Just what does it take to win an Olympic Gold medal? This one hour documentary looks at elite Swedish athletes and what they had to do to get a top podium finish...the training, the sacrifices, the pain and the injuries. One consistent theme is that too many people were over training, especially those at a young age. Anyone with an interest in athletics should find this of interest. Recommended.
