    Good sport drama

    This is the perfect example of drama destined to home audiences and which mission is to bring tears to audiences eyes. I have already seen plenty of this kind of schèmes but it was concerning skiing or running, or even swimming; not jumping. it looks like an actual story. Maybe it is after all, I did not check. The other purpose is to give hope to one's life.
