We’ll start by talking to a young woman who has decided to introduce a touch of glamour into the world of judo; then we’ll meet a young gymnast whose career has taken her to the depths of depression and the heights of success; after that, we’ll discover what a great challenge it was, to be the first Chinese cyclist to race for a professional American team; and finally, we’ll hear how rivalry on the pitch became friendship off it for two football players, one Chinese the other American.

Athletes often talk about the Olympic dream, about battling against the odds and eventually emerging triumphant. Before the 2000 Olympics, judo competitor Tang Lin suffered a serious injury. It seemed she might not even make it to the Games. In the event, her Olympic dream would come true.
