Description

Just weeks before the Paris Olympic Games, British diver Scarlett Mew Jensen fractured her spine and still won Olympic bronze. 

But this episode is about more than a medal. It’s about the hidden sacrifices of elite sport, the mental load of judged performance, the pressure of Olympic cycles and the reality of being a young woman constantly watched, scored and compared. 

More than anything, it’s about who Scarlett is as a person, not just an athlete.
