THE OLYMPIAN'S GAMBIT

"THE OLYMPIAN'S GAMBIT" is a gripping 6-part historical drama that plunges into the remarkable true story of the 1920 Antwerp Olympic Games. More than a sports saga, it's an intimate, human story of a young woman's awakening. We witness the birth of a nation's identity through its first independent Olympic team, led by a father and daughter whose relationship is tested by ambition, trauma, and a changing world. Their journey is paralleled by the charismatic Australian contingent, including the pioneering Beaurepaire siblings, creating a rich tapestry of rivalry and camaraderie.
The series exposes the raw physical and psychological toll of elite competition in a still-recovering, post-WWI world. It is a story about the universal yearning for triumph, the quiet rebellions that forge true champions, and the unlikely friendships that blossom when two nations, and their athletes, sail into a new era together.
