After Chris faints in a bar, Tory drives her home, and they become friends. Tory consoles Chris when she is distressed. After a while, they have sex and fall in love. Coach Terry Tingloff, who is very upset, says Chris can train on his team, but at first he refuses to teach her. Later, Tory successfully persuades Tingloff to let Chris compete in the trials. The team learns that they will compete for a chance at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow. Tingloff gets enraged because Tory asks to not finish the last two events in a race. She wants to help Chris, who is sick, but Chris wants to perform. Chris criticizes Tingloff for his treatment of Tory. Tingloff promises Chris a room, board, and tuition for the next year.

During an argument on their way to practice, Tory and Chris almost break up over how much they worry about each other. While practicing a high jump, Chris dislocates her knee. Tory confesses to moving the mark while showing her how to lengthen her approach in order to lower her center of gravity. This enrages Tingloff. While Chris is undergoing treatment for her leg, Tingloff apologizes for his anger and tells her to stay at his house.
