Want to dive?
Let's go!
Wow! No splash!
Yoichi is the best!
He's so cool.
Fujitani, watch your legs when you turn.
Sakai, you fell asleep? Dive!
Yes, sir.
Tomo will dive.
Hurry!
It's no good watching him.
You really like him.
I sure do!
But why?
He'll dive!
Alright!
Now!
Quite a dive!
Cut it out already!
You don't pay attention!
You must watch out!
Ryo!
Don't take off his pants when I'm diving!
Did you see it?
Sure I did.
No way!
You're just looking for an excuse.
I'm telling you I saw it.
No way! Ouch!
Hey!
He saw it?
- He didn't. - Let's go.
But Tomo said he did.
How many members?
16 elementary schoolers, 8 junior high students,
and 1 in senior high, 25 in total.
I see.
Wow, she's a looker!
Yeah, she's hot!
Who is she?
Tomo, over there!
Who is she?
Everyone, come here!
Let's go!
Meet your new coach, Ms. Kayoko Asaki.
Quiet! She'll help with your training.
I'm Ryo Ohiro, the best junior high diver here.
Dive.
Instead of introductions, I want you all to dive.
Forward, back, anything.
I'll go first!
Ryo Ohiro!
Enough! You can come down.
No need to dive. Next!
Reiji Maruyama! I'll do 103!
Next!
You couldn't pull it off.
Daisuke lnoue. I'm ready!
Enough. Next!
Tomoki Sakai, ready.
Tomo only?
Really?
He'll jump?
Enough. Come down.
But why?
Come here!
Yoichi will dive.
He'll do it.
Wow! Almost no splash.
He's good!
Make the last rotation 1/4 faster.
It will make entry easier.
Hold that image, and try again.
The rest will practice the initial position.
What? Why?
You can't dive right if you can't stand right.
Get down now!
Yes, Miss.
Hurry!
What's the initial position?
You don't know?
The boys are standing.
Yeah, I see.
Wow!
Shoot! She won't let us dive.
We've been doing this for 2 hours.
This sucks!
Stupid exercises only.
We aren't beginners.
You there, Sakai?
Yes.
Are your parents divers?
Huh, no. Not at all...
Are they athletes?
No.
You've got hyperflexible joints, and long arms and legs.
What's more...
Well, anyway...
Take this.
You can practice outside the pool.
But...
Tomo, what's this?
I'm back.
Hi, Tomo!
"Don't wear socks at home."
"Refine the sensitivity of your feet."
Hey, Tomo.
You must knock.
What's this?
What?
You just missed Miu.
Oops.
Get lost.
Now!
Hello.
Miu, hello. I'm so sorry I forgot...
It's so nice that you called.
I'm sorry.
I went shopping with a friend,
and bought a cute jellyfish toy.
Jellyfish?
Want to see it? It looks like you.
Me? I want to see it.
I'll show it to you at school. And when I was....
One.
Two.
Three.
The stomach!
Keep your head up!
Crouch lower!
Nine.
Fifty.
OK, stop! Keep the pose.
Five minutes.
Five minutes?
I'm done.
I've had enough.
Get back!
Can't take it.
I'll talk to the coach.
Wait!
Why are you letting her coach us?
We want you to be our coach!
Quiet!
You know the club is having financial problems.
The parent company wants us closed.
Coach Asaki convinced them to give us another chance.
Why?
She's the granddaughter of the late chairman.
The board members have no interest in diving.
They'll keep the club, under one condition.
What condition?
The Olympics.
MDC must produce an Olympic diver.
That's why I'm here.
So I'll compete in the Olympics?
The Olympics is the goal?
Who knows?
The Olympics is not for us.
Yeah.
Maybe Yoichi can make it.
He's the son of Coach Fujitani.
A thoroughbred diver.
If my parents were Olympic divers...
No way.
Not even then.
Still, the new coach has big hopes for Tomo.
A pony with no pedigree.
What's that?
I didn't say that.
Cut it!
Hiro.
Yes?
These are your favorite dishes.
Tomo, you never wear socks. Why?
Well, l...
Tell me...
What?
Do you have any ambitions for me?
Any special hopes?
Just that you're healthy and happy, right?
We love you just the way you are.
So Ms. Asaki is the girl
who hurt her back and had to retire.
Went to the US to study coaching.
Thank you.
Are you already done?
You can break your diet now and then.
You want him to quit diving?
It was a joke.
Never joke about this.
The fate of the club depends on him. Right?
Yes.
As for your practice,
do you want to train with Ms. Asaki?
No. I want you to stay my coach.
Alright.
So you're doing self-training.
Yes.
First, physical training!
Competitions are long and exhausting.
Strength and concentration are indispensable.
Yes.
I promise you one thing.
You'll become better.
Pain is the price you have to pay to grow.
And from the top...
You'll see a view no one else can see.
Once more.
Tomo? Are you free today?
Today...
We're going to lshii's today.
Can you come?
I have practice...
Diving again?
We'll ask someone else.
Sorry. Maybe next...
Check my legs when I dive today.
What's wrong?
Why are you so excited? About the Olympics?
She doesn't think you can make it.
Ms. Asaki scouted a new diver.
From Aomori.
Who's that?
Who?
OK, go!
What a splash!
The water stinks.
Come here.
Meet the new member, Shibuki Okitsu.
He won't be your buddy,
but your rival.
Compete with each other!
This is Yoichi Fujitani.
A three-time junior high champion, and MDC's No. 1 diver.
Wow, perfect!
Cool!
Can you dive like this?
He's fast!
The splash!
He's the best!
A perfect twist.
Wow!
That was quite a splash.
No matter how good you are, you can't score with such a splash.
So I should hold myself down so I don't splash?
Tomo, let's go for ( okonomiyaki )!
Or sweet beans.
Maybe next time.
The doomed super diver?
Yeah, a famous diver in the 1 930s.
Because of the War, he couldn't compete in the Olympics.
His name was Shiraha Okitsu.
The new boy's grandfather.
They both used to dive from the Tsugaru cliffs.
He thinks pool diving sucks.
So why is he here?
Revenge... I guess.
Revenge?
For his grandfather.
You both are amazing.
The son of Olympic athletes,
and the grandson of a super diver.
I feel like I want to quit.
But I think you're my real rival.
Really?
Of course not.
You can't even control your calorie intake.
Coach Asaki said to Coach Fujitani...
What?
That you have diamond eyes.
Diamond eyes?
Thank you.
Hello.
Coach Fujitani, may l?
Take a look.
The Beijing training camp trial?
Yes.
A camp for young divers from Asia in August.
The former Chinese team coach will train them.
Coach Sun?
COACHlNG STAFF: SUN WEl
So the Swimming Federation will choose the Olympic divers
from the camp participants?
Definitely.
You're in charge.
Thank you.
Do your best.
One spot in the Olympic Squad
is for the diver with the best results and experience:
Kenichiro Teramoto.
May l...
A shortcut to the Olympics is to finish in the Top 3
of this competition
and go to the training camp.
MDC can send 3 divers
to the trials.
I already chose them.
And they are:
Yoichi Fujitani,
Shibuki Okitsu,
and
Tomoki Sakai.
Wow, Tomo!
That's all.
Tomo, you made it!
You rock!
You worked really hard.
- It's drinking water. - Cute.
It's having fun.
Yeah.
It looks yummy!
I woke up early to make it.
Mom helped too.
I was thinking to do calorie intake control.
Why?
The physique is very important in diving.
I was selected for a very important competition.
And I don't know what to do.
It feels like I'm losing you.
Sorry.
So much is expected of me,
for the first time.
Until now, no one expected much of me.
Just an ordinary boy.
Which wasn't bad, but I felt cramped.
Being ordinary
is a bit stifling.
If I become a good diver,
I might be free.
Let's eat.
Well?
It's good!
Yummy!
Let's go.
One, two, three.
Did you see the mat?
Yes.
OK, next three turns.
Three turns! Ready?
One, two, three.
See, you did it. Saw the mat?
Yes.
OK, once more.
Ready!
TO THE OLYMPlCS! (YEAH, RlGHT!) I CAN DO lT! (MAYBE)
Ryo!
You can't give up!
I won't let you.
We worked so hard.
I kept waiting.
For the coach with a sharp eye,
who would discover me.
And when that coach finally shows up,
she chose Tomo!
Ryo! Ryo!
It's not your fault that he left.
Don't worry.
Diving is an individual sport.
With each win, you get lonelier.
Was he supposed to meet you here?
Yes...
Don't worry. He's just late.
He'll be back soon.
Alright!
Entry position.
105B.
2.5 turns, at 10.
Tomo!
Wow!
2.5 turns!
He did it.
The diamond eyes...
What?
Don't know.
I did it!
This is easy.
Just the first step.
You know what's next?
107, 3.5 turns.
What?
I hardly managed 2.5.
It's impossible.
That's why!
If you make it, you'll be a star.
What?
Stop it!
Once again!
That's all?
Where did you go with Miu?
How did you...?
Why?
Why do you have this?
Tomo...
I'm sorry.
Sorry.
I don't believe it.
Stop it!
He confessed, and you chose him?
It's true!
Why did you confess?
She was my girlfriend.
So what!
I knew you had problems.
It was hard for Miu.
You didn't see it.
We had no problems.
And all the broken promises?
I had to practice... And Miu...
You are important to me!
Liar!
Liar...
Miu!
SAKAl ABSENT
I'll make ice tea...
I won't be long.
Every minute is precious!
What happened?
My brother stole my girlfriend.
Girlfriend?
Your brother?
Stole her?
You fool!
What?
Return to the pool!
No way!
You must!
You don't need me.
You have Yoichi and Shibuki.
They'll make it to the Olympics.
They don't matter. This is your problem.
Or will you just give up?
I gave it all up!
My girlfriend, my friends,
everything.
I gave up sweets, too.
And for what?
He had everything, and he stole her!
It's not fair.
Really?
I don't think so.
You have something that no one else has.
What?
The gift a diver would kill for.
Diamond eyes.
Will it help me
beat Yoichi and Shibuki?
The ability to grasp a large amount
of visual information in an instant.
Momentary vision.
You're born with it.
Divers who have it
can see when to turn and stretch
as a still image.
It's not much use in daily life.
But in diving, it's a big advantage
for high-level performance.
That's "diamond eyes."
3.5 turns?
Tomo did 3.5 turns!
You're kidding?
What went wrong?
Just doing the turns is not enough.
You must perfect the entry.
Once again.
Yes.
It's getting interesting.
Alright!
Wow!
He did it! 3.5 turns!
Once again, while it's still fresh.
OK!
BElJlNG TRAlNlNG CAMP TRlALS
Let's get started.
Coach Sun.
Are you nervous?
Don't be stupid.
How can you not be?
Welcome to the 2007 Beijing lnternational Training Camp Trials.
Small audience.
Diving is not very popular.
I thought you won't come.
But if they don't win, the club...
Don't worry!
Let's cheer them!
It's beginning.
There are 6 types of dives.
Forward,
back,
inverse,
reverse,
twist...
Twist?
And armstand.
Armstand?
All dives have a degree of difficulty, DD.
The DD times the points awarded by referees determine the score.
This diver didn't use the 10m
in order to raise his DD.
Next, 305C, 10m.
DD 2.7. Tomoki Sakai, Mizuki Diving Club.
8.5, 9, 8.5, 9.
8.5, 8, 8.5.
Score: 68.85.
He did it!
Wow!
Tomo did it!
It's the first time he's got a 9.
Shibuki...?
What happened?
It's not like him.
Really?
9.5, 9.5, 8.5, 9, 9.
Score: 78.30.
What are you doing?
You told me not to raise a splash.
I didn't tell you to dive like a coward.
Is that how you dive?
Or is it because of your back?
What do you mean?
Don't try to fool me.
I know you've hurt your back.
With this diving, you'll easily make the second place.
But nothing more... Nothing.
Don't you want to know how your grandfather felt?
Far from the sea,
standing on that platform? Don't you?
With this diving, you'll never know.
The great feeling to dive in front of an adoring audience.
The feeling?
Yes.
Once you feel that,
you won't be able to give up diving.
Next, 107B, 10m.
DD 3.0, Shibuki Okitsu.
High!
Wow! It's high.
So fast!
Wow!
This is our Shibuki!
7, 6.5, 7, 7.5,
6, 6, 5.5.
Score: 58.50.
Shibuki's seventh.
And Tomo is fourth.
Let's go!
Why did he drop to fourth?
The DD was low.
He can't go up, even if the score is high.
He must do his best, to make it into the top 3.
He'll do the 3.5 turns.
Next, 107C, 10m.
DD 2.7, Sakai.
3.5 turns.
He did it!
He did it, right?
He'll make it!
He was close!
The entry wasn't perfect.
Score: 56.70.
Total score: 367.75.
4. TOMOKl SAKAl.
Next 5152B, 10m,
DD 2.9, Fujitani.
Clean!
No splash!
Smooth entry!
Score: 79.75.
