Personal Best (1982)
Die junge Sprinterin Chris Cahill hat Schwierigkeiten, ihr Potenzial als Athletin auszuschöpfen, bis sie den etablierten Leichtathletikstar Tory Skinner kennenlernt. Während Tory und ihr Trainer Chris beim Training helfen, schließen die beiden Frauen eine Freundschaft, die sich zu einer romantischen Beziehung entwickelt. Ihre Intimität wird jedoch kompliziert, als Chris' Fortschritte sie zu Konkurrenten für die Olympiamannschaft machen.
