Olympic Dreams - 2008 - Last Coach to Beijing

Looped documentary. Four-part series looking at what it takes to succeed in the world of elite sport. With the Olympics looming and athletes fighting for inclusion, the selection process brings conflict, drama and sacrifices from both the players and coaches. The 18 players of the British wheelchair rugby squad have battled desperately to make the 12-man Olympic squad, but their fate lies in the hands of two men - their coaches. The coaches have very different coaching styles, however, and, feeling the pressure of the task, trouble is brewing between the pair of them. The coaches of the GB table tennis team face a very different challenge. Their hopes of overturning years of Chinese domination in the sport and bringing home a precious Olympic medal lies in their ability to tame Paul Drinkhall and Darius Knight, two highly-talented but unpredictable teenagers.
