With just two years to go before the Olympic Games hit London, this series follows some of Britain's brightest hopes as they sacrifice everything in the hope of getting a place on the Olympic podium in front of a home crowd.

Can boy diver Tom Daley and World Champion heptathlete Jess Ennis hold their nerve and live up to the nation's expectations? And can student nurse and part-time athlete Shaunna Thompson and little-known Judo star Ashley McKenzie break through and become national heroes?

In 2012 the Olympic games will be coming to London, and Britain's top contenders are getting ready. This film follows athletes in three sports - rowing, weightlifting and synchronised swimming - who are training to be the very best for the one moment that could change their lives.

But what happens when their best is not enough? What happens when they fail on an international stage? What happens when you have given up everything for a goal that suddenly seems out of reach?
