El gran salto (TV Series)

5 episodes. It tells one of the most exciting stories in the recent history of Spanish sports: the life of Olympic gymnastics champion Gervasio Deferr (Óscar Casas). Deferr was a brilliant athlete, perfectionist and rigorous in his sports career. Deferr won two Olympic gold medals in vault in Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004, and a silver medal in floor in Beijing 2008. With a very complex and self-demanding personality, he was unable to manage well the delicate balance of success-failure, and this dragged him into a spiral of self-destruction and lags, which distanced him from his family and friends, until he ended up abandoning sporting competition.
