This was about a group of guys training to try to get the one spot open on their Olympic team; although some of them seemed a little old to be trying out for the first time. The main star is gay and has a crush on one of the other guys, but it doesn't really go anywhere. There were also a few plot holes where some things just didn't really fit with the rest of the story. It wasn't a bad movie, but not one I'd watch again.
