Trading Places: BBC Documentary
This documentary had Russian gymnasts and British gymnasts trade places. While none of the gymnasts wound up making it big, it is extremely worth watching the shitty quality. The British kids are charming and the Russians have the stereotypical blunt icy arrogance going on when they are asked to do a cheesetastic exhibition. This is an old favorite.
Anna Pavlova can be seen training and competing in this documentary.
The rest of the documentary that is available on youtube is posted after the jump!
Unfortunately, parts 3 and 4 are missing.
