:02:54.774
It's just been a whirlwind,

57
00:02:54.774 --> 00:02:57.310
like 30 different countries
over the last few years.

58
00:02:57.310 --> 00:02:59.245
- Gate number 113.
- Okay.

59
00:02:59.245 --> 00:03:00.513
- And lounge is above 119.

60
00:03:00.513 --> 00:03:02.448
Enjoy your flight.
- [Ibtihaj] Thanks!

61
00:03:02.448 --> 00:03:04.117
As an athlete, you
have to remember

62
00:03:04.117 --> 00:03:07.053
that your job isn't done.

63
00:03:07.053 --> 00:03:10.723
I feel like I would be missing
something if I didn't put in

64
00:03:10.723 --> 00:03:13.526
as much as I could in order
to be prepared for the games.

65
00:03:16.930 --> 00:03:20.233
- The top 18 boxers
in my weight class get

66
00:03:20.233 --> 00:03:21.267
to go to the games.

67
00:03:23.236 --> 00:03:26.372
The way I was treating
boxing before,

68
00:03:26.372 --> 00:03:28.408
I could be the best
in the country.

69
00:03:28.408 --> 00:03:30.343
But my goal to be the
best in the world.

70
00:03:32.011 --> 00:03:34.547
Statistically, you're
probably gonna fail.

71
00:03:34.547 --> 00:03:36.749
Whether it's talent, skill,
you're not tall enough,

72
00:03:36.749 --> 00:03:39.986
injuries, so there's
nothing's promised.

73
00:03:39.986 --> 00:03:41.254
For a goal this big,

74
00:03:41.254 --> 00:03:43.223
you would have to believe
in yourself to succeed.

75
00:03:43.223 --> 00:03:46.459
And whether that's realistic
or not, doesn't matter.

76
00:03:47.594 --> 00:03:49.262
Sounds crazy, but
there's no plan B.

77
00:03:49.262 --> 00:03:51.998
(energetic music)

78
00:03:58.871 --> 00:04:01.507
(cheerful music)

79
00:04:03.943 --> 00:04:06.980
- [Dartanyon] This is
my first time in Paris.

80
00:04:06.980 --> 00:04:09.382
Like the hot dog stands you
see everywhere in New York,

81
00:04:09.382 --> 00:04:11.884
except here, they sell crepes.

82
00:04:11.884 --> 00:04:12.619
Crepes are great.

83
00:04:15.655 --> 00:04:18.091
I've had Leber's
disease since birth.

84
00:04:18.091 --> 00:04:21.494
The way it was explained
to me, my vision is 2200.

85
00:04:23.363 --> 00:04:26.633
So someone with 20/20 vision
could see at 200 feet.

86
00:04:26.633 --> 00:04:28.167
I can see the same
thing at 20 feet.

87
00:04:28.167 --> 00:04:30.803
(cheerful music)

88
00:04:39.646 --> 00:04:42.649
- Most people start 6, 7, 8, 9,

89
00:04:42.649 --> 00:04:44.784
so they have a life
in judo already.

90
00:04:44.784 --> 00:04:46.686
Dartanyon stumbled onto it.

91
00:04:46.686 --> 00:04:49.055
He was already 19 years old,

92
00:04:49.055 --> 00:04:53.660
and so, to put him on tour
with our top able-bodied guys,

93
00:04:53.660 --> 00:04:55.728
if he can do that, you know,

94
00:04:55.728 --> 00:04:58.564
our chances at the
games get much better.

95
00:04:59.499 --> 00:05:02.402
(cheerful music)

96
00:05:08.007 --> 00:05:11.678
(energetic music)
(Judo instructor chanting)

97
00:05:11.678 --> 00:05:13.513
- [Dartanyon]
Because my eyesight,

98
00:05:13.513 --> 00:05:14.781
I can't pick up on fast motion,

99
00:05:14.781 --> 00:05:16.683
and I have a couple blind spots.

100
00:05:16.683 --> 00:05:19.018
So if a hand's coming
like over top really fast,

101
00:05:19.018 --> 00:05:20.253
it's hard for me to stop
that or pick up on it

102
00:05:20.253 --> 00:05:21.688
until it's too late.

103
00:05:25.091 --> 00:05:27.427
Sports became my
greatest equalizer,

104
00:05:27.427 --> 00:05:28.594
because it was through sport

105
00:05:28.594 --> 00:05:30.863
that I could be
like everyone else.

106
00:05:32.265 --> 00:05:34.600
Oftentimes, I was better
than everyone else.

107
00:05:37.537 --> 00:05:39.038
(lighthearted music)
But being the strongest,

108
00:05:39.038 --> 00:05:41.674
the fastest, physically
fit person out there

109
00:05:41.674 --> 00:05:43.009
isn't gonna get you a medal.

110
00:05:43.009 --> 00:05:46.346
- [Judo Partner]
Yes, yes, very good.

111
00:05:46.346 --> 00:05:48.781
- [Dartanyon] You have to be
mentally ready to get a medal.

112
00:05:48.781 --> 00:05:50.016
(Judo instructor chanting)

113
00:05:50.016 --> 00:05:52.418
Judo is a very
unforgiving sport.

114
00:05:52.418 --> 00:05:53.619
A lot of times, it's not fun.

115
00:05:53.619 --> 00:05:55.455
It's painful,
you're getting hurt,

116
00:05:55.455 --> 00:05:57.023
(Dartanyon thudding on mat)

117
00:05:57.023 --> 00:05:59.025
But that's the time when you're
making the most progress,

118
00:05:59.025 --> 00:06:02.128
when you can kind of put your
head down and move through it.

119
00:06:04.497 --> 00:06:06.833
If something's hurting, you
have to change up your grip,

120
00:06:06.833 --> 00:06:08.534
change up your stance,
change up whatever throw

121
00:06:08.534 --> 00:06:12.038
that you're doing at that time
in the match to make it work.

122
00:06:15.842 --> 00:06:16.642
Meh.

123
00:06:17.577 --> 00:06:18.945
- [Judo Partner] How you doing?

124
00:06:18.945 --> 00:06:19.879
- Huh?

125
00:06:19.879 --> 00:06:20.713
Hurts, but...

126
00:06:20.713 --> 00:06:22.648
Eh, nothing I can do about it.

127
00:06:22.648 --> 00:06:25.084
- [Judo Partner] Last one.
- Last one?

128
00:06:25.084 --> 00:06:27.153
- [Judo Partner] Yeah.

129
00:06:27.153 --> 00:06:30.189
(energetic music)

130
00:06:30.189 --> 00:06:33.226
- [Dartanyon] When you're kind
of at the brink of exhaustion

131
00:06:33.226 --> 00:06:34.794
and you're just kind
of ready to give up,

132
00:06:34.794 --> 00:06:36.229
you're not just training
physically at that point,

133
00:06:36.229 --> 00:06:38.364
you're training
mentally to be stronger.

134
00:06:38.364 --> 00:06:42.869
(judo partner thudding on mat)

135
00:06:42.869 --> 00:06:45.338
(Dartanyon thudding on mat)

136
00:06:45.338 --> 00:06:48.241
It is not like I can
just take a week off.

137
00:06:48.241 --> 00:06:49.575
You never want to give up,

138
00:06:49.575 --> 00:06:51.811
especially when you're
so close to your dream.

139
00:06:51.811 --> 00:06:54.814
You have to just kind
of bite the bullet

140
00:06:54.814 --> 00:06:56.916
up until you qualify
or you don't.

141
00:06:56.916 --> 00:06:59.185
(bouncy music)

142
00:07:00.787 --> 00:07:03.556
Ice for my ankle and shin

143
00:07:03.556 --> 00:07:05.925
and everything else that hurts.

144
00:07:07.794 --> 00:07:10.830
(ice bag crinkling)

145
00:07:11.731 --> 00:07:12.932
What's up, Mangerin?

146
00:07:12.932 --> 00:07:13.900
- [Teammate] What's
up, Mangerin?

147
00:07:13.900 --> 00:07:15.101
- [Teammate] How's it going?

148
00:07:15.101 --> 00:07:16.602
- [Mangerin] This
is a diverse room.

149
00:07:16.602 --> 00:07:18.304
- Pretty diverse room.

150
00:07:18.304 --> 00:07:20.106
We have the melting pot
of America right now.

151
00:07:20.106 --> 00:07:21.440
- [Teammate] Jeez.
(teammate laughing)

152
00:07:21.440 --> 00:07:23.643
- Are you fighting any
more tournaments until Rio?

153
00:07:23.643 --> 00:07:24.844
- Yeah, I am.

154
00:07:24.844 --> 00:07:26.179
Yeah, 'cause we
still have trials

155
00:07:26.179 --> 00:07:29.715
and also, whatever Ed
decides to make me do.

156
00:07:29.715 --> 00:07:31.117
I think after trials,
that'll probably be one

157
00:07:31.117 --> 00:07:32.451
of the last tournaments.

158
00:07:32.451 --> 00:07:33.753
- [Teammate] Yeah.

159
00:07:33.753 --> 00:07:35.054
- And then just a bunch
of training camps.

160
00:07:35.054 --> 00:07:35.721
- [Teammate] Are you
gonna do camps in Europe,

161
00:07:35.721 --> 00:07:37.356
South America?

162
00:07:37.356 --> 00:07:38.724
- I think so.

163
00:07:38.724 --> 00:07:39.959
Ed said something
about going to Japan.

164
00:07:39.959 --> 00:07:41.427
- You gonna play
your saxophone today?

165
00:07:41.427 --> 00:07:43.763
- I don't know, it depends
on how the weather is.

166
00:07:43.763 --> 00:07:45.731
- Kuni, do you know
Dartanyon taught himself

167
00:07:45.731 --> 00:07:47.200
how to play the saxophone?

168
00:07:47.200 --> 00:07:48.601
- [Kuni] Yeah.

169
00:07:48.601 --> 00:07:49.368
- [Teammate] Wait,
who did teach you how

170
00:07:49.368 --> 00:07:50.503
to play the saxophone?

171
00:07:50.503 --> 00:07:51.237
You taught yourself?
- Yeah, YouTube.

172
00:07:51.237 --> 00:07:52.238
- [Teammate] Wow!

173
00:07:52.238 --> 00:07:53.139
Recently or...

174
00:07:53.139 --> 00:07:54.807
- About two years.

175
00:07:54.807 --> 00:07:55.775
- Wow!

176
00:07:55.775 --> 00:07:58.077
That sounds challenging.

177
00:07:58.077 --> 00:07:59.979
- It was challenging and
painful for a little bit,

178
00:07:59.979 --> 00:08:01.581
'cause your face is all sore,

179
00:08:01.581 --> 00:08:03.850
and it sounds like you're
punching a bag of kittens

180
00:08:03.850 --> 00:08:05.117
when you're like first playing.

181
00:08:05.117 --> 00:08:06.552
It sounds so bad.

182
00:08:06.552 --> 00:08:07.887
- [Teammate] Who would think

183
00:08:07.887 --> 00:08:09.222
that the big Black
jacked guy would say,

184
00:08:09.222 --> 00:08:11.257
you're using muscles that
you've never used before

185
00:08:11.257 --> 00:08:12.925
playing saxophone.
(Dartanyon laughing)

186
00:08:12.925 --> 00:08:15.127
See if you can make us
enough money to buy us lunch.

187
00:08:15.127 --> 00:08:16.128
(teammates laughing)

188
00:08:16.128 --> 00:08:16.996
- Buy us lunch?

189
00:08:16.996 --> 00:08:17.864
You mean me.

190
00:08:17.864 --> 00:08:20.266
(smooth jazz saxophone music)

191
00:08:22.201 --> 00:08:22.969
having Sophia with me.Te

192
00:08:23.269 --> 00:08:25.471
It's the name of
the horn, Sophia.

193
00:08:25.471 --> 00:08:28.307
Trips like these where we
have a little bit of downtime,

194
00:08:28.307 --> 00:08:29.642
I'll play a little bit.

195
00:08:31.644 --> 00:08:33.513
Everything I learned,
I learned by ear.

196
00:08:35.047 --> 00:08:37.550
If I like it and if I think
it'll sound good on saxophone,

197
00:08:37.550 --> 00:08:38.584
then I'll play it.

198
00:08:41.420 --> 00:08:43.356
Get it from my mom's side of
the family, and also, my dad,

199
00:08:43.356 --> 00:08:45.358
he plays drum for our church.

200
00:08:45.358 --> 00:08:47.026
My mother sang all the time,

201
00:08:47.026 --> 00:08:48.794
but I always liked
the saxophone.

202
00:08:50.096 --> 00:08:51.964
Just kind of helps me relax
(crowd applauding)

203
00:08:51.964 --> 00:08:56.802
and step away from judo.
(lighthearted music)

204
00:09:03.709 --> 00:09:05.278
(energetic music)

205
00:09:05.278 --> 00:09:07.947
- It's like two weeks
today, I leave for LA.

206
00:09:09.916 --> 00:09:13.619
Today is speed work,
20 by two hundreds,

207
00:09:13.619 --> 00:09:16.222
getting the legs moving,
getting them to have a quick,

208
00:09:16.222 --> 00:09:17.557
quick, quick turnaround.

209
00:09:19.125 --> 00:09:21.494
I know people say you've gotta
do track work on a track,

210
00:09:21.494 --> 00:09:23.963
but for me mentally, I
have to do it on the road,

211
00:09:23.963 --> 00:09:25.264
'cause that's
where I'm gonna be.

212
00:09:25.264 --> 00:09:27.967
(energetic music)

213
00:09:36.475 --> 00:09:37.843
Is 2:41 my limit?

214
00:09:38.744 --> 00:09:39.845
I don't know.

215
00:09:41.714 --> 00:09:44.717
But if I'm taking time
away from my kids,

216
00:09:44.717 --> 00:09:46.118
it has to be worth something.

217
00:09:50.489 --> 00:09:53.793
(children screaming)

218
00:09:53.793 --> 00:09:55.227
(children giggling)

219
00:09:55.227 --> 00:09:57.997
Madeline, can we do
your hair please?

220
00:09:57.997 --> 00:09:59.799
Noah is seven,
(Madeline laughing)

221
00:09:59.799 --> 00:10:03.903
and Madeline is almost four.

222
00:10:03.903 --> 00:10:06.138
And I still have to
give them everything.

223
00:10:06.138 --> 00:10:07.006
If I'm tired,

224
00:10:08.140 --> 00:10:09.942
I have to find a
fifth wind for them.

225
00:10:09.942 --> 00:10:11.510
All right, let's stop.

226
00:10:11.510 --> 00:10:12.678
Noah, let's pack up.

227
00:10:12.678 --> 00:10:13.713
We gotta get you dressed.

228
00:10:13.713 --> 00:10:14.947
Madeline, let's do your hair.

229
00:10:16.782 --> 00:10:18.317
(bouncy music)

230
00:10:18.317 --> 00:10:20.186
- [Cam] A lot of people,
when they think of boxing,

231
00:10:20.186 --> 00:10:22.254
they think of Floyd Mayweather
in like the Vegas fights

232
00:10:22.254 --> 00:10:23.589
and 12 rounds.

233
00:10:23.589 --> 00:10:27.326
But in Olympic style
boxing, it's three rounds.

234
00:10:27.326 --> 00:10:29.362
It's just very
intense nine minutes.

235
00:10:29.362 --> 00:10:32.832
The only way to ensure
a win is to dominate.

236
00:10:32.832 --> 00:10:34.233
(gloves pounding mitts)

237
00:10:34.233 --> 00:10:36.035
I've got the US Olympic
Trials under my belt,

238
00:10:36.035 --> 00:10:38.170
and soon, we're heading
down to Argentina.

239
00:10:38.170 --> 00:10:39.605
If I finish top
three down there,

240
00:10:39.605 --> 00:10:40.940
I qualify, and I'm going to Rio.

241
00:10:40.940 --> 00:10:42.908
- [Coach] I'm coming
at you, give me a jab.

242
00:10:42.908 --> 00:10:45.778
(Cam grunting)
Nope, other way.

243
00:10:45.778 --> 00:10:46.979
Come on, go.

244
00:10:46.979 --> 00:10:48.414
(Cam grunting)
There you go.

245
00:10:48.414 --> 00:10:49.749
- [Cam] I'm getting ready
the way I've gotten ready

246
00:10:49.749 --> 00:10:51.884
for all the tournaments,
running sprints,

247
00:10:51.884 --> 00:10:53.853
jumping rope, a lot of punches.

248
00:10:53.853 --> 00:10:55.021
- [Coach] Your right.

249
00:10:55.021 --> 00:10:56.222
- [Cam] I never
thought I'd say it,

250
00:10:56.222 --> 00:10:59.792
but my body is not what
it was five years ago.

251
00:10:59.792 --> 00:11:04.797
(high intensity music)
(boxers grunting)

252
00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:08.434
- I'm proud of him,
because, you know,

253
00:11:08.434 --> 00:11:10.569
he lost a lot of weight,
came down to heavyweight.

254
00:11:10.569 --> 00:11:12.471
(Cam grunting)

255
00:11:12.471 --> 00:11:14.373
Cam can actually change
and be different.

256
00:11:14.373 --> 00:11:16.809
So, you know, that's
a sign of being great.

257
00:11:16.809 --> 00:11:19.512
- [Cam] I have to be
in better shape now.

258
00:11:19.512 --> 00:11:21.614
In BA, I'm gonna be
fighting guys smaller

259
00:11:21.614 --> 00:11:22.782
and faster than I'm used to.

260
00:11:22.782 --> 00:11:24.884
- Coming in, move to your right.

261
00:11:24.884 --> 00:11:26.552
There you go.

262
00:11:26.552 --> 00:11:29.855
- [Cam] You have to
be aggressive enough
to score points

263
00:11:29.855 --> 00:11:32.825
and win the round, but you
don't want to be too aggressive

264
00:11:32.825 --> 00:11:34.326
to where you're just
getting countered.

265
00:11:34.326 --> 00:11:35.861
(Cam grunting)

266
00:11:35.861 --> 00:11:37.630
- Guarantee you as soon as you
do that, he's gonna go back.

267
00:11:37.630 --> 00:11:38.998
- [Cam] Back across.

268
00:11:38.998 --> 00:11:40.199
- [Coach] You know what
that shows the judges?

269
00:11:40.199 --> 00:11:41.867
- [Cam] Dominance.
- [Coach] Dominance!

270
00:11:41.867 --> 00:11:43.235
(bouncy music)

271
00:11:43.235 --> 00:11:44.603
- [Cam] I'm not a
knockout type of boxer.

272
00:11:44.603 --> 00:11:46.706
I've had most of my fights
as a defensive fighter.

273
00:11:46.706 --> 00:11:49.208
Instead of taking punches, I
would just run from someone

274
00:11:49.208 --> 00:11:52.311
until they got tired, and then
I would start punching them.

275
00:11:52.311 --> 00:11:55.314
Now I have to be the
aggressor, not getting away

276
00:11:55.314 --> 00:11:57.516
with all the little things
I used to get away with.

277
00:11:57.516 --> 00:11:59.552
- Either way, he's been
throwing his left hand.

278
00:11:59.552 --> 00:12:00.720
That's the technical problem,

279
00:12:00.720 --> 00:12:02.188
where he was falling
forward with it.

280
00:12:03.289 --> 00:12:05.024
You know, when he
stands up straight

281
00:12:05.024 --> 00:12:07.526
and throws that left hand
correctly and straight,

282
00:12:07.526 --> 00:12:09.095
he can punch.

283
00:12:09.095 --> 00:12:11.197
Yeah, he's come on a long
way in the last few months

284
00:12:11.197 --> 00:12:12.665
and we're really looking
forward to Argentina.

285
00:12:12.665 --> 00:12:14.200
It's a big challenge.

286
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.001
- [Coach] That's what we
need going down to Argentina.

287
00:12:16.001 --> 00:12:17.770
That should be,
you're feeling it now.

288
00:12:17.770 --> 00:12:18.838
- Yeah, yeah.

289
00:12:18.838 --> 00:12:20.806
Yeah, I'm starting to trust it.

290
00:12:20.806 --> 00:12:22.141
I'm starting to trust it.

291
00:12:22.141 --> 00:12:24.610
- You started trying it,
now you see it works.

292
00:12:24.610 --> 00:12:26.011
- Yeah.

293
00:12:26.011 --> 00:12:28.180
If I'm fighting a less
experienced opponent,

294
00:12:28.180 --> 00:12:30.449
I can do those things
that I've been working on,

295
00:12:30.449 --> 00:12:32.118
like being aggressive
and moving forward.

296
00:12:32.118 --> 00:12:34.353
When the competition
starts to step up,

297
00:12:34.353 --> 00:12:37.156
it doesn't work out in
my favor all the time.

298
00:12:37.156 --> 00:12:40.626
I have 129 days until
the Olympic games,

299
00:12:40.626 --> 00:12:42.795
and I still have to
qualify for the games,

300
00:12:42.795 --> 00:12:44.096
so I've gotta make it work.

301
00:12:45.064 --> 00:12:48.634
(lighthearted music)

302
00:12:48.634 --> 00:12:50.503
- All right, so look at
some angiograms here.

303
00:12:50.503 --> 00:12:51.537
- Okay.

304
00:12:51.537 --> 00:12:53.139
I am doing heart research

305
00:12:53.139 --> 00:12:54.740
at the Duke Clinical
Research Institute,

306
00:12:54.740 --> 00:12:55.941
and I'm working on a project,

307
00:12:55.941 --> 00:12:58.010
testing aspirin
dosing in patients

308
00:12:58.010 --> 00:13:00.212
who have existing heart disease.

309
00:13:00.212 --> 00:13:02.782
I've known I wanted to be
a doctor for a long time,

310
00:13:02.782 --> 00:13:04.617
but the closer I
get to the Olympics,

311
00:13:04.617 --> 00:13:06.118
I'm more diver than doctor.

312
00:13:07.987 --> 00:13:10.456
I head to practice at 6:30,

313
00:13:10.456 --> 00:13:13.225
and then at eight
o'clock, I shower,

314
00:13:13.225 --> 00:13:16.328
and I can dry my hair and
do my makeup in 15 minutes.

315
00:13:16.328 --> 00:13:19.298
And then, I head to
the medical school,

316
00:13:19.298 --> 00:13:23.335
and then, I return to
practice at 12:30 and repeat.

317
00:13:23.335 --> 00:13:25.004
That's enough to keep me busy.

318
00:13:27.439 --> 00:13:28.507
(water splashing)

319
00:13:28.507 --> 00:13:30.976
(Nunzio cheering)
(Nunzio clapping)

320
00:13:30.976 --> 00:13:31.811
- That was great.

321
00:13:31.811 --> 00:13:32.812
Good job!

322
00:13:32.812 --> 00:13:34.813
How you feeling this afternoon?

323
00:13:34.813 --> 00:13:36.148
- Good.

324
00:13:36.148 --> 00:13:37.883
- [Nunzio] Good, so why
don't you do lineups?

325
00:13:37.883 --> 00:13:38.918
- [Abby] Yeah

326
00:13:38.918 --> 00:13:40.286
- [Nunzio] And jumps with Laura.

327
00:13:40.286 --> 00:13:41.754
- [Abby] Laura and I
have come a long way.

328
00:13:41.754 --> 00:13:44.557
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

329
00:13:44.557 --> 00:13:46.826
When we had first started
training together,

330
00:13:46.826 --> 00:13:48.794
I was just getting
back into diving.

331
00:13:48.794 --> 00:13:53.232
I had had shoulder surgery,
was pretty out of shape.

332
00:13:53.232 --> 00:13:55.301
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

333
00:13:55.301 --> 00:13:59.238
So I think she was the
stronger of the pair,

334
00:13:59.238 --> 00:14:02.508
and then I started
training more seriously,

335
00:14:02.508 --> 00:14:03.676
got into better shape,

336
00:14:03.676 --> 00:14:05.744
and I think when I got better,

337
00:14:05.744 --> 00:14:09.348
there was a little bit of
some awkwardness between us.

338
00:14:09.348 --> 00:14:12.651
And I think that that was
something we had to overcome.

339
00:14:12.651 --> 00:14:15.120
(high intensity music)

340
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:16.555
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

341
00:14:16.555 --> 00:14:18.057
- Woohoo!

342
00:14:18.057 --> 00:14:20.292
That arm timing looked
much better that time,

343
00:14:20.292 --> 00:14:23.028
and you kept your
butt in that time.

344
00:14:23.028 --> 00:14:24.997
- [Abby] But for
the past two years,

345
00:14:24.997 --> 00:14:26.832
we've been the top
two individuals

346
00:14:26.832 --> 00:14:28.334
and the top synchronized team,

347
00:14:28.334 --> 00:14:30.236
and there was a pretty
wide margin between us

348
00:14:30.236 --> 00:14:32.705
and the next closest divers.

349
00:14:32.705 --> 00:14:34.573
We've just gotta go to
the World Cup in Rio

350
00:14:34.573 --> 00:14:35.541
and qualify our spot.

351
00:14:37.042 --> 00:14:38.744
And I'll be retiring at
the end of the summer,

352
00:14:38.744 --> 00:14:42.514
so it's really my last chance
to get back to an Olympics

353
00:14:42.514 --> 00:14:45.017
and hopefully be
on a podium again.

354
00:14:45.017 --> 00:14:46.619
- Team USA!

355
00:14:46.619 --> 00:14:49.488
Abby Johnston, Laura Ryan.

356
00:14:49.488 --> 00:14:50.356
405B,

357
00:14:51.557 --> 00:14:52.825
3.0.

358
00:14:52.825 --> 00:14:54.360
(high intensity music)

359
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:56.729
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

360
00:14:56.729 --> 00:14:59.765
- [Laura] Do you want
another, or can I be done?

361
00:14:59.765 --> 00:15:00.566
- Okay.

362
00:15:02.835 --> 00:15:05.804
(high intensity music)

363
00:15:06.672 --> 00:15:10.042
- [Ibtihaj] We're in Paris,
France for a training camp.

364
00:15:10.042 --> 00:15:12.611
There are a few people here
who are top 16 in the world

365
00:15:12.611 --> 00:15:14.613
that I don't have the
opportunity to train with

366
00:15:14.613 --> 00:15:16.115
back in New York.

367
00:15:16.115 --> 00:15:18.884
So I'd like to take advantage
of that over the next week.

368
00:15:18.884 --> 00:15:21.553
(high intensity music)

369
00:15:21.553 --> 00:15:23.923
You pick up the habits
of different athletes,

370
00:15:23.923 --> 00:15:26.926
whether someone likes to run,
or they're more offensive,

371
00:15:26.926 --> 00:15:28.127
or if they're more defensive,

372
00:15:28.127 --> 00:15:30.229
you know how they react
to things that I do.

373
00:15:31.563 --> 00:15:33.666
I maybe sometimes make
a mistake with my hand

374
00:15:33.666 --> 00:15:36.368
or I can be really impatient
when I'm attacking.

375
00:15:36.368 --> 00:15:39.972
(fencing swords clacking)

376
00:15:39.972 --> 00:15:43.275
We have 10 international
competitions

377
00:15:43.275 --> 00:15:45.411
and four domestic competitions.

378
00:15:45.411 --> 00:15:47.346
At the end of those qualifiers,

379
00:15:47.346 --> 00:15:50.049
you want to be top
three in the nation

380
00:15:50.049 --> 00:15:51.250
to be named to the team.

381
00:15:52.651 --> 00:15:55.487
So at this point in the
Olympic qualifying season,

382
00:15:55.487 --> 00:15:58.390
I do feel that the ante's
been upped a little bit

383
00:15:58.390 --> 00:16:00.926
and there's some
pressure to perform.

384
00:16:00.926 --> 00:16:03.762
(fencing swords clacking)
(high intensity music)

385
00:16:03.762 --> 00:16:06.365
Today, I'm number two
in the United States

386
00:16:06.365 --> 00:16:08.267
and number seven in the world.

387
00:16:10.336 --> 00:16:11.503
I know it sounds crazy,

388
00:16:11.503 --> 00:16:14.406
but I've always
said to my family

389
00:16:14.406 --> 00:16:17.543
that all I've ever wanted
is to qualify, right?

390
00:16:17.543 --> 00:16:19.945
So I don't even have to
go, I just want to qualify.

391
00:16:19.945 --> 00:16:23.148
(high intensity music)

392
00:16:25.050 --> 00:16:26.785
(lighthearted music)

393
00:16:26.785 --> 00:16:28.253
I love Paris,

394
00:16:28.253 --> 00:16:30.022
one of my favorite
cities to visit.

395
00:16:30.022 --> 00:16:31.623
I love going to museums

396
00:16:31.623 --> 00:16:34.460
and hearing French, even
though I don't speak any.

397
00:16:34.460 --> 00:16:36.261
After this, we can
(speaks French).

398
00:16:40.499 --> 00:16:42.568
What is this, the
oldest club in France?

399
00:16:46.605 --> 00:16:48.440
Here's Paolo's duck
counter attack.

400
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:49.608
Here.

401
00:16:49.608 --> 00:16:53.445
(Ibtihaj and friends laughing)

402
00:16:55.214 --> 00:16:56.081
- You see!

403
00:16:56.081 --> 00:16:57.883
It was a thing.

404
00:16:57.883 --> 00:16:59.551
Now I'm upset because I thought

405
00:16:59.551 --> 00:17:01.286
that it was my signature move.

406
00:17:01.286 --> 00:17:03.122
- You thought it was
your signature move!

407
00:17:03.122 --> 00:17:07.259
- He's obviously copying me.

408
00:17:07.259 --> 00:17:08.293
Hi, bonjour!

409
00:17:08.293 --> 00:17:09.795
(Jean-Pierre speaking French)

410
00:17:09.795 --> 00:17:10.796
- [All] No.

411
00:17:10.796 --> 00:17:13.298
(Ibtihaj's friend
speaking French)

412
00:17:13.298 --> 00:17:16.602
(Jean-Pierre speaking French)

413
00:17:16.602 --> 00:17:20.038
(Ibtihaj's friend
speaking French)

414
00:17:20.038 --> 00:17:24.109
(Jean-Pierre speaking French)

415
00:17:24.109 --> 00:17:27.212
(lighthearted music)

416
00:17:29.815 --> 00:17:31.517
- [Ibtihaj] Wondering
if you lost?

417
00:17:31.517 --> 00:17:35.354
(Jean-Pierre speaking French)

418
00:17:37.456 --> 00:17:42.361
- Defeat is black,
and victory is white.

419
00:17:43.495 --> 00:17:47.332
(Ibtihaj's friend
speaking French)

420
00:17:47.332 --> 00:17:49.501
(Jean-Pierre speaking French)

421
00:17:49.501 --> 00:17:52.137
(Ibtihaj's friend
speaking French)

422
00:17:52.137 --> 00:17:55.774
(Jean-Pierre speaking French)

423
00:17:57.009 --> 00:17:59.511
(Ibtihaj's friend and
Jean-Pierre laughing)

424
00:17:59.511 --> 00:18:00.879
The women that practice there,

425
00:18:00.879 --> 00:18:03.215
they don't like to
practice with each other.

426
00:18:03.215 --> 00:18:04.516
They just want take lesson,

427
00:18:04.516 --> 00:18:06.418
because they think
like this is too manly.

428
00:18:06.418 --> 00:18:08.387
(Jean-Pierre laughing)

429
00:18:08.387 --> 00:18:10.923
(Jean-Pierre speaking French)

430
00:18:10.923 --> 00:18:12.724
Before 10 years ago, women-

431
00:18:12.724 --> 00:18:14.193
- There were no women saber...

432
00:18:14.193 --> 00:18:15.661
- No saber, we know.

433
00:18:15.661 --> 00:18:17.396
(all chuckling)

434
00:18:17.396 --> 00:18:19.064
- Now we're better than the men.

435
00:18:19.064 --> 00:18:20.466
(all laughing)

436
00:18:20.466 --> 00:18:21.433
- [Madeline] This is my bone.

437
00:18:21.433 --> 00:18:23.135
This is my bone right here.

438
00:18:23.135 --> 00:18:24.336
- [Noah] Right here?

439
00:18:24.336 --> 00:18:26.572
- [Madeline] No,
right here is my bone.

440
00:18:26.572 --> 00:18:28.173
Mommy!
- Yes ma'am?

441
00:18:28.173 --> 00:18:29.942
- [Madeline] Where
are your bones?

442
00:18:29.942 --> 00:18:31.410
- All in your body.

443
00:18:31.410 --> 00:18:34.880
We are going to karate for Noah.

444
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.750
It's a good place for him
to release some energy,

445
00:18:38.750 --> 00:18:41.854
but also understand
discipline and respect.

446
00:18:41.854 --> 00:18:43.522
(toy smacking Madeline)

447
00:18:43.522 --> 00:18:45.324
- Noah, stop hitting me!

448
00:18:45.324 --> 00:18:46.158
- [Andrea] Madeline,
Madeline, Madeline!

449
00:18:46.158 --> 00:18:47.726
Hey, guys!

450
00:18:47.726 --> 00:18:49.027
Guys!

451
00:18:49.027 --> 00:18:50.596
- [Madeline] Noah,
(indistinct) give you the ball!

452
00:18:50.596 --> 00:18:52.931
- [Andrea] Oh my goodness,
this is so embarrassing.

453
00:18:52.931 --> 00:18:54.933
(children chanting)

454
00:18:54.933 --> 00:18:57.469
My marriage ended
almost seven months ago,

455
00:18:58.537 --> 00:19:00.105
so it is very new.

456
00:19:00.105 --> 00:19:01.807
- [Instructor] You tell me...
(instructor grunting)

457
00:19:01.807 --> 00:19:03.142
(children screaming)

458
00:19:03.142 --> 00:19:05.410
- [Andrea] The kids have
done really well with it,

459
00:19:05.410 --> 00:19:07.746
but it is still very rocky.

460
00:19:07.746 --> 00:19:08.380
- Good!

461
00:19:08.380 --> 00:19:09.248
- Bye, guys!

462
00:19:09.248 --> 00:19:10.148
- [Children] Bye!

463
00:19:10.148 --> 00:19:11.116
- Good work, go line up!

464
00:19:11.116 --> 00:19:11.984
Go!

465
00:19:11.984 --> 00:19:13.185
Yes, sir.

466
00:19:13.185 --> 00:19:14.820
- No, we're gonna go
hand off to your dad.

467
00:19:16.655 --> 00:19:17.422
Come on.

468
00:19:19.191 --> 00:19:20.058
Come on!

469
00:19:20.058 --> 00:19:21.426
Come on!

470
00:19:21.426 --> 00:19:22.628
- [Mandeline] I'm cold!
- Okay, come here.

471
00:19:22.628 --> 00:19:23.428
Here, I'll put you
in the car, come on.

472
00:19:23.428 --> 00:19:24.763
(Andrea grunting)

473
00:19:24.763 --> 00:19:25.964
Come on!

474
00:19:25.964 --> 00:19:27.165
Hey, Noah!

475
00:19:27.165 --> 00:19:28.567
All y'all are gonna
be with daddy, okay?

476
00:19:28.567 --> 00:19:29.935
- [Andrea's Ex-Husband]
Come on, let's go.

477
00:19:29.935 --> 00:19:31.470
- Bye you guys!

478
00:19:31.470 --> 00:19:33.438
It's hard to not be with them.

479
00:19:34.873 --> 00:19:37.576
I've been with them
since birth, you know?

480
00:19:39.878 --> 00:19:42.581
(energetic music)

481
00:19:45.951 --> 00:19:47.886
- I want to see
you, what you do.

482
00:19:47.886 --> 00:19:49.154
- [Coach] Chest to chest.
- You make like this.

483
00:19:49.154 --> 00:19:51.290
Make like when you step, boom!

484
00:19:51.290 --> 00:19:52.891
- [Dartanyon] I think
a lot of the challenges

485
00:19:52.891 --> 00:19:55.260
that I went through growing
up in Cleveland helped

486
00:19:55.260 --> 00:19:57.996
kind of prepare me for the
mental toughness of Judo.

487
00:19:59.198 --> 00:20:00.432
I'm so glad (indistinct).

488
00:20:02.334 --> 00:20:03.769
- Explosive.

489
00:20:03.769 --> 00:20:04.570
Explosive!

490
00:20:06.905 --> 00:20:08.407
Yes!

491
00:20:08.407 --> 00:20:09.641
Good.

492
00:20:09.641 --> 00:20:11.910
- They have me travel anywhere

493
00:20:11.910 --> 00:20:15.314
outside of Cleveland
up until I was 18.

494
00:20:15.314 --> 00:20:17.516
My mother died when I was eight,

495
00:20:17.516 --> 00:20:19.718
my dad wasn't a very
strong influence.

496
00:20:19.718 --> 00:20:21.453
He was never violent toward me,

497
00:20:21.453 --> 00:20:24.456
but he just wasn't
there a lot of the time,

498
00:20:24.456 --> 00:20:26.458
and we just didn't have much.

499
00:20:26.458 --> 00:20:28.227
because lot of times,
the money would go

500
00:20:28.227 --> 00:20:31.363
toward feeding his addiction,
rather than rent or food.

501
00:20:32.764 --> 00:20:34.733
Growing up, I just
wanted something better.

502
00:20:34.733 --> 00:20:36.001
(Dartanyon thudding onto mat)

503
00:20:36.001 --> 00:20:37.369
I didn't know what
that looked like

504
00:20:37.369 --> 00:20:39.404
before I started
on the sports team.

505
00:20:39.404 --> 00:20:41.039
I just knew I wanted
something better.

506
00:20:44.009 --> 00:20:45.310
(lighthearted music)

507
00:20:45.310 --> 00:20:47.346
- [Abby] I've been around
the world with diving.

508
00:20:47.346 --> 00:20:49.948
I've been to so many countries

509
00:20:49.948 --> 00:20:52.250
and continents that I
know I wouldn't have gone

510
00:20:52.250 --> 00:20:53.518
without the sport.

511
00:20:55.087 --> 00:20:57.656
I'm excited to
explore Rio in Brazil.

512
00:21:03.028 --> 00:21:05.230
My mom's been traveling
with me for 13 years now

513
00:21:05.230 --> 00:21:06.898
to all these competitions.
- [Elaine] Hey!

514
00:21:06.898 --> 00:21:08.233
- [Abby] She's my best friend.

515
00:21:08.233 --> 00:21:12.237
She has been to every
diving meet with me.

516
00:21:12.237 --> 00:21:15.173
(bouncy Latin music)

517
00:21:20.912 --> 00:21:22.280
I love it here.

518
00:21:22.280 --> 00:21:24.383
I like this laid back vibe

519
00:21:24.383 --> 00:21:27.486
and the scenery is
just incredible.

520
00:21:27.486 --> 00:21:28.520
- [Elaine] Thank you!

521
00:21:28.520 --> 00:21:29.755
- [Abby] Thank you, obrigado!

522
00:21:29.755 --> 00:21:31.123
- [Elaine] I think
there's a boy obrigado

523
00:21:31.123 --> 00:21:31.957
and a girl obrigado.

524
00:21:31.957 --> 00:21:32.858
Obrigado or something for boys.

525
00:21:34.860 --> 00:21:36.762
her when I'm competing,d

526
00:21:36.762 --> 00:21:38.764
because she knows
that I'm nervous

527
00:21:38.764 --> 00:21:40.165
and I'm putting enough
pressure on myself

528
00:21:40.165 --> 00:21:42.134
and that she just needs
to keep it lighthearted.

529
00:21:42.134 --> 00:21:44.670
(Elaine laughing)
(dishes clanking)

530
00:21:44.670 --> 00:21:46.638
Thank you!
- Thank you!

531
00:21:46.638 --> 00:21:50.075
- I like when they have like
not quite right English phrases

532
00:21:50.075 --> 00:21:51.343
on their clothes.

533
00:21:51.343 --> 00:21:52.978
- Like when the translation
is a little wonky?

534
00:21:52.978 --> 00:21:56.381
- Like in the front of her
pants, it says body now.

535
00:21:56.381 --> 00:21:58.183
(Elaine laughing)

536
00:21:58.183 --> 00:21:59.551
Oh, right, body now.

537
00:21:59.551 --> 00:22:01.019
- This is probably
the best salmon

538
00:22:01.019 --> 00:22:02.988
I've ever had in my life.

539
00:22:02.988 --> 00:22:05.190
- Bold statement, but the
best fish I maybe ever had

540
00:22:05.190 --> 00:22:08.260
is when I was on
that beach in Greece,

541
00:22:08.260 --> 00:22:09.327
and I fileted it myself,

542
00:22:09.327 --> 00:22:11.630
and then cooked it
over an open fire.

543
00:22:11.630 --> 00:22:13.198
- I'm impressed.

544
00:22:13.198 --> 00:22:15.400
- [Abby] Whether she's
bringing me a gossip magazine

545
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:16.868
or taking me to get a manicure,

546
00:22:16.868 --> 00:22:18.770
just silly things to
help me keep my mind

547
00:22:18.770 --> 00:22:20.639
off of what I have ahead of me.

548
00:22:22.340 --> 00:22:25.577
(high intensity music)

549
00:22:33.118 --> 00:22:37.923
- [Announcer] FINA diving
World cup from Rio de Janeiro.

550
00:22:37.923 --> 00:22:40.392
Today, it is the women's
synchro on the springboard.

551
00:22:40.392 --> 00:22:42.527
Here's the overriding
story of this day,

552
00:22:42.527 --> 00:22:46.164
can this American team
finish in the top seven?

553
00:22:46.164 --> 00:22:49.134
That is the goal to
earn a qualifying spot.

554
00:22:50.435 --> 00:22:53.238
- Listening to a lot of
Drake and Beyonce today.

555
00:22:53.238 --> 00:22:54.339
I'm feeling good.

556
00:22:54.339 --> 00:22:56.775
- [Announcer] Abby
Johnston won silver

557
00:22:56.775 --> 00:22:58.744
in London in this event.

558
00:22:58.744 --> 00:23:00.612
Now partnered with Laura Ryan,

559
00:23:00.612 --> 00:23:02.581
who competed in the
trials for 2012,

560
00:23:02.581 --> 00:23:04.516
did not qualify for the team.

561
00:23:04.516 --> 00:23:06.818
- [Abby] We take our
headphones off like two divers

562
00:23:06.818 --> 00:23:08.420
before we actually go,

563
00:23:08.420 --> 00:23:09.888
'cause I don't wanna hear how
people are doing before me.

564
00:23:09.888 --> 00:23:12.491
- [Announcer] There are
five groups of dives,

565
00:23:12.491 --> 00:23:16.128
so they must cover every
group, front, back, reverse,

566
00:23:16.128 --> 00:23:20.966
inward, and twisting at some
point during their five dives.

567
00:23:20.966 --> 00:23:23.201
- She just likes to see
somebody in the stands,

568
00:23:23.201 --> 00:23:25.704
so that's why I always get
to the meets very early.

569
00:23:25.704 --> 00:23:28.240
Then I pick a spot so she
knows where to look for me.

570
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:29.274
Come on, Ab!

571
00:23:29.274 --> 00:23:30.542
Come on, Laura!

572
00:23:30.542 --> 00:23:32.244
- It's great having a
cheering section I think.

573
00:23:32.244 --> 00:23:34.179
You really love having everyone
up there yelling your names,

574
00:23:34.179 --> 00:23:35.046
and it feels good.

575
00:23:35.046 --> 00:23:36.948
- [Presenter] 5B, and number 5,

576
00:23:36.948 --> 00:23:39.718
represented by United
States of America.

577
00:23:41.620 --> 00:23:43.255
- I go home from these meets,

578
00:23:43.255 --> 00:23:46.591
usually about five to 10 pounds
lighter because I can't eat.

579
00:23:46.591 --> 00:23:48.260
I'm just too nervous.

580
00:23:48.260 --> 00:23:49.961
My heart is on the line every
time she gets on that board.

581
00:23:49.961 --> 00:23:51.496
All right, here they go.

582
00:23:51.496 --> 00:23:54.966
(high intensity music)

583
00:23:54.966 --> 00:23:58.236
(diver board rebounding)

584
00:23:58.236 --> 00:23:59.638
(water splashing)

585
00:23:59.638 --> 00:24:01.640
(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

586
00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:02.941
Way to go, ladies!

587
00:24:02.941 --> 00:24:07.913
(Elaine cheering)
(high intensity music)

588
00:24:09.781 --> 00:24:11.683
- We had a great prelim.

589
00:24:11.683 --> 00:24:13.351
You know, we weren't
that many points

590
00:24:13.351 --> 00:24:14.719
out of third right now,

591
00:24:14.719 --> 00:24:16.154
so, you know, it shows that
we have metal potential.

592
00:24:16.154 --> 00:24:18.557
And I think it was like
exactly what we would want

593
00:24:18.557 --> 00:24:22.327
in the morning, setting us
up perfectly for tonight.

594
00:24:22.327 --> 00:24:24.629
- [Announcer] A
second straight day

595
00:24:24.629 --> 00:24:26.231
where weather has been a factor,

596
00:24:26.231 --> 00:24:28.867
there has been rain
in an uncovered venue.

597
00:24:28.867 --> 00:24:31.603
- [Abby] Like once the sun
went down, it got really windy.

598
00:24:31.603 --> 00:24:33.471
Everyone's like, "Oh, there's
gonna be a thunderstorm."

599
00:24:33.471 --> 00:24:34.739
Then the power went out.

600
00:24:34.739 --> 00:24:36.241
All these things, I was
just kinda like whatever.

601
00:24:36.241 --> 00:24:38.243
I don't care if it rains,
I felt ready to go.

602
00:24:38.243 --> 00:24:40.011
- [Announcer] When you get here,

603
00:24:40.011 --> 00:24:42.180
if you haven't already
garnered a spot,

604
00:24:42.180 --> 00:24:43.381
that's the only goal.

605
00:24:43.381 --> 00:24:44.983
That's what you're doing here

606
00:24:44.983 --> 00:24:46.585
at this competition.
(crowd cheering)

607
00:24:46.585 --> 00:24:48.920
Abby Johnston on the left,
Laura Ryan on the right.

608
00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.390
(high intensity music)

609
00:24:52.390 --> 00:24:57.295
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

610
00:24:57.295 --> 00:24:59.631
They're pretty well
mirroring each other

611
00:24:59.631 --> 00:25:03.168
and look at that a little bit
difference in their height.

612
00:25:03.168 --> 00:25:07.038
(crowd cheering)
(water splashing)

613
00:25:07.038 --> 00:25:10.275
(high intensity music)

614
00:25:13.211 --> 00:25:15.714
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

615
00:25:15.714 --> 00:25:18.416
(coach whistling)

616
00:25:20.252 --> 00:25:22.888
A little more splash on the
right out of Laura Ryan,

617
00:25:22.888 --> 00:25:25.390
but a little bit better
than the first round dive.

618
00:25:25.390 --> 00:25:26.825
(crowd cheering)

619
00:25:26.825 --> 00:25:28.460
- [Abby] I think Laura was
nervous, she was like jittery.

620
00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:30.962
She was jumping around
more than usual.

621
00:25:30.962 --> 00:25:34.532
- [Announcer] Johnston and
Ryan, six tenths of a point

622
00:25:34.532 --> 00:25:37.602
out of seventh, and that is
the target position for them.

623
00:25:37.602 --> 00:25:39.905
- [Announcer] We don't see
a whole lot of separation

624
00:25:39.905 --> 00:25:42.540
most of the time
after two rounds,

625
00:25:42.540 --> 00:25:47.412
but this is where all of the
separation starts to show up.

626
00:25:48.847 --> 00:25:52.017
So looking for 65 or above
in these last three rounds.

627
00:25:52.017 --> 00:25:54.119
- [Abby] Got our first optional,
went back two and half,

628
00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:55.787
felt like I like crushed it.

629
00:25:55.787 --> 00:25:57.789
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

630
00:25:57.789 --> 00:25:59.524
- [Announcer] Now that's
a pretty good dive.

631
00:25:59.524 --> 00:26:04.029
But we saw a little arch
in the back of Laura Ryan

632
00:26:04.029 --> 00:26:06.264
and that means she's pulling,

633
00:26:06.264 --> 00:26:08.133
struggling a little
bit to get to vertical.

634
00:26:08.133 --> 00:26:09.701
(crowd cheering)

635
00:26:09.701 --> 00:26:10.468
- [Abby] She was like,
"Yeah, I was a little short.

636
00:26:10.468 --> 00:26:11.269
It was okay."

637
00:26:11.269 --> 00:26:12.771
We watched the video.

638
00:26:12.771 --> 00:26:14.573
I was like, "I just thought
we would do better."

639
00:26:14.573 --> 00:26:16.675
(high intensity music)

640
00:26:16.675 --> 00:26:19.844
- [Announcer] Johnston
and Ryan lost a spot.

641
00:26:19.844 --> 00:26:21.546
They are ninth now.

642
00:26:21.546 --> 00:26:24.049
- [Announcer] They sure could
benefit from a 70 point dive,

643
00:26:24.049 --> 00:26:26.418
which would mean
a lot of eights.

644
00:26:26.418 --> 00:26:29.654
- [Abby] That's the frustrating
thing about this sport.

645
00:26:29.654 --> 00:26:30.889
You can just be off.

646
00:26:30.889 --> 00:26:32.791
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

647
00:26:32.791 --> 00:26:36.328
- [Announcer] They're just
not quite totally in sync.

648
00:26:36.328 --> 00:26:38.229
Do they take off
at the same time?

649
00:26:38.229 --> 00:26:40.398
Do they spin at the same rate

650
00:26:40.398 --> 00:26:42.233
and have the same distance
from the diving board?

651
00:26:42.233 --> 00:26:43.969
Did they hit the water
at the same time?

652
00:26:43.969 --> 00:26:45.503
(crowd cheering)

653
00:26:45.503 --> 00:26:46.771
- [Announcer] Two straight
rounds now of the same score.

654
00:26:46.771 --> 00:26:49.240
64.8, and that is really
going to put pressure

655
00:26:49.240 --> 00:26:51.109
on Johnston, Ryan's final dive.

656
00:26:51.109 --> 00:26:52.477
- So I knew exactly
where we were,

657
00:26:52.477 --> 00:26:54.446
and I knew like
how close it was.

658
00:26:54.446 --> 00:26:57.248
And we knew that we were
right behind the girls

659
00:26:57.248 --> 00:26:59.217
that were going before us.

660
00:26:59.217 --> 00:27:00.752
You know, as we were
walking up to the boards,

661
00:27:00.752 --> 00:27:03.622
they were announcing that they
had gotten like low scores.

662
00:27:03.622 --> 00:27:06.324
We were like, "Okay,
this is our opportunity."

663
00:27:06.324 --> 00:27:07.726
- [Announcer] So here it comes.

664
00:27:07.726 --> 00:27:10.528
Abby Johnston, left,
Laura Ryan, right.

665
00:27:10.528 --> 00:27:12.430
Last shot to get
the United States

666
00:27:12.430 --> 00:27:14.132
into the Olympic
games in this event.

667
00:27:14.132 --> 00:27:15.600
They are ninth,

668
00:27:15.600 --> 00:27:18.403
and they will need a
blockbuster final round dive.

669
00:27:18.403 --> 00:27:20.372
- [Announcer] Well,
they need 75 points.

670
00:27:20.372 --> 00:27:22.574
They need to go
ahead of the Germans.

671
00:27:22.574 --> 00:27:24.309
- [Abby] We just had
to do a good dive,

672
00:27:24.309 --> 00:27:25.377
and we would be fine.

673
00:27:25.377 --> 00:27:26.945
Like, I just kept being like,

674
00:27:26.945 --> 00:27:30.348
you know, "Fight for every
point, fight for every point."

675
00:27:30.348 --> 00:27:33.551
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

676
00:27:33.551 --> 00:27:35.053
- [Announcer] Oh, I don't know.

677
00:27:35.053 --> 00:27:36.187
(high intensity music)

678
00:27:36.187 --> 00:27:37.122
I think throughout
the competition,

679
00:27:37.122 --> 00:27:38.590
they have been better than this,

680
00:27:38.590 --> 00:27:42.427
but just a little bit dissimilar
they need over 75, no.

681
00:27:42.427 --> 00:27:44.496
- [Announcer] 71.1,
they didn't get 75.

682
00:27:44.496 --> 00:27:45.864
- [Announcer] Not good enough.

683
00:27:45.864 --> 00:27:47.532
(melancholy music)

684
00:27:47.532 --> 00:27:49.067
- [Announcer] And so, the United
States will not participate

685
00:27:49.067 --> 00:27:52.637
in this event during
the Rio Games.

686
00:27:52.637 --> 00:27:54.873
- [Abby] And that's when
I just like walked away

687
00:27:54.873 --> 00:27:55.573
and went and found my mom.

688
00:27:56.741 --> 00:27:58.943
(melancholy music)

689
00:27:58.943 --> 00:28:02.781
- [Elaine] The emotions are
the hardest part, you know?

690
00:28:02.781 --> 00:28:04.783
'Cause when her heart
breaks, my heart breaks.

691
00:28:04.783 --> 00:28:06.284
I just wanna, you
know, give her a hug.

692
00:28:06.284 --> 00:28:07.152
That's all I want.

693
00:28:07.152 --> 00:28:08.820
I just wanna see her.

694
00:28:08.820 --> 00:28:09.654
What else can you do?

695
00:28:11.756 --> 00:28:12.791
fourth of the World Cupr yes

696
00:28:12.791 --> 00:28:14.659
and then second of
the Olympic Games,

697
00:28:14.659 --> 00:28:18.496
and I think it's hard not to
compare the two experiences.

698
00:28:18.496 --> 00:28:22.400
But I need to recognize that
2016 is going to be different.

699
00:28:22.400 --> 00:28:25.036
This time, my path is
diving as an individual

700
00:28:25.036 --> 00:28:26.171
and not in synchro.

701
00:28:27.439 --> 00:28:29.607
I just need to embrace
that and cut my losses.

702
00:28:33.244 --> 00:28:36.047
(bouncy music)

703
00:28:38.516 --> 00:28:39.317
- One up.

704
00:28:40.618 --> 00:28:41.886
That's two.

705
00:28:41.886 --> 00:28:43.088
Game point.

706
00:28:43.088 --> 00:28:46.024
If I win this game,
I won the bet.

707
00:28:46.024 --> 00:28:47.592
- KT, he's my little brother

708
00:28:47.592 --> 00:28:49.561
with the Big Brother,
Big Sister program.

709
00:28:49.561 --> 00:28:52.330
Whatever it is that's going on,

710
00:28:52.330 --> 00:28:53.765
he wants to make
it a competition.

711
00:28:53.765 --> 00:28:54.966
And I'm like that too.

712
00:28:54.966 --> 00:28:55.867
- Ooh!

713
00:28:55.867 --> 00:28:57.469
Oh!

714
00:28:57.469 --> 00:28:59.604
- I've been a Big for
about four or five years.

715
00:28:59.604 --> 00:29:03.842
If I could be promised that
like I had a kid like KT,

716
00:29:03.842 --> 00:29:06.010
I would probably
consider having kids.

717
00:29:06.010 --> 00:29:07.545
Ooh!

718
00:29:07.545 --> 00:29:10.048
See, if that was a
properly weighted ball...

719
00:29:10.048 --> 00:29:11.683
KT, he's 13.

720
00:29:11.683 --> 00:29:14.486
Dad passed away when
his mom was pregnant.

721
00:29:14.486 --> 00:29:15.987
Never got a chance
to meet his father.

722
00:29:15.987 --> 00:29:18.289
(ball dribbling)
(KT grunting)

723
00:29:18.289 --> 00:29:19.524
- [KT] Give me that!

724
00:29:19.524 --> 00:29:20.725
He's a athlete,
and I'm an athlete,

725
00:29:20.725 --> 00:29:22.827
we have a lot of
common to talk about.

726
00:29:22.827 --> 00:29:25.730
He likes to quote,
"build my confidence up,"

727
00:29:25.730 --> 00:29:28.099
but I think I'm building
his confidence up.

728
00:29:29.667 --> 00:29:30.702
Got it!

729
00:29:30.702 --> 00:29:31.703
- [Cam] Run it back.

730
00:29:31.703 --> 00:29:32.904
- I got involved,

731
00:29:32.904 --> 00:29:33.972
because I felt like I
needed a big brother.

732
00:29:33.972 --> 00:29:34.939
I'm an only child.

733
00:29:34.939 --> 00:29:36.441
- I mean, he's like a Black kid

734
00:29:36.441 --> 00:29:39.177
and he's younger than me, so
he could be my little brother.

735
00:29:39.177 --> 00:29:43.214
I'm at the position in my
life where I choose my family.

736
00:29:43.214 --> 00:29:44.749
Like, he's no longer
a random person.

737
00:29:44.749 --> 00:29:46.251
Now, he's my little brother.

738
00:29:46.251 --> 00:29:49.020
- I guess I'm a really
important part of his life now.

739
00:29:49.020 --> 00:29:50.188
It means a lot actually.

740
00:29:50.188 --> 00:29:51.422
(Cam grunting)

741
00:29:51.422 --> 00:29:53.091
- I'm going to Disney World!

742
00:29:53.091 --> 00:29:55.059
I'm going to Disneyland!

743
00:29:55.059 --> 00:29:55.927
Woo!

744
00:29:55.927 --> 00:29:57.395
Woo, woo!

745
00:29:57.395 --> 00:30:00.798
- Mommy, watch this, watch this!

746
00:30:00.798 --> 00:30:02.333
(Noah cheering)

747
00:30:02.333 --> 00:30:03.735
Sorry, sorry I did that.

748
00:30:03.735 --> 00:30:05.336
- It's all right, that's fine.

749
00:30:05.336 --> 00:30:07.572
- [Andrea] My parents, I feel
like they're my best friends.

750
00:30:08.406 --> 00:30:10.074
They're a huge help.

751
00:30:10.074 --> 00:30:11.309
- Mommy, look!

752
00:30:11.309 --> 00:30:12.744
Look at me!

753
00:30:12.744 --> 00:30:14.579
- There are days when
they can watch the kids,

754
00:30:14.579 --> 00:30:15.847
so that I can go run.

755
00:30:15.847 --> 00:30:17.182
- So Andy, how are
your workouts coming?

756
00:30:17.182 --> 00:30:18.416
- Going good.

757
00:30:18.416 --> 00:30:20.785
My dad, I always
say, is like my rock.

758
00:30:20.785 --> 00:30:22.887
He was the one that
introduced me to running.

759
00:30:22.887 --> 00:30:25.657
He would do marathons, and I
would always remember going out

760
00:30:25.657 --> 00:30:27.091
and cheering for him.

761
00:30:27.091 --> 00:30:29.260
And then I remember one
day, he just kind of said,

762
00:30:29.260 --> 00:30:30.628
"Do you wanna come with me?"

763
00:30:30.628 --> 00:30:35.567
(stop watch beeping)
(high intensity music)

764
00:30:39.737 --> 00:30:43.208
We were informed late
August of last year

765
00:30:43.208 --> 00:30:44.976
that my dad has cancer.

766
00:30:47.011 --> 00:30:51.216
And I hear the C-word, and
I'm thinking this is not good.

767
00:30:51.216 --> 00:30:55.153
But I allow that to be
like a fire within me.

768
00:30:55.153 --> 00:30:57.889
(energetic music)

769
00:31:00.525 --> 00:31:01.926
I think he knew in his heart,

770
00:31:01.926 --> 00:31:04.329
she's just gonna fight
harder because of this.

771
00:31:06.698 --> 00:31:10.201
I'm 37 with two kids, family
issues with my father,

772
00:31:10.201 --> 00:31:11.369
with the divorce.

773
00:31:12.737 --> 00:31:17.508
I know on paper, I'm a
long shot to make the team.

774
00:31:18.676 --> 00:31:19.611
But by just showing
up to the trials,

775
00:31:19.611 --> 00:31:21.279
I'm teaching my kids something.

776
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:22.580
You don't have to win to win.

777
00:31:22.580 --> 00:31:23.982
- All right, I'll be there.

778
00:31:23.982 --> 00:31:25.283
See you soon.

779
00:31:25.283 --> 00:31:26.718
- [Andrea] Toeing the
line and just going to LA,

780
00:31:26.718 --> 00:31:28.453
like, I've already won.

781
00:31:32.257 --> 00:31:33.324
- Checking just one bag?

782
00:31:33.324 --> 00:31:34.792
- Just one, yes, sir.
- Okay.

783
00:31:34.792 --> 00:31:37.362
- I'm going out to LA
for the Olympic Trials

784
00:31:37.362 --> 00:31:38.229
in the marathon.

785
00:31:38.229 --> 00:31:38.997
- Hey, right on!

786
00:31:40.064 --> 00:31:42.400
(upbeat music)

787
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:43.434
- Guys, hurry up!

788
00:31:43.434 --> 00:31:44.602
Grab a jacket!

789
00:31:45.803 --> 00:31:49.407
If you're in sabre,
go find a partner.

790
00:31:49.407 --> 00:31:50.942
I remember going to tournaments,

791
00:31:50.942 --> 00:31:54.646
and I would have parents of
other fencers tell me that,

792
00:31:54.646 --> 00:31:56.381
you know, Black
people didn't fence

793
00:31:56.381 --> 00:31:58.683
or that Muslims didn't fence.

794
00:31:58.683 --> 00:32:01.419
Historically, fencing
has always been reserved

795
00:32:01.419 --> 00:32:04.455
for the elite or
the noble of society

796
00:32:04.455 --> 00:32:06.057
and people who have money.

797
00:32:06.057 --> 00:32:07.558
- Have advance!

798
00:32:07.558 --> 00:32:09.360
- [Ibtihaj] Financially, it's
always been really difficult

799
00:32:09.360 --> 00:32:10.428
for me as an athlete,

800
00:32:10.428 --> 00:32:12.096
and I've been really blessed

801
00:32:12.096 --> 00:32:14.732
to not only have really
supportive parents,

802
00:32:14.732 --> 00:32:18.403
but then also to stumble upon
the Peter Westbrook Foundation

803
00:32:18.403 --> 00:32:20.972
in New York City, who
financially helped me

804
00:32:20.972 --> 00:32:23.308
to compete at this level.

805
00:32:23.308 --> 00:32:26.544
And so, that was the
first time where I thought

806
00:32:26.544 --> 00:32:28.112
to myself like, "Wait a second.

807
00:32:28.112 --> 00:32:29.948
Maybe I could be
an Olympian too."

808
00:32:29.948 --> 00:32:31.082
You know?

809
00:32:31.082 --> 00:32:33.217
- The sport has done so
amazing things for me!

810
00:32:33.217 --> 00:32:36.721
It changed my whole life,
the whole way I view things.

811
00:32:36.721 --> 00:32:39.123
So I said let me
expose this sport

812
00:32:39.123 --> 00:32:41.659
to other people in
the inner cities.

813
00:32:41.659 --> 00:32:44.829
- If you start here, you can
just go straight up to five.

814
00:32:44.829 --> 00:32:46.331
Go!

815
00:32:46.331 --> 00:32:48.199
I don't feel like I've ever
been that special of an athlete.

816
00:32:48.199 --> 00:32:50.234
I've always just
worked really hard.

817
00:32:50.234 --> 00:32:51.769
Go!

818
00:32:51.769 --> 00:32:53.905
So I always gravitate towards
the kids who work really hard,

819
00:32:53.905 --> 00:32:56.274
because I can see
myself in them.

820
00:32:58.076 --> 00:33:00.912
- I'm gonna send this out on
Monday to thousands of people.

821
00:33:00.912 --> 00:33:04.148
The kids can benefit
from this experience.

822
00:33:04.148 --> 00:33:07.285
- Peter has more
love in his heart

823
00:33:07.285 --> 00:33:09.821
than I think anyone
else that I know.

824
00:33:09.821 --> 00:33:13.858
I have dreams of being
able to, you know,

825
00:33:13.858 --> 00:33:16.327
reach people in the
same way that Peter has.

826
00:33:16.327 --> 00:33:17.795
You need a glove,
where are you going?

827
00:33:17.795 --> 00:33:18.863
(upbeat music)

828
00:33:18.863 --> 00:33:20.264
A mask and a glove, hurry up!

829
00:33:20.264 --> 00:33:24.268
- What impresses me about
Ibtihaj's spirit is,

830
00:33:24.268 --> 00:33:26.671
most people in
that Olympic arena,

831
00:33:26.671 --> 00:33:29.374
they get theirs, and
then they move on.

832
00:33:29.374 --> 00:33:30.775
She wants to come back,

833
00:33:30.775 --> 00:33:34.545
and she's there every Saturday
uplifting the children.

834
00:33:34.545 --> 00:33:37.081
- So you make retreat,

835
00:33:37.081 --> 00:33:40.618
advance in your show, and
then you make Parry riposte.

836
00:33:40.618 --> 00:33:41.419
Ready!

837
00:33:42.453 --> 00:33:43.821
Go!

838
00:33:43.821 --> 00:33:44.822
(upbeat music)
(fencing swords clacking)

839
00:33:44.822 --> 00:33:46.190
I think that the mission

840
00:33:46.190 --> 00:33:47.825
behind the Peter Westbrook
Foundation is not

841
00:33:47.825 --> 00:33:48.860
to make Olympians.

842
00:33:48.860 --> 00:33:50.661
I think it's to change lives.

843
00:33:50.661 --> 00:33:53.664
- This gift that you have,
God has given this for you.

844
00:33:53.664 --> 00:33:55.099
Always remember that.

845
00:33:55.099 --> 00:33:56.701
Because sometimes, people's
head can get this big

846
00:33:56.701 --> 00:33:57.802
and lose focus on me.

847
00:33:57.802 --> 00:33:58.836
I've seen that!

848
00:33:58.836 --> 00:34:00.004
I've seen that happen.

849
00:34:00.004 --> 00:34:01.406
- Yeah, I hear you.

850
00:34:01.406 --> 00:34:02.607
- But you're cool, all right.
- Thanks, Peter.

851
00:34:02.607 --> 00:34:04.108
- You're like, "Thanks, Peter.

852
00:34:04.108 --> 00:34:05.877
Now get out of here."
(Peter and Ibtihaj laughing)

853
00:34:05.877 --> 00:34:09.781
(church leader singing prayer)

854
00:34:11.616 --> 00:34:15.420
(church leader speaking Hindi)

855
00:34:21.859 --> 00:34:24.862
- A big part of my
growth and my journey

856
00:34:24.862 --> 00:34:27.265
as an athlete is
definitely spiritual,

857
00:34:27.265 --> 00:34:29.033
and I feel like
they're connected.

858
00:34:29.033 --> 00:34:31.202
I am always trying
to remind myself

859
00:34:31.202 --> 00:34:34.072
that I'm not competing
or training for myself,

860
00:34:34.072 --> 00:34:36.474
and I feel like I do
everything for God.

861
00:34:37.942 --> 00:34:39.343
- [Church Leader] You
have to understand,

862
00:34:39.343 --> 00:34:41.479
forgiveness is not the way
you and I think forgiveness

863
00:34:41.479 --> 00:34:43.748
when Allah says he
forgives his servants.

864
00:34:43.748 --> 00:34:45.316
- [Ibtihaj] Something as big

865
00:34:45.316 --> 00:34:47.752
as the Olympics can
inflate your ego

866
00:34:47.752 --> 00:34:49.854
a little bit or make you think
really highly of yourself

867
00:34:49.854 --> 00:34:51.489
for a split second.

868
00:34:51.489 --> 00:34:53.925
And I think the beauty of
Islam is that God sees us all

869
00:34:53.925 --> 00:34:55.393
as one in the same.

870
00:34:55.393 --> 00:34:57.328
You're no different from
your brother or your sister.

871
00:34:57.328 --> 00:34:59.530
I love that I can
come to a space

872
00:34:59.530 --> 00:35:02.733
and reflect on spiritual goals
that I wanna set for myself

873
00:35:02.733 --> 00:35:04.068
for the coming days.

874
00:35:06.471 --> 00:35:08.973
(bouncy music)

875
00:35:14.378 --> 00:35:16.080
- Man, this is a, am I dreaming?

876
00:35:17.014 --> 00:35:18.082
No, I'm awake.

877
00:35:18.082 --> 00:35:19.350
- [Dartanyon] No, you're good.

878
00:35:19.350 --> 00:35:20.718
- [Arthur] I found
a picture of you.

879
00:35:20.718 --> 00:35:22.987
- I love coming back and
seeing friends and family.

880
00:35:22.987 --> 00:35:24.489
- [Arthur] Kevin
taller than you now.

881
00:35:24.489 --> 00:35:27.325
- But the dealers
that were around,

882
00:35:27.325 --> 00:35:29.594
the gang members, being robbed,

883
00:35:29.594 --> 00:35:32.163
just rather not revisit
those memories and thoughts

884
00:35:32.163 --> 00:35:33.130
if I don't need to.

885
00:35:34.132 --> 00:35:36.033
- I was talking with mom...

886
00:35:36.033 --> 00:35:38.603
The hard parts was
my fight with drugs.

887
00:35:38.603 --> 00:35:41.405
Dartanyon always told me he
felt that I could do better.

888
00:35:41.405 --> 00:35:43.040
Like now, he's
really proud of me,

889
00:35:43.040 --> 00:35:44.375
and I don't want to
betray that at all.

890
00:35:44.375 --> 00:35:48.079
So from today, where do you go?

891
00:35:48.079 --> 00:35:50.214
- After we're done here,

892
00:35:50.214 --> 00:35:51.616
I go back to Colorado
for a little bit,

893
00:35:51.616 --> 00:35:55.219
and then I go to Dallas
for Paralympic trials,

894
00:35:55.219 --> 00:35:57.221
and then from there, I
go to Boston for camp.

895
00:35:57.221 --> 00:35:59.457
And then after that, I have
a little bit of a break.

896
00:35:59.457 --> 00:36:01.225
- So what all are
we gonna do today?

897
00:36:01.225 --> 00:36:02.426
We're kicking it today.

898
00:36:02.426 --> 00:36:04.061
- Kind of hang out, catch up.

899
00:36:04.061 --> 00:36:06.297
Gonna do jam session
at the church.

900
00:36:07.098 --> 00:36:08.099
Ready to play?

901
00:36:08.099 --> 00:36:09.567
- I'm always ready to play.

902
00:36:09.567 --> 00:36:10.501
(Dartanyon chuckling)

903
00:36:10.501 --> 00:36:12.203
- [Dartanyon] Do
you need anything?

904
00:36:12.203 --> 00:36:14.071
- [Arthur] My keys.

905
00:36:14.071 --> 00:36:15.206
- [Dartanyon] That's it.

906
00:36:15.206 --> 00:36:16.541
- I'm worried about that.

907
00:36:16.541 --> 00:36:17.742
Sometimes I accidentally
leave the door open.

908
00:36:17.742 --> 00:36:19.143
- [Dartanyon] Yeah!

909
00:36:19.143 --> 00:36:20.311
- [Arthur] 'Cause it's
nice quiet over here.

910
00:36:20.311 --> 00:36:21.012
- [Dartanyon] It's
a good neighborhood.

911
00:36:21.012 --> 00:36:22.580
- [Arthur] It is.

912
00:36:22.580 --> 00:36:24.015
So is Bedford, it's still
nice over here, and I love it.

913
00:36:24.015 --> 00:36:25.249
- [Dartanyon] Right.

914
00:36:25.249 --> 00:36:26.117
When are you gonna let me drive?

915
00:36:26.117 --> 00:36:27.084
- [Arthur] Ha!

916
00:36:28.386 --> 00:36:30.221
When you get a gold.
- [Dartanyon] Mhm.

917
00:36:30.221 --> 00:36:31.589
(Arthur laughing)

918
00:36:31.589 --> 00:36:33.591
- [Arthur] This is
the new neighborhood,

919
00:36:33.591 --> 00:36:36.027
You know, I don't try
not to bug Dartanyon,

920
00:36:36.027 --> 00:36:38.429
but if I need help,
he'll help me out.

921
00:36:38.429 --> 00:36:39.797
The building that
where I was living at

922
00:36:39.797 --> 00:36:41.065
on Lakeshore Boulevard,

923
00:36:41.065 --> 00:36:42.567
he found there was drugs
back inside that building.

924
00:36:42.567 --> 00:36:44.802
So he said, "All right,
dad, I'm coming in town."

925
00:36:44.802 --> 00:36:47.004
Next thing I know, I got an
apartment, I got furniture.

926
00:36:47.004 --> 00:36:48.773
He helped me pay rent.

927
00:36:48.773 --> 00:36:50.908
- He's doing a lot better.

928
00:36:50.908 --> 00:36:53.611
He's been clean for
the past eight years.

929
00:36:54.779 --> 00:36:56.681
I had a small part
in playing into it,

930
00:36:56.681 --> 00:36:59.684
but for the most part,
he did it on his own.

931
00:36:59.684 --> 00:37:01.953
- [Arthur] It's starting
to look familiar now?

932
00:37:01.953 --> 00:37:03.454
- [Dartanyon] Mhm.

933
00:37:03.454 --> 00:37:05.489
- [Arthur] You used to be
scared to ride up down here.

934
00:37:05.489 --> 00:37:07.258
Bring back memories.
- [Dartanyon] Yeah.

935
00:37:07.258 --> 00:37:09.160
- [Arthur] That's where
I met your mom at.

936
00:37:09.160 --> 00:37:10.328
- [Dartanyon] Really?

937
00:37:10.328 --> 00:37:11.462
- [Arthur] Yep.
- [Dartanyon] Hmm.

938
00:37:11.462 --> 00:37:12.496
- [Arthur] At
Abby's Laundry Mat.

939
00:37:12.496 --> 00:37:13.731
- [Dartanyon] I
didn't know that.

940
00:37:15.933 --> 00:37:18.736
(lighthearted music)

941
00:37:18.736 --> 00:37:20.338
- [Arthur] Wow.

942
00:37:20.338 --> 00:37:22.173
Been years since you
and I walked down
this street together.

943
00:37:22.173 --> 00:37:23.307
- [Dartanyon] Yep.
- [Arthur] Years!

944
00:37:23.307 --> 00:37:24.909
- [Dartanyon] Quite
a bit of time.

945
00:37:24.909 --> 00:37:26.043
Long time no see, man!

946
00:37:26.043 --> 00:37:26.944
- How you been?

947
00:37:26.944 --> 00:37:27.845
How are you?

948
00:37:27.845 --> 00:37:28.613
- [Dartanyon] I'm good!

949
00:37:28.613 --> 00:37:29.981
Good to see you.
- Yeah!

950
00:37:29.981 --> 00:37:31.415
(lighthearted music)
- Oh wow!

951
00:37:31.415 --> 00:37:33.251
(Dartanyon laughing)
Here you go.

952
00:37:33.251 --> 00:37:34.619
- Ooh, you smell good!

953
00:37:34.619 --> 00:37:36.187
(Dartanyon and Arthur laughing)

954
00:37:36.187 --> 00:37:38.222
- Thanks, ladies!

955
00:37:38.222 --> 00:37:39.423
She got a kick out of that.

956
00:37:39.423 --> 00:37:41.325
(Dartanyon and Arthur laughing)

957
00:37:41.325 --> 00:37:43.794
- The house has been
completely torn down.

958
00:37:43.794 --> 00:37:45.529
If the piece of dry
wall wasn't there,

959
00:37:45.529 --> 00:37:48.032
you wouldn't even known
that there was a house there

960
00:37:48.032 --> 00:37:49.200
to begin with.

961
00:37:49.200 --> 00:37:50.434
It's just a field now.

962
00:37:50.434 --> 00:37:51.268
- [Arthur] It's like
a monopoly board.

963
00:37:51.268 --> 00:37:52.436
They just pick up a house.

964
00:37:52.436 --> 00:37:53.671
- [Dartanyon]
Right, (indistinct).

965
00:37:53.671 --> 00:37:55.072
- [Arthur] Yeah!

966
00:37:55.072 --> 00:37:56.207
- [Dartanyon] That house
look like it's gonna be next.

967
00:37:56.207 --> 00:37:57.475
- [Arthur] Yeah.

968
00:37:57.475 --> 00:37:59.010
I know ain't nobody
living in there.

969
00:37:59.010 --> 00:38:00.277
- [Dartanyon] Yeah.

970
00:38:00.277 --> 00:38:02.280
- [Arthur] I just want to
keep the fond memories.

971
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:04.548
The other ones, I don't even
want think about it anymore.

972
00:38:04.548 --> 00:38:05.950
I'm glad we're outta there.

973
00:38:05.950 --> 00:38:07.485
- Oh, I'm so glad.

974
00:38:07.485 --> 00:38:09.954
- [Arthur] It wasn't all bad,
we had some fun in there, but-

975
00:38:09.954 --> 00:38:12.023
- Yeah, definitely, but this
wasn't a good house in Atlanta.

976
00:38:12.023 --> 00:38:12.923
It was awful.

977
00:38:12.923 --> 00:38:14.258
I hated that guy.

978
00:38:14.258 --> 00:38:15.626
- [Arthur] Well, don't waste
your time hating nobody.

979
00:38:15.626 --> 00:38:18.796
(lighthearted music)

980
00:38:18.796 --> 00:38:20.097
All right, we're coming
up to the church.

981
00:38:20.097 --> 00:38:22.867
- [Dartanyon] Yeah, Tried
Stone Baptist Church.

982
00:38:22.867 --> 00:38:25.036
He's been a drummer all my life,

983
00:38:25.036 --> 00:38:27.938
and I always sat next to him
in church while he played.

984
00:38:27.938 --> 00:38:30.107
And so, I kind of found my own
avenue to go down with music.

985
00:38:30.107 --> 00:38:32.610
I think that was a really
important stepping stone.

986
00:38:32.610 --> 00:38:35.112
- [Arthur] What you
in the mood to play?

987
00:38:35.112 --> 00:38:38.115
(kick drum thudding)

988
00:38:38.115 --> 00:38:40.885
- You wanna start something
or you want me to?

989
00:38:40.885 --> 00:38:42.186
- [Arthur] I'll follow you.

990
00:38:42.186 --> 00:38:43.254
- [Dartanyon] Okay.

991
00:38:43.254 --> 00:38:45.956
(Arthur coughing)

992
00:38:47.258 --> 00:38:50.961
(smooth jazz saxophone music)

993
00:38:56.901 --> 00:39:01.772
(upbeat percussion music)
(smooth jazz saxophone music)

994
00:39:09.080 --> 00:39:10.481
- [Arthur] Yeah, we
just get into it.

995
00:39:10.481 --> 00:39:11.749
We fool around.

996
00:39:11.749 --> 00:39:12.950
I never had any lessons.

997
00:39:12.950 --> 00:39:14.418
I taught myself.

998
00:39:14.418 --> 00:39:15.453
A little while ago, he told me,

999
00:39:15.453 --> 00:39:16.721
"Hey dad, I want
to play the sax."

1000
00:39:16.721 --> 00:39:18.589
Next thing I know,
he's playing the sax.

1001
00:39:18.589 --> 00:39:21.459
So I think we both
just love music.

1002
00:39:21.459 --> 00:39:26.530
He's just an offspring for me,
and like now, it's a circle.

1003
00:39:27.431 --> 00:39:28.566
I'm trying to learn from him,

1004
00:39:28.566 --> 00:39:29.567
and I'm loving it.

1005
00:39:29.567 --> 00:39:33.270
(upbeat percussion music)

1006
00:39:33.270 --> 00:39:34.438
- I ran out of breath.

1007
00:39:34.438 --> 00:39:35.806
(Arthur laughing)

1008
00:39:35.806 --> 00:39:36.974
- [Arthur] Thanks, Dar.

1009
00:39:36.974 --> 00:39:38.876
- [Dartanyon] You're welcome.

1010
00:39:38.876 --> 00:39:40.878
- This kid come out of that
same infested neighborhood.

1011
00:39:40.878 --> 00:39:42.747
Now, he travels
around the world.

1012
00:39:42.747 --> 00:39:44.615
I have nothing but
pride for that boy.

1013
00:39:47.151 --> 00:39:50.020
(sentimental music)

1014
00:39:55.126 --> 00:39:56.393
- Hi.

1015
00:39:56.393 --> 00:39:57.461
Hi, this is Abby.

1016
00:39:58.696 --> 00:40:00.364
I have a conference call
for a med school project

1017
00:40:00.364 --> 00:40:03.000
that I'm working on, and
I usually take that call

1018
00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:04.535
while I'm on the elliptical.

1019
00:40:04.535 --> 00:40:07.438
- [Colleague] But some of the
findings could be related,

1020
00:40:07.438 --> 00:40:09.173
let's put it that way.

1021
00:40:09.173 --> 00:40:11.475
- Sometimes, they
ask me questions.

1022
00:40:11.475 --> 00:40:13.711
And I'll be like, out of breath.

1023
00:40:13.711 --> 00:40:15.045
Thank you, have a good week.

1024
00:40:17.515 --> 00:40:18.516
Done.

1025
00:40:19.917 --> 00:40:21.919
I left Rio just feeling
like I don't know

1026
00:40:21.919 --> 00:40:23.921
why I can't perform
the way I want to,

1027
00:40:23.921 --> 00:40:26.590
I can't advance the
way I expected myself.

1028
00:40:26.590 --> 00:40:27.825
I think a lot of people

1029
00:40:27.825 --> 00:40:29.293
would probably write
me off right now.

1030
00:40:29.293 --> 00:40:30.427
How was your weekend?

1031
00:40:30.427 --> 00:40:31.495
- Good, did you do your
cardio this morning?

1032
00:40:31.495 --> 00:40:32.963
- [Abby] I did.

1033
00:40:32.963 --> 00:40:34.031
I feel like I've
just been running

1034
00:40:34.031 --> 00:40:35.533
at this hurdle and tripping.

1035
00:40:35.533 --> 00:40:36.700
- All right, let's split up.

1036
00:40:36.700 --> 00:40:38.135
Why don't you three
get on the tramp

1037
00:40:38.135 --> 00:40:40.337
and do your somersaults
and have you do dry work.

1038
00:40:40.337 --> 00:40:41.772
- [Abby] Okay.

1039
00:40:41.772 --> 00:40:43.607
I still have a chance
to go to the Olympics

1040
00:40:43.607 --> 00:40:45.176
as an individual diver.

1041
00:40:45.176 --> 00:40:47.578
So now my focus, post Rio,
is to break down my dives

1042
00:40:47.578 --> 00:40:48.946
into the different parts.

1043
00:40:49.980 --> 00:40:51.248
- Good, that's a good start.

1044
00:40:51.248 --> 00:40:53.250
You're just a hair
forward in your hurdle,

1045
00:40:53.250 --> 00:40:54.752
but otherwise good.

1046
00:40:54.752 --> 00:40:57.121
- And so, Nunzio and I
will kind of, you know,

1047
00:40:57.121 --> 00:40:58.689
focus on one piece at a time,

1048
00:40:58.689 --> 00:41:01.325
and then focus on putting
two of the pieces together,

1049
00:41:01.325 --> 00:41:03.294
three of the pieces,
and then the full dive.

1050
00:41:03.294 --> 00:41:04.628
- [Nunzio] There you go.

1051
00:41:04.628 --> 00:41:05.930
Those looked better.
- [Abby] Yeah.

1052
00:41:05.930 --> 00:41:07.932
At the end of Rio, I was
in a really sad place.

1053
00:41:07.932 --> 00:41:09.967
And, you know, being back home,

1054
00:41:09.967 --> 00:41:12.002
it's been a good
breath of fresh air.

1055
00:41:13.504 --> 00:41:16.340
- Good, I like that hurdle
even better than the jump.

1056
00:41:16.340 --> 00:41:17.608
- [Abby] With a slow build

1057
00:41:17.608 --> 00:41:19.076
towards the Puerto
Rico competition,

1058
00:41:19.076 --> 00:41:22.012
you know, I'm just
hoping that I can make

1059
00:41:22.012 --> 00:41:23.447
some of the changes that
we've been working on,

1060
00:41:23.447 --> 00:41:27.451
as far as my takeoffs
and my arm positions

1061
00:41:27.451 --> 00:41:29.353
on the starts.
- There you go.

1062
00:41:29.353 --> 00:41:30.120
That was good.

1063
00:41:30.120 --> 00:41:31.589
That was a really good line.

1064
00:41:31.589 --> 00:41:33.390
I would say just use your
arms a little bit more

1065
00:41:33.390 --> 00:41:34.425
when you throw.

1066
00:41:34.425 --> 00:41:35.626
- [Abby] Hopefully, that work

1067
00:41:35.626 --> 00:41:36.760
that I've been
doing will pay off.

1068
00:41:39.230 --> 00:41:39.997
- Good.

1069
00:41:40.898 --> 00:41:42.533
- [Abby] Okay, I'm ready.

1070
00:41:42.533 --> 00:41:43.968
- You ready?

1071
00:41:43.968 --> 00:41:45.469
- [Abby] I've got one more
tune up in Puerto Rico,

1072
00:41:45.469 --> 00:41:46.770
and I need to go down there

1073
00:41:46.770 --> 00:41:48.138
and prove that the
last meet was a fluke.

1074
00:41:48.138 --> 00:41:50.774
I'm just telling
myself, I've got this.

1075
00:41:50.774 --> 00:41:51.775
I can't wait to
see what happens.

1076
00:41:53.577 --> 00:41:55.412
(energetic music)

1077
00:41:55.412 --> 00:41:56.480
- [Flight Attendant]
Hello, welcome!

1078
00:41:56.480 --> 00:41:58.082
- [Andrea] I'm going to LA.

1079
00:41:58.082 --> 00:42:00.351
Fourteen years since
my first marathon.

1080
00:42:00.351 --> 00:42:02.386
- [Abby] Coming
here to Puerto Rico,

1081
00:42:02.386 --> 00:42:04.054
there's nothing better
than a comeback story.

1082
00:42:04.054 --> 00:42:05.556
- Hello, Mrs. Johnston.
- [Abby] Yeah.

1083
00:42:05.556 --> 00:42:07.024
- [Airport Employee]
How are you?

1084
00:42:07.024 --> 00:42:08.759
- [Cam] We're
heading to Argentina.

1085
00:42:08.759 --> 00:42:09.793
My whole life before boxing,

1086
00:42:09.793 --> 00:42:11.295
I've only been on a plane once.

1087
00:42:11.295 --> 00:42:16.300
(plane engine roaring)
(energetic music)

1088
00:42:17.701 --> 00:42:20.237
- [Pilot] Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Los Angeles.

1089
00:42:20.237 --> 00:42:21.672
The local time is-

1090
00:42:21.672 --> 00:42:23.274
- [Abby] First time in LA.

1091
00:42:23.274 --> 00:42:26.277
- [Ibtihaj] I love going to
these places and competing.

1092
00:42:26.277 --> 00:42:28.679
It's helped me grow,
not just as a person,

1093
00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:29.980
but also like spiritually

1094
00:42:29.980 --> 00:42:33.150
and be just very
thankful of the moment

1095
00:42:33.150 --> 00:42:34.652
and where I am and who I am.

1096
00:42:36.954 --> 00:42:38.088
- [Cam] There's little things

1097
00:42:38.088 --> 00:42:40.190
that you have to
learn on your own.

1098
00:42:40.190 --> 00:42:42.092
It has nothing to
do with boxing.

1099
00:42:42.092 --> 00:42:43.494
Dealing with time change,

1100
00:42:43.494 --> 00:42:46.063
dealing with food,
searching for wifi.

1101
00:42:46.063 --> 00:42:47.531
- [Street walker] Who are you?

1102
00:42:47.531 --> 00:42:48.966
- Sometimes, I don't even know.

1103
00:42:48.966 --> 00:42:50.367
(street walkers laughing)

1104
00:42:50.367 --> 00:42:53.237
- [Abby] I run up,
and there it is.

1105
00:42:53.237 --> 00:42:54.705
The Olympic venue.

1106
00:42:54.705 --> 00:42:56.840
Ugh, it makes me wanna cry.

1107
00:42:56.840 --> 00:42:59.710
(Abby laughing)
(Abby sniffling)

1108
00:42:59.710 --> 00:43:01.145
(Dartanyon's friends laughing)

1109
00:43:01.145 --> 00:43:02.746
- I was just looking
at it, look's bigger.

1110
00:43:02.746 --> 00:43:04.081
How much are glasses?

1111
00:43:04.081 --> 00:43:06.583
- I think it's just the
beef anniversary in Rio.

1112
00:43:06.583 --> 00:43:07.551
- Yeah.

1113
00:43:07.551 --> 00:43:08.619
One kilogram steak.

1114
00:43:08.619 --> 00:43:09.720
- [Dartanyon] Really?

1115
00:43:09.720 --> 00:43:11.055
- [Dartanyon's Friend] Yeah.

1116
00:43:11.055 --> 00:43:12.389
- All right, that's what I want.

1117
00:43:12.389 --> 00:43:14.525
- [Ibtihaj] I like
Korea, I like the energy.

1118
00:43:14.525 --> 00:43:15.960
So excited!

1119
00:43:15.960 --> 00:43:18.062
Do you guys want chopsticks?

1120
00:43:19.363 --> 00:43:21.498
- [Andrea] It is really
hot and tropical down here,

1121
00:43:21.498 --> 00:43:25.202
and there are these evening
storms that come and go.

1122
00:43:25.202 --> 00:43:27.972
I would love to wake up and
look at the beach every morning.

1123
00:43:27.972 --> 00:43:30.307
- [Dartanyon] That's
a lot of steak.

1124
00:43:30.307 --> 00:43:31.408
Thank you.

1125
00:43:31.408 --> 00:43:32.309
- [Dartanyon's Friend]
It's super big.

1126
00:43:32.309 --> 00:43:33.610
- [Andrea] It's gonna be hot.

1127
00:43:33.610 --> 00:43:34.612
- Survival of the fittest.

1128
00:43:34.612 --> 00:43:36.280
- It was very hot today!

1129
00:43:36.280 --> 00:43:38.015
- [Andrea's Mom] Have you
thought about where you want us

1130
00:43:38.015 --> 00:43:39.316
on the course?
- Yes, yes.

1131
00:43:39.316 --> 00:43:40.117
I'm gonna need y'all
on the straightaway.

1132
00:43:40.117 --> 00:43:41.719
- Two?

1133
00:43:41.719 --> 00:43:43.153
Two, four?

1134
00:43:43.153 --> 00:43:44.088
- Zero.

1135
00:43:44.088 --> 00:43:46.690
One, zero, zero.
- Oh!

1136
00:43:46.690 --> 00:43:47.758
- Man!

1137
00:43:47.758 --> 00:43:49.259
- Don't get on the struggle bus.

1138
00:43:49.259 --> 00:43:52.529
- Nothing like peer pressure
to help you eat yourself

1139
00:43:52.529 --> 00:43:54.031
into a coma.

1140
00:43:54.031 --> 00:43:55.532
- [Ibtihaj] It's great to visit
all these different places,

1141
00:43:55.532 --> 00:43:58.168
but at the same time, it
makes you really appreciate

1142
00:43:58.168 --> 00:43:59.770
your family and appreciate
the time you have

1143
00:43:59.770 --> 00:44:01.572
with them and miss them.

1144
00:44:01.572 --> 00:44:03.040
- We should have a toast!

1145
00:44:03.040 --> 00:44:04.875
- [Andrea's Friend] Yay!
- [Andrea's Mom] Andrea!

1146
00:44:04.875 --> 00:44:06.276
- [Andrea's Dad] To Andrea!

1147
00:44:06.276 --> 00:44:07.111
- Thank you, thank
you, thank you.

1148
00:44:07.111 --> 00:44:08.145
- [Andrea's Dad] Cheers!

1149
00:44:08.145 --> 00:44:09.847
Never give up, never give in.

1150
00:44:09.847 --> 00:44:13.617
(high intensity music)

1151
00:44:13.617 --> 00:44:16.887
- [Ibtihaj] Today's the
last Olympic qualifier.

1152
00:44:16.887 --> 00:44:19.189
You have a series of world cups

1153
00:44:19.189 --> 00:44:21.759
and domestic competitions
where you can gain points.

1154
00:44:21.759 --> 00:44:25.429
So my goal is to take as
many matches as I can.

1155
00:44:25.429 --> 00:44:28.098
- [Announcer] Today, the
race to Brazil begins

1156
00:44:28.098 --> 00:44:29.433
in southern California.

1157
00:44:29.433 --> 00:44:30.934
- [Coordinator] Guys
ready with your bibs

1158
00:44:30.934 --> 00:44:32.336
or your credentials.

1159
00:44:32.336 --> 00:44:33.370
From this point, only
athletes, athletes only.

1160
00:44:33.370 --> 00:44:35.372
- [Andrea] I love you, dad.

1161
00:44:35.372 --> 00:44:36.774
(indistinct)

1162
00:44:36.774 --> 00:44:37.708
Thank you.

1163
00:44:37.708 --> 00:44:40.911
(high intensity music)

1164
00:44:44.048 --> 00:44:45.716
- [Med Tech] Looking
small there, dude.

1165
00:44:45.716 --> 00:44:47.317
- I know, I stopped working out.

1166
00:44:51.021 --> 00:44:53.991
- Today's the beginning of
a new day for Cam Awesome.

1167
00:44:53.991 --> 00:44:55.426
He came here to get a spot.

1168
00:44:56.660 --> 00:44:58.996
- [Cam] I have four
fights, gotta win three.

1169
00:44:58.996 --> 00:45:01.198
- [Announcer] All
right, about ready to go

1170
00:45:01.198 --> 00:45:04.201
with nearly 400 qualifying
to compete today

1171
00:45:04.201 --> 00:45:07.237
for those spots on
the Olympic team.

1172
00:45:07.237 --> 00:45:09.873
- [Andrea] I have in my
mind kind of a goal time

1173
00:45:09.873 --> 00:45:11.175
I've been training at.

1174
00:45:11.175 --> 00:45:12.776
With the heat, we could
be adding five minutes,

1175
00:45:12.776 --> 00:45:14.511
seven minutes, 10 minutes.

1176
00:45:14.511 --> 00:45:16.747
Because of the weather,
nobody really knows.

1177
00:45:16.747 --> 00:45:18.282
- Flat, look, reach.

1178
00:45:18.282 --> 00:45:19.583
You're gonna crush it.

1179
00:45:19.583 --> 00:45:21.752
- [Abby] This is my last
individual competition

1180
00:45:21.752 --> 00:45:23.020
before Olympic trials.

1181
00:45:23.020 --> 00:45:24.922
So I'm thinking back
to what I did in Rio

1182
00:45:24.922 --> 00:45:27.024
and how I can grow from that.

1183
00:45:27.024 --> 00:45:28.759
(high intensity music)

1184
00:45:28.759 --> 00:45:29.993
I'm not gonna hold back.

1185
00:45:29.993 --> 00:45:31.795
I'm gonna come
out, guns blazing.

1186
00:45:31.795 --> 00:45:33.263
(high intensity music)

1187
00:45:33.263 --> 00:45:34.164
- [Announcer] And
they're on their way,

1188
00:45:34.164 --> 00:45:36.166
205 of them battling it out

1189
00:45:36.166 --> 00:45:38.669
for those three Olympic
marathon runners.

1190
00:45:38.669 --> 00:45:40.604
- [Andrea's Dad]
Let's go, Andrea Duke!

1191
00:45:41.939 --> 00:45:44.875
(high intensity music)

1192
00:45:44.875 --> 00:45:46.143
Here they come.

1193
00:45:46.143 --> 00:45:46.910
- [Announcer] Now
things are beginning

1194
00:45:46.910 --> 00:45:48.112
to warm up a little bit.

1195
00:45:48.112 --> 00:45:49.713
Everyone hydrating,
sponges, waters,

1196
00:45:49.713 --> 00:45:51.415
doing everything they
can to stay cool.

1197
00:45:51.415 --> 00:45:54.751
- [Andrea's Mom] Here
they come, Andrea!

1198
00:45:54.751 --> 00:45:55.786
(crowd cheering)

1199
00:45:55.786 --> 00:45:57.121
- [Andrea] Even
though I'm almost 37,

1200
00:45:57.121 --> 00:45:58.889
my mom's the one at races like,

1201
00:45:58.889 --> 00:46:00.824
"There's my baby!"

1202
00:46:00.824 --> 00:46:02.059
- You look great!

1203
00:46:02.059 --> 00:46:03.293
- Yeah!

1204
00:46:03.293 --> 00:46:04.428
- [Andrea's Mom]
She looked great.

1205
00:46:04.428 --> 00:46:05.329
She was in the
middle of the pack!

1206
00:46:05.329 --> 00:46:06.597
- [Supporter] Yeah!

1207
00:46:06.597 --> 00:46:08.298
- [Cam] I love the
feeling before fight.

1208
00:46:08.298 --> 00:46:09.800
There's like almost
a taste of boxing

1209
00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:12.870
- [Announcer] In the red corner,
United States of America.

1210
00:46:12.870 --> 00:46:13.904
(indistinct)
(crowd cheering)

1211
00:46:13.904 --> 00:46:15.272
- [Cam] Training's my homework,

1212
00:46:15.272 --> 00:46:16.240
the fight's the exam,

1213
00:46:16.240 --> 00:46:17.908
I want to pass that test.

1214
00:46:17.908 --> 00:46:20.077
You never know what judges
are specifically looking for,

1215
00:46:20.077 --> 00:46:22.246
but if you dominate, it's
hard not to get the fight.

1216
00:46:22.246 --> 00:46:23.680
(high intensity music)

1217
00:46:23.680 --> 00:46:25.349
- [Ibtihaj] Pre-match, I'm
fully focused on myself.

1218
00:46:25.349 --> 00:46:27.751
Feeding myself these
positive images

1219
00:46:27.751 --> 00:46:29.953
and having this positive
thought process,

1220
00:46:29.953 --> 00:46:32.723
but then also having a game
plan going into each match.

1221
00:46:32.723 --> 00:46:34.024
- [Supporter] You
got this, come on!

1222
00:46:34.024 --> 00:46:36.894
(high intensity music)

1223
00:46:36.894 --> 00:46:39.363
- [Coach] He's got a
really good opponent,

1224
00:46:39.363 --> 00:46:40.597
the Venezuelan kid.

1225
00:46:40.597 --> 00:46:42.032
He's a strong guy.

1226
00:46:42.032 --> 00:46:44.168
But Dartanyon should be able
to match him with strength,

1227
00:46:44.168 --> 00:46:46.470
so it should be a
real exciting match.

1228
00:46:46.470 --> 00:46:49.806
(high intensity music)

1229
00:46:49.806 --> 00:46:51.608
- [Abby] Not ideal
weather conditions.

1230
00:46:51.608 --> 00:46:55.045
But the weather's gonna be
unpredictable in Rio too.

1231
00:46:55.045 --> 00:46:59.216
- [Elaine] It can be down
to fraction of points.

1232
00:46:59.216 --> 00:47:01.552
You can be going
or staying home.

1233
00:47:02.886 --> 00:47:04.655
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

1234
00:47:04.655 --> 00:47:08.725
(crowd applauding)
(crowd cheering)

1235
00:47:08.725 --> 00:47:09.793
(enchanted music)

1236
00:47:09.793 --> 00:47:11.161
- I'm in the final.

1237
00:47:12.696 --> 00:47:13.831
Ten good dives.

1238
00:47:13.831 --> 00:47:15.365
That's like, that's
all you can ask for.

1239
00:47:15.365 --> 00:47:18.735
And then, you get into a final
and, you know, anything goes.

1240
00:47:18.735 --> 00:47:22.472
(punches landing)
(crowd cheering)

1241
00:47:22.472 --> 00:47:23.840
- [Announcer] It's over!

1242
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:26.310
- I gotta win two
more to qualify,

1243
00:47:26.310 --> 00:47:27.911
three more for gold,
and I want gold medal,

1244
00:47:27.911 --> 00:47:29.613
because it looks good.
(interviewer laughing)

1245
00:47:29.613 --> 00:47:31.949
- Okay, don't go too close
to her, because she's tall.

1246
00:47:31.949 --> 00:47:33.250
Do not hit her straight.

1247
00:47:33.250 --> 00:47:34.918
- [Ibtihaj] Okay.
- Okay?

1248
00:47:34.918 --> 00:47:36.887
- [Ibtihaj] Her advantage
is that she's very tall.

1249
00:47:36.887 --> 00:47:38.589
(fencers yelling)
It can be harder

1250
00:47:38.589 --> 00:47:39.756
to make taller
people fall short,

1251
00:47:39.756 --> 00:47:41.525
because they do
have a longer reach.

1252
00:47:41.525 --> 00:47:42.292
Nice!

1253
00:47:44.394 --> 00:47:47.564
- [Coach] There we go,
excellent, excellent!

1254
00:47:47.564 --> 00:47:50.067
- I feel like on any given
day, I can meet anybody.

1255
00:47:50.067 --> 00:47:53.036
It's just a matter of
using the right tools

1256
00:47:53.036 --> 00:47:54.338
in order to win my matches.

1257
00:47:54.338 --> 00:47:58.909
(punches landing)
(crowd exclaiming)

1258
00:47:58.909 --> 00:48:01.612
(punches landing)
(crowd exclaiming)

1259
00:48:01.612 --> 00:48:03.413
- [Announcer] Blue corner.

1260
00:48:03.413 --> 00:48:04.748
(crowd cheering)

1261
00:48:04.748 --> 00:48:06.717
- Today, I was
very, very pleased.

1262
00:48:06.717 --> 00:48:09.253
With everything that we
asked from him, he delivered.

1263
00:48:09.253 --> 00:48:11.188
- I just have to win one of my
next two fights in any order.

1264
00:48:11.188 --> 00:48:12.489
Don't want to lose them both,

1265
00:48:12.489 --> 00:48:14.992
because that would be no bueno.

1266
00:48:14.992 --> 00:48:16.326
(cheerful music)

1267
00:48:16.326 --> 00:48:17.594
- [Andrea] The Chinese
are great divers,

1268
00:48:17.594 --> 00:48:20.497
and they almost never mess up

1269
00:48:20.497 --> 00:48:23.433
- Butt in, tight core,
high narrow reach,

1270
00:48:23.433 --> 00:48:25.168
lay back flat, look
through the water.

1271
00:48:25.168 --> 00:48:27.571
- [Andrea] I think to have
a shot to beat the Chinese,

1272
00:48:27.571 --> 00:48:29.940
it really only happens
when they do mess up,

1273
00:48:29.940 --> 00:48:31.375
and that's pretty rare.

1274
00:48:31.375 --> 00:48:33.844
- Abby, come on!
- Come on, Ab!

1275
00:48:33.844 --> 00:48:35.379
Come on, Ab!

1276
00:48:35.379 --> 00:48:37.581
- [Andrea] I kind of like the
high pressure finals feeling.

1277
00:48:37.581 --> 00:48:38.982
Usually, I get a
little bit sharper.

1278
00:48:38.982 --> 00:48:41.718
(energetic music)

1279
00:48:45.255 --> 00:48:47.991
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

1280
00:48:47.991 --> 00:48:52.996
(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

1281
00:48:57.567 --> 00:49:00.437
(crowd exclaiming)

1282
00:49:00.437 --> 00:49:01.872
(punch landing)

1283
00:49:01.872 --> 00:49:03.373
- [Cam] I can't
get outta the way,

1284
00:49:03.373 --> 00:49:05.842
I have to catch that punch,
block it, and counter off of it.

1285
00:49:05.842 --> 00:49:07.344
And I'm not used to doing that.

1286
00:49:07.344 --> 00:49:12.349
(punch landing)
(crowd exclaiming)

1287
00:49:13.317 --> 00:49:14.551
(punch landing)
- Oh, one, two!

1288
00:49:14.551 --> 00:49:16.119
(indistinct)
(coach yelling indistinctly)

1289
00:49:16.119 --> 00:49:17.354
(bell dinging)

1290
00:49:17.354 --> 00:49:18.855
- [Announcer] Blue corner.

1291
00:49:18.855 --> 00:49:22.059
(crowd cheering)

1292
00:49:22.059 --> 00:49:23.660
- [Cam] I've gotta
step out of the ring

1293
00:49:23.660 --> 00:49:25.162
and act like this
never happened.

1294
00:49:25.162 --> 00:49:27.364
Just get ready to
fight again tomorrow.

1295
00:49:28.298 --> 00:49:29.566
I know I can win.

1296
00:49:29.566 --> 00:49:32.002
- Hey, last week,

1297
00:49:32.002 --> 00:49:36.073
you know, you start off
like house on fire, okay?

1298
00:49:36.073 --> 00:49:37.474
So let's not chase.

1299
00:49:37.474 --> 00:49:39.710
That doesn't mean
not be aggressive.

1300
00:49:39.710 --> 00:49:40.444
- Mhm.

1301
00:49:40.444 --> 00:49:41.611
- But let's not chase.

1302
00:49:41.611 --> 00:49:42.779
- All right.
- [Coach] All right?

1303
00:49:42.779 --> 00:49:43.814
Okay.

1304
00:49:43.814 --> 00:49:48.518
(high intensity music)
(crowd cheering)

1305
00:49:49.953 --> 00:49:51.621
- [Dartanyon] I'm the only
visually impaired athlete

1306
00:49:51.621 --> 00:49:52.522
that's competing.

1307
00:49:53.857 --> 00:49:56.059
It sort of puts me at
a small disadvantage,

1308
00:49:56.059 --> 00:49:57.894
but my competitor
doesn't know that.

1309
00:49:59.062 --> 00:50:00.330
- [Coach] Let's go now.

1310
00:50:00.330 --> 00:50:01.798
In charge, in charge!

1311
00:50:03.033 --> 00:50:06.336
- [Ibtihaj] This is Anna
Marton from Hungary.

1312
00:50:06.336 --> 00:50:09.005
She's pretty
aggressive on the strip

1313
00:50:09.005 --> 00:50:13.043
and tries to use her strength
to overpower fencers.

1314
00:50:13.043 --> 00:50:14.244
- [Coach] Back!

1315
00:50:14.244 --> 00:50:15.545
- [Ibtihaj] I don't know
where to start with her,

1316
00:50:15.545 --> 00:50:16.413
she's running!
- Don't force it!

1317
00:50:16.413 --> 00:50:17.814
Don't force the fencing.

1318
00:50:17.814 --> 00:50:19.416
- [Ibtihaj] In that small
fraction of a second

1319
00:50:19.416 --> 00:50:20.984
where you're
rethinking an action,

1320
00:50:20.984 --> 00:50:22.652
your opponent's
stealing time from you.

1321
00:50:22.652 --> 00:50:24.021
And that's the difference
between winning a point

1322
00:50:24.021 --> 00:50:27.023
and losing a point.
(crowd cheering)

1323
00:50:27.023 --> 00:50:30.927
- [Coach] If you don't know
how to lose, you cannot win.

1324
00:50:30.927 --> 00:50:35.799
We learn here to fail and fail
and fail in order to succeed.

1325
00:50:37.000 --> 00:50:38.068
- [Announcer] Welcome
back to Los Angeles

1326
00:50:38.068 --> 00:50:40.837
and the US Olympic
marathon trials,

1327
00:50:40.837 --> 00:50:44.408
where the temperature now
is 75 degrees in the shade,

1328
00:50:44.408 --> 00:50:45.776
what shade there is.

1329
00:50:45.776 --> 00:50:48.078
The hottest olympic
marathon trial ever.

1330
00:50:49.679 --> 00:50:51.815
- [Andrea] All I can think
of is stay in a pack,

1331
00:50:51.815 --> 00:50:56.420
get closer, use the other
girls to help block.

1332
00:50:56.420 --> 00:50:57.454
But don't be afraid.

1333
00:50:58.455 --> 00:50:59.589
Don't be afraid.

1334
00:50:59.589 --> 00:51:01.725
(energetic music)

1335
00:51:01.725 --> 00:51:03.860
- I just gotta tell
her to slow down.

1336
00:51:05.195 --> 00:51:06.797
- [Referee] Okay, listen,
keep your heads up,

1337
00:51:06.797 --> 00:51:07.998
keep your punches up.

1338
00:51:07.998 --> 00:51:09.800
No holding, no
punch in here, okay?

1339
00:51:09.800 --> 00:51:11.068
Touch gloves, good luck.

1340
00:51:11.068 --> 00:51:13.437
- A win here will
secure my spot for Rio.

1341
00:51:13.437 --> 00:51:15.372
(energetic music)
(buzzer buzzing)

1342
00:51:15.372 --> 00:51:16.540
(coach drowned out by buzzer)

1343
00:51:16.540 --> 00:51:18.341
- [Announcer] Round one.

1344
00:51:18.341 --> 00:51:22.779
- [Cam] After four or
five days of fighting,

1345
00:51:22.779 --> 00:51:24.448
it's like 15 rounds,

1346
00:51:24.448 --> 00:51:28.652
and we go basically balls to
the wall for all nine minutes.

1347
00:51:30.187 --> 00:51:34.691
Sometimes, I almost black out
and it's exhausting mentally.

1348
00:51:34.691 --> 00:51:37.360
- [Andrea] I mean, I've
been hot in workouts,

1349
00:51:37.360 --> 00:51:39.229
but nothing like this.

1350
00:51:39.229 --> 00:51:42.599
When we hit the sun again,
it just, it blasted me.

1351
00:51:42.599 --> 00:51:44.935
You know, the stars in my head.

1352
00:51:44.935 --> 00:51:46.069
I was tingling.

1353
00:51:46.069 --> 00:51:51.007
(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

1354
00:51:51.975 --> 00:51:53.810
Do you want me to keep going?

1355
00:51:53.810 --> 00:51:56.646
- Go, go, go, go, go, go!

1356
00:51:56.646 --> 00:51:57.948
- [Supporter] Come
on, you can do it!

1357
00:51:57.948 --> 00:51:59.115
(crowd cheering)

1358
00:51:59.115 --> 00:52:00.417
- [Andrea's Mom] We've
never heard Andrea say,

1359
00:52:00.417 --> 00:52:04.254
"Should I keep going?"
(high intensity music)

1360
00:52:04.254 --> 00:52:08.258
- If feel this bad at mile 12,
I don't, what am I gonna...

1361
00:52:08.258 --> 00:52:10.861
Like, how is it gonna
get any better than this?

1362
00:52:10.861 --> 00:52:13.230
- She's gonna be devastated
if she can't finish.

1363
00:52:13.230 --> 00:52:14.197
- [Coach] Set, come on!

1364
00:52:16.900 --> 00:52:18.135
- All right, here we go!

1365
00:52:18.135 --> 00:52:19.236
- [Coach] Here we
go, baby, let's go!

1366
00:52:26.109 --> 00:52:26.877
Come on, come on!

1367
00:52:26.877 --> 00:52:30.113
(high intensity music)

1368
00:52:36.520 --> 00:52:37.587
(Dartanyon thudding on mat)

1369
00:52:37.587 --> 00:52:39.656
Ugh!
(melancholy music)

1370
00:52:39.656 --> 00:52:42.459
(crowd applauding)

1371
00:52:42.459 --> 00:52:45.095
Guy shot in, got behind
him, rolled him over.

1372
00:52:46.096 --> 00:52:47.664
It's a mistake.

1373
00:52:47.664 --> 00:52:49.666
Judo is an unforgiving sport.

1374
00:52:49.666 --> 00:52:51.168
Two seconds into the fight,

1375
00:52:51.168 --> 00:52:53.003
10 seconds from the
end of the fight,

1376
00:52:53.003 --> 00:52:54.871
and it can just slip away.

1377
00:52:56.740 --> 00:52:58.508
- [Dartanyon]
Wasn't in the match,

1378
00:52:58.508 --> 00:53:00.010
wasn't mentally prepared for it,

1379
00:53:00.010 --> 00:53:01.444
wasn't physically
prepared for it.

1380
00:53:01.444 --> 00:53:02.245
Just wasn't there.

1381
00:53:03.914 --> 00:53:05.615
- [Coach] Sometimes, I
forget the difference

1382
00:53:05.615 --> 00:53:09.819
in a sighted guy and a
visually impaired guy is a lot.

1383
00:53:09.819 --> 00:53:11.154
You can't tell with him,

1384
00:53:11.154 --> 00:53:13.423
because he adapts to
everything so good.

1385
00:53:13.423 --> 00:53:16.159
(melancholy music)

1386
00:53:22.299 --> 00:53:27.170
- [Andrea] My first DNF, did
not finish, in 46 marathons.

1387
00:53:28.605 --> 00:53:32.909
I had my moments where I
thought, what did I just do?

1388
00:53:34.210 --> 00:53:36.646
But then the voice in
my head just said like,

1389
00:53:36.646 --> 00:53:38.315
"It's okay."

1390
00:53:38.315 --> 00:53:39.349
You're fine.

1391
00:53:39.349 --> 00:53:40.283
- No, no, I'm sorry.
- No, no, no, no!

1392
00:53:40.283 --> 00:53:41.151
You're not, no.

1393
00:53:43.420 --> 00:53:44.721
I'm at peace, I'm okay.

1394
00:53:44.721 --> 00:53:46.156
- [Andrea's Dad] Okay.

1395
00:53:46.156 --> 00:53:48.224
- I'm okay.
- [Andrea's Dad] You're good.

1396
00:53:48.224 --> 00:53:51.061
- And you know, we don't know
how today's gonna turn out.

1397
00:53:51.061 --> 00:53:52.362
There comes that
fork in the road

1398
00:53:52.362 --> 00:53:53.263
where you have to go
sometimes by yourself.

1399
00:53:53.263 --> 00:53:55.365
(bell dinging)

1400
00:53:55.365 --> 00:53:58.835
(coaches yelling)

1401
00:53:58.835 --> 00:54:00.003
- Stop, stop!

1402
00:54:00.003 --> 00:54:00.837
You don't listen to me.

1403
00:54:00.837 --> 00:54:02.405
Stop diving in!

1404
00:54:02.405 --> 00:54:03.640
It's boxing!

1405
00:54:03.640 --> 00:54:05.375
(punches landing)
(crowd cheering)

1406
00:54:05.375 --> 00:54:06.876
- There you go,
let's push him back!

1407
00:54:06.876 --> 00:54:09.512
There you go!
- [Coach] Let's go!

1408
00:54:09.512 --> 00:54:14.317
(bouncy music)
(crowd yelling)

1409
00:54:20.957 --> 00:54:23.293
(buzzer dinging)
- Stop, stop, stop!

1410
00:54:23.293 --> 00:54:25.595
Well done, well done.

1411
00:54:25.595 --> 00:54:30.634
- [Announcer] House racer,
the winner of all points

1412
00:54:30.634 --> 00:54:32.102
by slip position,

1413
00:54:36.306 --> 00:54:37.440
red corner!

1414
00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:38.608
(crowd cheering)

1415
00:54:38.608 --> 00:54:41.878
(announcer drowned
out by cheering)

1416
00:54:41.878 --> 00:54:43.146
- I talked a bit too much,

1417
00:54:43.146 --> 00:54:45.148
and in the last
couple of contests,

1418
00:54:45.148 --> 00:54:48.151
you've heard it back
to type what he knew.

1419
00:54:48.151 --> 00:54:50.854
So we gotta go back and regroup.

1420
00:54:51.955 --> 00:54:54.457
(melancholy music)

1421
00:54:54.457 --> 00:54:56.159
- [Cam] I've been trying
for this Olympic thing

1422
00:54:56.159 --> 00:54:58.194
for over a God damn decade now,

1423
00:54:58.194 --> 00:55:00.263
and it's starting
to get exhausting.

1424
00:55:04.200 --> 00:55:04.934
for came up to me and said,- [Dt

1425
00:55:04.934 --> 00:55:06.469
"Hold your head up."

1426
00:55:06.469 --> 00:55:07.470
That's about it.

1427
00:55:07.470 --> 00:55:09.639
- I'm not really
worried about it.

1428
00:55:09.639 --> 00:55:12.242
This is all building
blocks for the trials,

1429
00:55:12.242 --> 00:55:14.978
because without
winning the trials,

1430
00:55:14.978 --> 00:55:17.347
it's, you know, the year's over.

1431
00:55:17.347 --> 00:55:19.516
- [Dartanyon] It
keeps you humble,

1432
00:55:19.516 --> 00:55:23.019
where I can come back and
reflect on it and learn from it.

1433
00:55:23.019 --> 00:55:26.423
None of this changes my
path to the Olympics.

1434
00:55:26.423 --> 00:55:29.092
I just gotta show up and do
what I need to do at trials.

1435
00:55:30.760 --> 00:55:32.128
- Win, lose, or draw.

1436
00:55:32.128 --> 00:55:34.397
What we're looking for
isn't a big picture

1437
00:55:34.397 --> 00:55:35.565
like we did in London.

1438
00:55:35.565 --> 00:55:38.234
He has bronze, the next is gold.

1439
00:55:38.234 --> 00:55:39.235
(bouncy music)

1440
00:55:39.235 --> 00:55:41.237
- [Cam] I thought I did well.

1441
00:55:42.205 --> 00:55:44.474
But I always think I do well.

1442
00:55:44.474 --> 00:55:45.442
Pretty much a blur.

1443
00:55:51.281 --> 00:55:53.817
I've got two more
shots at qualifying.

1444
00:55:53.817 --> 00:55:55.151
I'm just gonna get
this outta my mind

1445
00:55:55.151 --> 00:55:56.786
and move on to the next fight.

1446
00:55:58.054 --> 00:56:01.191
I don't have a not going
to the Olympics plan.

1447
00:56:02.158 --> 00:56:06.162
(lighthearted music)

1448
00:56:06.162 --> 00:56:09.199
- I soaked it all up
and did what I could,

1449
00:56:10.467 --> 00:56:12.602
and I have no regrets.

1450
00:56:12.602 --> 00:56:13.536
I don't need a medal.

1451
00:56:15.205 --> 00:56:17.073
I don't need a finish time.

1452
00:56:17.073 --> 00:56:18.208
All right, Caroline!

1453
00:56:20.543 --> 00:56:22.746
Beautiful work, Caroline!
(crowd applauding)

1454
00:56:22.746 --> 00:56:26.683
When I come home from
LA, my kids are gonna go,

1455
00:56:26.683 --> 00:56:28.118
"You won the race, right?

1456
00:56:28.118 --> 00:56:30.220
What did you bring me?"

1457
00:56:30.220 --> 00:56:32.856
The next day, I gotta
take 'em to school.

1458
00:56:32.856 --> 00:56:33.857
I gotta take 'em to karate.

1459
00:56:33.857 --> 00:56:34.958
I've gotta do laundry.

1460
00:56:34.958 --> 00:56:36.025
All right, Allison!

1461
00:56:37.160 --> 00:56:40.363
My kids don't care
what my time is.

1462
00:56:40.363 --> 00:56:42.232
My parents don't
care what my time is.

1463
00:56:43.566 --> 00:56:45.502
They think that I'm
already an Olympian.

1464
00:56:48.505 --> 00:56:52.475
(water splashing)
(crowd applauding)

1465
00:56:52.475 --> 00:56:54.144
- [Abby] I was
watching the scores,

1466
00:56:54.144 --> 00:56:55.245
I don't usually
watch the scores,

1467
00:56:55.245 --> 00:56:57.547
but I knew that I was in it.

1468
00:56:57.547 --> 00:57:00.250
And then I saw one of the
Chinese girls mess up,

1469
00:57:01.484 --> 00:57:02.418
(crowd exclaiming)

1470
00:57:02.418 --> 00:57:04.554
and then I knew I could jump up.

1471
00:57:04.554 --> 00:57:06.289
(crowd cheering)

1472
00:57:06.289 --> 00:57:08.224
This is my last Grand Prix,

1473
00:57:08.224 --> 00:57:10.293
and this will be my
last Olympic trials,

1474
00:57:10.293 --> 00:57:11.594
and hopefully, last Olympics.

1475
00:57:11.594 --> 00:57:14.597
And so, I think all of
that has made everything

1476
00:57:14.597 --> 00:57:16.099
a bit more intense.

1477
00:57:16.099 --> 00:57:18.568
(energetic music)

1478
00:57:18.568 --> 00:57:19.969
Okay, super focused.

1479
00:57:19.969 --> 00:57:21.037
You can do this.

1480
00:57:21.037 --> 00:57:23.006
Just relax, do your normal dive.

1481
00:57:27.143 --> 00:57:30.914
(diving board rebounding)
(water splashing)

1482
00:57:30.914 --> 00:57:34.717
(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

1483
00:57:34.717 --> 00:57:37.420
(cheerful music)

1484
00:57:38.454 --> 00:57:40.456
(crowd cheering)

1485
00:57:40.456 --> 00:57:42.559
I'm very happy
getting a silver medal

1486
00:57:42.559 --> 00:57:43.626
is just a good reminder

1487
00:57:43.626 --> 00:57:45.094
that I can perform
under the pressure.

1488
00:57:46.396 --> 00:57:50.400
I think anything that you
do over and over again

1489
00:57:50.400 --> 00:57:53.136
for many years, you become so
emotionally attached to it.

1490
00:57:53.136 --> 00:57:54.671
Like I love diving.

1491
00:57:54.671 --> 00:57:57.340
- [Announcer] United States
of America, Abby Johnston.

1492
00:57:57.340 --> 00:57:59.843
- [Abby] I love
doing it physically,

1493
00:57:59.843 --> 00:58:02.612
but also the rush of it, the
elation I get from competing

1494
00:58:02.612 --> 00:58:04.447
and from performing
well, you know,

1495
00:58:04.447 --> 00:58:07.183
those emotions are pretty
addictive and, you know,

1496
00:58:07.183 --> 00:58:09.085
I don't know what it's
gonna be replaced by.

1497
00:58:09.085 --> 00:58:10.620
(fencers yelling)

1498
00:58:10.620 --> 00:58:13.389
- [Ibtihaj] It went a lot
better than I anticipated.

1499
00:58:13.389 --> 00:58:14.924
I thought it would be
a little bit tighter,

1500
00:58:14.924 --> 00:58:19.996
but I gained a lot of momentum
towards the end of the match.

1501
00:58:21.397 --> 00:58:23.633
And I kind of held onto
like, you know, a good lead.

1502
00:58:23.633 --> 00:58:25.001
(fencers screaming)

1503
00:58:25.001 --> 00:58:27.403
(crowd applauding)

1504
00:58:27.403 --> 00:58:28.571
Good job, girl.

1505
00:58:28.571 --> 00:58:31.641
You're always chasing
this emotional high.

1506
00:58:31.641 --> 00:58:33.476
You wanna be on the
podium every time.

1507
00:58:33.476 --> 00:58:35.845
And those things aren't
necessarily promised to you

1508
00:58:35.845 --> 00:58:39.382
as an athlete, but that
is your ultimate goal.

1509
00:58:39.382 --> 00:58:42.952
- [Barrack Obama] Muslim
Americans enrich our lives today

1510
00:58:42.952 --> 00:58:44.087
in every way.

1511
00:58:44.087 --> 00:58:45.288
They're our neighbors,

1512
00:58:45.288 --> 00:58:47.557
the teachers who
inspire our children.

1513
00:58:47.557 --> 00:58:49.459
They're the sports
heroes we cheer for.

1514
00:58:49.459 --> 00:58:51.895
And by the way, when
team USA marches

1515
00:58:51.895 --> 00:58:53.229
into the next Olympics,

1516
00:58:53.229 --> 00:58:54.564
one of the Americans
waving the red, white,

1517
00:58:54.564 --> 00:58:57.066
and blue will be
a fencing champion

1518
00:58:57.066 --> 00:58:59.903
wearing her hijab.
(crowd applauding)

1519
00:58:59.903 --> 00:59:04.574
Ibtihaj Muhammad, who
is here today, stand up.

1520
00:59:04.574 --> 00:59:05.808
- Yo, come on y'all!

1521
00:59:05.808 --> 00:59:06.676
Let me tell you something.

1522
00:59:06.676 --> 00:59:08.077
This is amazing.

1523
00:59:08.077 --> 00:59:09.612
All right, everybody
sit down real quick.

1524
00:59:09.612 --> 00:59:12.715
My major announcements, since
the president already let it

1525
00:59:12.715 --> 00:59:15.718
out the bag, I might as
let it out the bag myself!

1526
00:59:15.718 --> 00:59:20.323
So Ibti will represent
the United States

1527
00:59:20.323 --> 00:59:22.825
at these Olympic games
in Rio de Janeiro.

1528
00:59:22.825 --> 00:59:23.927
Give her a hand!

1529
00:59:23.927 --> 00:59:25.228
(crowd cheering)
(crowd applauding)

1530
00:59:25.228 --> 00:59:27.263
Let me just say this
to Ibtihaj right now.

1531
00:59:28.498 --> 00:59:30.166
God has blessed you to go

1532
00:59:30.166 --> 00:59:32.201
to the Olympic games
to be a diplomat.

1533
00:59:32.201 --> 00:59:34.270
You're doing this not
just for yourself.

1534
00:59:34.270 --> 00:59:36.806
'Cause all of us, all of
our energy and spirit,

1535
00:59:36.806 --> 00:59:39.876
we put into you to make
sure you get this success.

1536
00:59:39.876 --> 00:59:41.544
Let's give Ibtihaj a hand.

1537
00:59:41.544 --> 00:59:44.414
- I know what the Peter
Westbrook Foundation did for me.

1538
00:59:44.414 --> 00:59:47.317
It allowed me to see
minorities be successful

1539
00:59:47.317 --> 00:59:48.651
in the sport of fencing.

1540
00:59:48.651 --> 00:59:51.988
I think that it
challenges the idea

1541
00:59:51.988 --> 00:59:54.190
that Muslims are any different

1542
00:59:54.190 --> 00:59:56.893
from anyone else in our society,

1543
00:59:56.893 --> 00:59:58.461
that we don't play sports

1544
00:59:58.461 --> 00:59:59.896
or that we're not
on Olympic teams.

1545
00:59:59.896 --> 01:00:02.098
One of the challenges
of of being a minority

1546
01:00:02.098 --> 01:00:04.767
in this country is that
we're constantly being told

1547
01:00:04.767 --> 01:00:05.601
that we don't belong

1548
01:00:05.601 --> 01:00:06.970
or that we're not a part of it.

1549
01:00:07.103 --> 01:00:10.573
So I wanna thank Peter for,
with all of his success,

1550
01:00:10.573 --> 01:00:13.610
remembering that there are
other minority children

1551
01:00:13.610 --> 01:00:17.213
who could benefit from
the beauty of this sport.

1552
01:00:17.213 --> 01:00:18.715
The very first day
we worked together,

1553
01:00:18.715 --> 01:00:21.084
he told me I could be
the best in the world.

1554
01:00:21.084 --> 01:00:22.452
I thought he was crazy.
- Mm, mm!

1555
01:00:22.452 --> 01:00:23.786
- But it was the first
time that I, you know,

1556
01:00:23.786 --> 01:00:27.357
believed that I
could literally be

1557
01:00:27.357 --> 01:00:28.658
among the best in the world.

1558
01:00:28.658 --> 01:00:30.526
You want the
younger kids to know

1559
01:00:30.526 --> 01:00:32.095
that they could be
great in anything

1560
01:00:32.095 --> 01:00:33.429
that they wanna be great in,

1561
01:00:33.429 --> 01:00:35.598
as long as they remember
the sense of community,

1562
01:00:35.598 --> 01:00:37.734
the sense of family
that we have here.

1563
01:00:37.734 --> 01:00:40.703
I don't want anybody here to
think that this, you know,

1564
01:00:40.703 --> 01:00:42.672
making an Olympic
team comes easy.

1565
01:00:42.672 --> 01:00:45.842
It is the hardest thing that
I've ever done in my life.

1566
01:00:45.842 --> 01:00:49.479
And I just feel so appreciative
of not just my family

1567
01:00:49.479 --> 01:00:51.547
and my friends, but
everyone here, so thank you.

1568
01:00:51.547 --> 01:00:53.850
(crowd applauding)
(crowd cheering)

1569
01:00:53.850 --> 01:00:55.618
- [Peter] We love
you, you're amazing.

1570
01:00:55.618 --> 01:00:59.422
- [Ibtihaj] Just being in
Rio and representing Team USA

1571
01:00:59.422 --> 01:01:01.758
as a Muslim woman,
wearing a hijab,

1572
01:01:01.758 --> 01:01:05.161
will hopefully provide
a lot of change

1573
01:01:05.161 --> 01:01:08.064
within the way that
we view Muslims.

1574
01:01:08.064 --> 01:01:10.500
I wish that this wasn't a first.

1575
01:01:10.500 --> 01:01:12.635
You know, I wish that
there had been other women

1576
01:01:12.635 --> 01:01:15.772
before me, but it's my reality,
and I kind of embrace it.

1577
01:01:18.641 --> 01:01:21.878
- [Dartanyon] I'm a
visually impaired Black dude

1578
01:01:21.878 --> 01:01:26.382
from Cleveland who
was born into nothing.

1579
01:01:26.382 --> 01:01:28.851
I'm living proof that
you don't need much

1580
01:01:28.851 --> 01:01:29.652
to make a difference.

1581
01:01:29.652 --> 01:01:30.887
You don't need much to be great.

1582
01:01:30.887 --> 01:01:32.088
You don't need much
to be successful.

1583
01:01:32.088 --> 01:01:35.358
You're born with all
the tools that you need.

1584
01:01:35.358 --> 01:01:36.793
You have hope,

1585
01:01:38.261 --> 01:01:39.195
strength,

1586
01:01:40.029 --> 01:01:40.797
compassion,

1587
01:01:42.732 --> 01:01:43.399
love.

1588
01:01:44.834 --> 01:01:45.968
All those feelings

1589
01:01:45.968 --> 01:01:47.770
and emotions are already
embedded into you.

1590
01:01:47.770 --> 01:01:49.605
You just have to know
how to pull them out.

1591
01:01:49.605 --> 01:01:52.141
(sentimental music)

1592
01:01:52.141 --> 01:01:54.577
- [Abby] I've always been
drawn to that spotlight

1593
01:01:54.577 --> 01:01:56.579
and the spirit
around the Olympics.

1594
01:01:58.414 --> 01:02:00.283
Your whole career,
your whole life,

1595
01:02:00.283 --> 01:02:01.951
you want to have this moment

1596
01:02:01.951 --> 01:02:06.355
and it comes down
to one single dive.

1597
01:02:06.355 --> 01:02:09.459
(lighthearted music)

1598
01:02:14.897 --> 01:02:17.166
- [Cam] I sometimes
wonder who I would be

1599
01:02:17.166 --> 01:02:19.702
if I didn't take this route.

1600
01:02:19.702 --> 01:02:22.171
All the stamps in my
passport, the people I've met,

1601
01:02:22.171 --> 01:02:23.606
the confidence I've gained,

1602
01:02:23.606 --> 01:02:25.675
the different cultures
I've experienced,

1603
01:02:25.675 --> 01:02:28.344
my whole experience with
boxing cannot be taken from me.

1604
01:02:28.344 --> 01:02:31.114
The only thing that boxing
can do is give me more.

1605
01:02:31.114 --> 01:02:34.617
And I would like to suck every
piece out of it that I can.

1606
01:02:35.551 --> 01:02:38.688
(lighthearted music)

1607
01:02:44.527 --> 01:02:48.131
- [Andrea] It's hard
to not be so wrapped up

1608
01:02:48.131 --> 01:02:50.633
in my pace, my time.

1609
01:02:51.701 --> 01:02:52.935
I'm running for my kids,

1610
01:02:52.935 --> 01:02:54.537
and, you know,
everybody in my life.

1611
01:02:54.537 --> 01:02:59.175
But also, all these
women who say like,

1612
01:02:59.175 --> 01:03:00.276
"Maybe I should try it."

1613
01:03:00.276 --> 01:03:02.278
Like yeah, try it!

1614
01:03:02.278 --> 01:03:03.746
See what you do!

1615
01:03:03.746 --> 01:03:07.717
(energetic music)
There are no correct paths.

1616
01:03:07.717 --> 01:03:10.520
There's no trajectory
that you have to take.

1617
01:03:12.355 --> 01:03:15.057
(energetic music)

1618
01:03:19.095 --> 01:03:21.297
- [Ibtihaj] It feels
like you'll just wake up,

1619
01:03:21.297 --> 01:03:22.532
and it'll all be a dream,

1620
01:03:22.532 --> 01:03:24.400
and you'll be back
heading to practice.

1621
01:03:25.735 --> 01:03:28.037
I've been working
for it for so long

1622
01:03:28.037 --> 01:03:31.007
that I almost had never even
wanted to talk about it,

1623
01:03:31.007 --> 01:03:33.109
'cause I didn't know if
it would ever happen.

1624
01:03:33.109 --> 01:03:34.577
Now for it to be true,

1625
01:03:34.577 --> 01:03:36.112
I can't believe I made the team.

1626
01:03:36.112 --> 01:03:38.815
(energetic music)

1627
01:03:43.286 --> 01:03:46.956
- Being able to say that I
come from inner city streets

1628
01:03:46.956 --> 01:03:48.958
of Cleveland,
where I didn't know

1629
01:03:48.958 --> 01:03:50.626
where my next meal
was going to be,

1630
01:03:50.626 --> 01:03:54.030
to sitting on an eight
hour trip to Rio, Brazil

1631
01:03:54.030 --> 01:03:56.165
to go compete on the
world's largest stage,

1632
01:03:56.165 --> 01:03:57.700
(energetic music)

1633
01:03:57.700 --> 01:04:00.770
it just proves that my past
is not what defines me.

1634
01:04:00.770 --> 01:04:02.371
It's what I'm doing now.

1635
01:04:03.472 --> 01:04:05.041
Can't imagine doing
anything else.

1636
01:04:06.342 --> 01:04:09.111
(energetic music)

1637
01:04:21.224 --> 01:04:23.926
(energetic music)
