Quite a good film on the subject of sport/love and competition. The film is really nicely shot, released in 1982 it's a good looking film with nice bold colours, good costumes, the actual athletics parts are well photographed and edited. The film takes place in a variety of settings and in all weather. The story is easy to follow, the main protagonist may be seen by some as a bit of a wet blanket, she's often getting injured too and even she admits she may lack that killer instinct her rival has. This is definitely an adult film not for children. I've seen so many predictable and cliched sport films, this isn't one of them though.
