Everyone, come here!
The selected camp members are: No. 1 Fujitani.
No. 2 Matsuno.
And...
Sakai.
These three.
Why? No way.
It's true.
But I was fourth.
It's Coach Sun's decision.
He thinks diving is more than just earning points.
So he chose Tomo?
That's all.
Wow, two divers from MDC.
But Shibuki...
Tomo, smile!
If the winners don't smile, the losers must cry.
You're going to Beijing.
Yes, Tomo! Smile!
You can't win anyway.
Don't fall behind in Beijing.
You won the audience.
You couldn't make the camp with the injury.
The Olympics is not everything.
Right?
It's not like you.
I don't want you to lose.
I couldn't take it.
When I injured my back.
My world ended when I didn't make the Olympic team.
Maybe I was wrong.
I can't think now.
I don't regret that I came here.
Now I know how Grandpa felt.
Shibuki.
I'll go to Beijing.
To become better.
A diver everyone admires, like you.
You get better.
Hey!
It was a good competition.
I enjoyed it.
It's so not... Iike you.
Ouch! Idiot.
Watch it.
You suck.
"Coach Asaki,"
"How's everyone at MDC??'
"Yoichi and I are OK."
"What is Shibuki doing in Tsugaru??'
"I'm sending you pics of our practice."
What is it?
An email from Sakai.
He's improved his technique.
Is it because of Shibuki?
You sound down.
No... I let him go back to Tsugaru.
You did the right thing.
It's his choice.
I'll get ready.
The boys are coming back tomorrow.
Didn't Sakai write you?
What?
Hey there!
Oh, hi!
Take this.
Thanks!
Kyoko.
I got it!
Thank you.
I'll ask Granny to make sashimi and soup.
OK.
Good.
Delicious!
Let's go to a spa.
I have to get up early.
A day trip then.
I've waited so long.
OK, let's go.
Where?
To Sukayu?
No.
Aoni then?
I like it!
Let's go.
When?
Next week?
OK, I'll take a day off!
Shibuki!
You dived here?
Do you still dive?
No, I was busy this summer.
With what?
Sex, mainly.
You've had... a nice summer.
I envy you.
I won't go back.
But why?
I can dive here...
It's vast, the water is clean.
But you have no audience, and no rivals.
No coach.
No one is looking at you.
Is it any fun?
I want to dive with you.
In the pool.
The pool is small, but it's not so bad.
I've changed too.
I trained hard in China to be able to compete with you.
I wonder...
Who missed practice cause of a broken heart?
How did you...?
You told Reiji and Sachi, and the rest.
But I've changed!
Hey!
Fool!
Let's do it!
Won't you stay over?
We have practice.
I see.
It's a secret,
but Coach Sun chose you.
If it wasn't for the injury, you'd have gone.
Tomo worked real hard.
It's your turn.
Sorry.
Let's go, Tomo.
We'll be waiting for you.
Here.
It came 3 days ago.
COACH KAYOKO ASAKl
Shiraha Okitsu... Grandpa!
Grandpa.
He looks so happy.
What's this?
Last time, you went to Tokyo because of your Grandpa.
This time, go for yourself.
Really?
Do your best,
Iose and come back home.
10m!
How's your back?
It's OK.
Alright. Fujitani, 10m.
Higher!
Head up!
A bit to the right.
Have you heard of the swan dive?
Swan dive?
Your grandfather's favorite technique.
101A.
Forward straight dive.
But beautiful, like a swan.
I'm sure you can do it.
Swan dive...
In the air it was good.
Follow through to entry.
OK.
What?
I want to try 207B.
A 3.5 back dive, now?
That is your weak group.
I want to become better.
It's unnecessary.
You must perform a perfect composition.
Don't get any ideas.
The future of MDC depends on you.
Don't forget it.
Yes.
Yes, I understand.
Yes, thank you.
Goodbye.
What happened?
Actually...
Everyone, come here!
I just got a call from the Federation.
They've decided on the Olympic squad.
Why so early?
Who will go?
Two divers.
Kenichiro Teramoto.
And from MDC, Yoichi Fujitani.
Fujitani, get ready.
We'll go to the Federation.
We're leaving in 10 minutes.
Fujitani.
But why, why?
Usually the squad is announced much later.
It's too early.
There should be three spots anyway.
Enough.
No, it's not.
You worked so hard.
What's going on?
Chairman Maehara
reduced the number to 2 to secure medals.
If Teramoto's teammate does a low-level jump,
Teramoto's image will suffer.
Do you understand?
Just do what you have to do.
Let's go.
FUJlTANl ABSENT
Hello.
It's me.
Papa?
Is he still sick?
I guess so. He won't leave his room.
You guess?
Ask him yourself.
You're his father.
We don't need a coach at home.
Yes?
Yoichi, it's for you.
So what do you think?
It doesn't feel right.
I've lost motivation.
It's the first time I've skipped practice.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance.
Don't miss it.
It doesn't feel real.
A perfect composition.
The best teammate for Teramoto.
MDC savior Yoichi Fujitani.
That's ridiculous.
Let me show you something.
OK, 10m!
4.5 turns?
You don't get it.
Hold your legs lower.
Again.
He's training twice as hard.
Again, 10m.
OK, see you.
Enough for today. You're exhausted.
One last dive.
No, I said enough.
Do you hear me?
Just one!
I said no! Get down here!
Support his head.
OK.
I'm sorry. I'm fine now.
You scared us.
But it's good that you're OK.
Why did you do it?
The Olympic dream is over.
Why do you keep doing it?
The dream may be over,
but the dragon is still alive.
Dragon?
The concrete dragon.
The first diving tower I saw looked so huge and powerful.
Like a big dragon.
The concrete dragon.
That's what I've been calling it since then.
As long as the dragon lived, I had a chance.
A chance?
To be free.
I felt so cramped by the limits.
Crushed in a tiny box.
Limits?
The early selection of only two divers,
and the ambitions for medals are limits.
But,
making the 4.5 turns
is far beyond that.
Very far!
That's why I want to dive.
What is it?
Do you know Chairman Maehara?
He was a friend of my grandfather.
I must see him.
What for?
I'm a busy person.
You have 5 minutes.
Actually, 4.
What do you want?
I withdraw from the Olympic team.
Alright. I'll think about it.
Let me explain.
There's nothing to explain.
There's still time.
I thought you were a smart boy.
Does your father know?
The coach doesn't matter.
By quitting, you jeopardize the future of your club.
Your father will suffer the most.
I guess dad is
my limit.
I don't understand.
He's not my father.
He's just my coach.
All my life, I've been diving for dad and the club.
That's my limit.
With each win, I get lonelier.
I never questioned it.
But it's over.
The thrill is gone.
Is that all?
Yes.
Time's up.
The star of Japan's diving,
Kenichiro Teramoto,
received a ticket to the Olympics.
His excellent performance in
the World Series
gave him a spot in the team.
I am sorry
for what I did.
Fool!
Should I tell them?
Go ahead.
The Federation
will hold trials to decide who will take
the one remaining spot.
The winner must get at least
500 points.
500?
That's tough.
No way.
It's impossible.
Right now,
Teramoto is the only diver who can raise this score.
Chairman Maehara is ready to send a one-man team.
We won't let him.
I'll raise 500 points.
We can do it.
Sure we can.
Let's go!
What?
Is it true you'll resign?
If no one makes the Olympic team,
the club is over.
I'll make it.
I gave it up,
I can take it back.
Teach me 207B.
Coach!
Keep your head up. It's important.
Then bend forward.
Keep it up!
Stretch your arms.
That's right. Once again.
BElJlNG OLYMPlC TRlALS
Mom, Dad!
Tomo!
How are you feeling?
Miu and Hiro are here.
Shut up!
It's OK. Tell them
that I'll nail the 4.5 turns jump
and will go to the Olympics.
I can't go back yet.
Shibuki.
You must win.
Of course.
- The start list? - It's in the office.
Coach!
I promise I'll make it.
The Olympic Trials are about to start.
Only a winner
with a score of over 500 points will qualify.
Such a score
can secure a medal at the Olympics.
That's right.
Mr. Kenichiro Teramoto
is also here today.
Eight divers will compete in the finals.
Tomoki Sakai,
a junior high student tops the ranking.
On his heels is his teammate,
Yoichi Fujitani.
Who should we support?
All three of them.
You're right.
Hey!
Ryo!
Sit here.
Long time!
So you came!
And so it begins!
Well?
He's good.
The three divers of MDC lead the ranking.
Sakai is third,
Fujitani is second,
and Okitsu is first.
Use this.
A spasm?
I'm fine.
It's the pressure.
I'm telling you I'm fine.
Let's see what we can do.
Stretch it.
Relax.
The first half is over. Okitsu leads the ranking.
Only the top 3 divers stand a chance to get
more than 500 points.
Chairman.
Well, hello.
I didn't expect you to let
Yoichi Fujitani compete today.
When your grandfather and I competed,
opposing the Federation was unheard of.
We did as told.
Eager and devoted.
But we won no medals.
Maybe those boys...
I haven't lost hope.
But I won't compromise.
500 points. Not a point less.
Alright!
Good!
Very well.
Fujitani will aim for the top
with a difficult forward dive.
Fujitani?
He has fever.
He felt responsible
and practiced till late last night.
I should have noticed.
He was close.
A careless dive.
Not good.
He messed up.
It's the pressure.
Exactly.
Next is Sakai, third in the ranking, but...
Something's wrong.
He isn't on the platform.
What happened?
What is he doing?
What happened?
Why? Why?
Is he OK?
What happened?
Can you dive?
I'm fine.
Tomo!
Go!
Next, Sakai. 305C, DD 2.7.
With this splendid dive, Sakai still has a chance to win.
The sixth dive.
It's the last one.
Shibuki.
Free dive. 101A.
DD 1.6. Shibuki Okitsu.
He has reduced the level.
A simple forward dive.
Swan dive.
The swan dive was
his grandfather's specialty.
But with such a low level,
he needs top marks to get more than 500 points.
The dive has to be perfect.
Watch me, Grandpa!
10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10.
Score: 48.00.
Total score: 500.05.
He did it! 500.05 points!
The swan dive brought him the first 10 mark so far.
Shibuki, you're just like your grandfather.
Next is Yoichi Fujitani. Current score 402.85.
He will perform a 3.5 turn back dive.
207B, DD 3.6.
Yoichi Fujitani.
What's wrong? Are you OK?
Yes.
Something is wrong.
He must dive now,
or he'll be withdrawn.
I can't watch it.
It's not good.
He'll get no points.
Oh, no.
Quiet please!
My son will dive.
Score: 97.20 points.
He did it! Fujitani too broke the 500 point mark.
It's a draw.
They both made the cut to join the Olympic team.
Are you OK?
Thank you... Dad.
Yoichi...
And last, Tomoki Sakai, with a higher level
for his final dive.
A 4.5 turn jump.
Few are the divers who can perform this jump.
It's a real challenge.
Can this young talent realize his dream?
Tomoki Sakai, 109C, DD 3.5.
Look at it.
The view that only you can see.
I can break the limits!
Dive!
Overcome!
Reach!
I saw it!
