I am sorry but I am very partial about this serial. The story is about four girls training under sticky and rugged circumstances to win at Olympics. All four girls are from contrasting livings and family backgrounds. All have their set of issues and problems but just one thing common in all of them is " the urge to WIN" . This is what makes this one stand out from the rest of same story lines.
The story begins with the entry of a new member in team " Emily Kmetko " . She is apparently the different one, with no official training of gymnastic. However, has practiced on her own for as long as she can remember. Her entry to ' Rocky Mountains Gymnastics Training Center' brings the rest four THREAT to loose. Specially to Lauren Tanner and Kaylie Cruz. The fourth girl ' Payson Keeler ' is a born winner. The first & second season rolls with competition, team playing and bitching between all girls.The serial showcases the life of a gymnast. Season 2 ends with girls winning the Gold Medal at the Worlds.
Payson Keeler:
She is a born star. The only thing she knows is to do gymnastics. She is certainly not up for BOYS. Her attempts always scares others and give proud to her coach. Everyone thought she will be the national champion and eventually the rest of the girls always competed for second, third and fourth levels. Funny but they all knew her potential and her will. The story takes a 360 degree turn after an unfortunate accident of Payson Keeler on uneven bars leaves her not fit for Gymnastics. This changes her world. However as a pide piper , her coach Sasha Belov pulls her out of the depth of sorrows and trains her on more artistic gymnast. This changes her life for ever.
Kaylie Cruz:
She is from a rich and dedicated family . The only girl with a boy friend. However, that never interferes with her gymnastics. Life unfolds after Payson's accident when Kaylie wins the national champion trophy and has to now look forward to Olympics. She also takes a team leader position of payson. But things changes dramatically when she founds out about her mother's relationship with her ex coach, her boy friend cheating on her, her anorexia, and the most 'proving her worth to the world'.
Lauren Tanner:
She is the only child of a rich business man. She is a brat and is not ready to see anyone ahead of her. The only one gymnast lacking team spirit. However, she is the queen of Beems and is the most captivating one. She is the one creating all the confusions, cheating, misunderstandings etc. She is the masala of serial.
Emily Kmetko:
My favorite Emily is from a very needy family. Has a single parent and a special case brother. However, apart from all the problems of her personal life, she has a goal to win. She win hearts quickly because of her fearless and a rock start attitude. Life is never simple and easy for her. Her mother is constantly suffering to collect her fee for the very expensive sport she is indulged in. She is working nights at a pizza corner to earn more money and training at day. Circumstances are always playing against her and she is invariably fighting with them.
Coach Sasha Belov:
The total rock start. The four times Olympic gold medalist and a very strict coach. He is the complete picture of a perfect coach. He is the harshest person on earth at one time but the most supportive at others. He always stands for his team. In season 1 we see Payson getting attracted towards him. However, he explains to her very nicely and takes care of her ever since. He is always helping Emily in fighting with the tricky situations. He is also always with Kaylie and Lauren. Even though at times his team would act against him, he won't leave them. Total Hugs to Sasha Belov.
In total I give this show 5 starts. Waiting desperately for season 3 to come. Check out the video where girls and boys are trying each others equipment:
