Sequel of perfect body 1997.

2:56 does anyone know this song?

I used to be a swimmer in primary and high school. In primary school there was a special bus that picked up the WAIS gymnasts early to take them to training. Since my brother and I did swimming in the afternoons my mum told us to catch that bus. It turned out the bus driver even drove my sisters to training when they were in primary school 😂 Since our training didn't start for a while, we would often watch the gymnasts train through the big clear glass which was really cool. Swimming is hard but I doubt it even compares to gymnastics.

He might as well be a army drill sargent

Tell him where to go and leave

The way i see it the coach groomed abused and brainwashed the girls. Caring only about the gold. Prize is everything. The mom finally did what was best for her daughter and not what the daughter wanted.

Bad coachs would rather have them in permanent injury in wheelchair than to bail before getting killed. Bad coaches win gold at any cost. Even at the rist of lives of girls. Prize is all that matters. Good coaches brings out the best and bring the best at full strength not just those who are luckly enough to survive the condition and abuse treatment.

There would be less injuries and less accidents if the girls were allowed to rest heal and eat. Only then could the girls perform at their true best at full strength. They are not machines. Coaches are responsible for the success AND FAILURE of the athletes. Thus are responsible for any injuries the girls go through because of their guidance. I blame the coach for treating them like machines. Only survivor are able to perform though not at their best. Performing with injuries that turn into life ending injuries. Life in a brace or wheelchair or something. With good coaches athletes can reach full potential and perform at their best without risk of permanent injuries.

Theres a way to train athletes properly into champions without treating them like machines that dont need fuel or rest. with bad coaches like the ones who starve students, only survivors make it. The ones who dont have permanent damage. Not necessarily the best ones. Good coaches allow rest and fuel so that athletes will be at full strength. They have no injuries and are able to perform at their best.

Its not worth her training if she is order not to eat. No food means no energy means no strength. Athletes have passed out cause people treat them like machines. Athletes have had permanent damage causing them never again able to do the sport again. Pain killers gets rid of pain but not the source. Those without food are known to pass out in dangerous situations position. Mid air on beans or bars for example. Athletes are forced to choose either risk permanent damage or rest and return with full strength. Soccer gymnastics figure skating dancing etc.

If the child gets hurt brad don't care get over it

I remember this movie

This is a survival stunt no enjoyment

Child gets hurt coach does not care. In his eyes get over it

The best thing to think about when choosing a gymnastics coach is the coach/athlete/parent fit. All 3 parts of the triangle must communicate equally, regularly and consistently. It was like that for me when I did gymnastics at a competitive level and it should be for anyone else.

Is that Aly Raisman at 1:56? It looks like her.

I doubt she's having fun

The coach is very cold hearted not caring at all

The father was right the coach is to hard on them

He makes it out to be a stunt for survival

Not wanting to eat should've been a sign something is wrong here.

Just like in the movie 🍿🎥/ Perfect Body, this one these coaches do not take responsibility at all, is really pissing me off!!!!

The dad wanted Katie/Catie to do this though am so glad that he had stepped - in, said (something), the mom is so stupid!!!! at first etc.....

I have been to alot of gymnastics competitions and none of them had lights dimmed and spotlights on the girls.

Ahhh the good old screaming at the athletes. Glad those days are mostly dead.

Dana is Julissa Gomez of this story, though not the same ending. This is based on the book. If you haven’t read it, I suggest it.

2021 iam here

2021 iam here looking for. Another movie about a gymnast that poison somebody I hope this is it back in the eighties when I was little I'm determined to find a movie cuz I can't find it nowhere and I think it's about Natalia the gymnast from the 80s

This movie is NOTHING like the book

Swoozie Kurtz always looks so perplexed.

Elite gymnastics is brutal. I had to quit to have scoliosis surgery. The years of hell I went through as a gymnast made me stronger, but wiser as to the inherent dangers of the sport I so loved.

Never been able to watch that coach without seeing Elkanah Bent! Cringe

Is she gonna narrate this the Whole Time?! PLEASE NO! THE BOOK WAS SO GOOD!

great movie!! loved this growing up

This has edited out my favorite parts of the movie.

My absolutely favorite!

This movie reminds me of reality shows such as “Dance Moms.”

Coach Greg is a jerk!

This movie does not only apply to gymnasts and figure skaters, but also tennis players, soccer players, and, most recently, race car drivers and martial artists. The other side of young females in sports.

This movie is based on Bella Karolli's girls; Domonique Muchiano and the 4 gymnasts that made the Fab 5 USA OLYMPIC GYMNASTICS TEAM of 1996. I just watched an interview on KZbin with Domonique and they were talking about this movie! The horrific abuse and starvation these girls went through 😞😞😬😬

5:56 that was terribly edited.

5:08 damn straight she’s not going to get there, if she can’t even do a simple handspring. 7 year olds do them.

3:55 bent knees. That’s a deduction. Also, the dramatic gasping on the beam.

Good for the father speaking up. When it's about the safety of these athletes, everything else should go out the window. Rising to challenges is one thing, but doing something dangerous that could permanently damage or kill you is another. You can't be an Olympian if you are dead.

Thanks for posting this movie! Perfect Body had a similar theme, but I thought it was a very good eating disorder themed movie, This one was more themed as all of the horrors that elite gymnasts have to face in general. Also, it depicted that some of the parents were totally intense and insane (Tina comes to mind--"She's not on the gold team! You can't sit in the front row!" Crazy stuff.

Is there a better version of this movie? This is the only one i found now

Katie's dad: "I thought she was just gonna train, and eat, and go to school. No one said anything about an expensive choreographer" Coach Radkin in part 2 at the 2:55 timestamp: "Money. I'm afraid we don't come cheap. Living expenses and basics, $30,000 a year. Tutors, choreographers are extra. Anyway, its the way we do things here."

3:56: "Not enough to compete against the Russians or THE ROMANIANS"?? Rolling my naked eyes & LOL! THE ROMANIAN POWER IN GYMNASTICS IS SO A THING OF THE PAST! "NADIA", HAHAHAHA!

Dancers go through this too , it’s a shame that instructors and coaches are like this. It’s torture to see this , my sister was a gymnast , she loved it until the coach wanted to “ push “ her into a “ Team “ of uptight , stuffy snobs. My mother is a private dance instructor ( the classic art of ballet ) and she’s usually very compassionate with her students. She’s been dancing since I was little, and I even tried it , I even tried gymnastics, I hated it. I didn’t want to end up like this . Your health is not worth pushing yourself this far , ever !

the dad kind of pissed me off he was the one who pushed for Katie to go with the other coach and now he's acting like everything's a problem and he doesn't want anything to do with it
