Alise Willoughby returns for her fourth Summer Olympics, striving for the elusive gold medal. Coached by her paralyzed husband Sam, a former BMX star, Alise's journey is marked by shared triumphs and tragedies. Despite setbacks, including a crash at the Tokyo Games, she remains steadfast in her pursuit.

Back for her fourth Summer Olympics, Alise Willoughby is determined to secure the gold medal that has long eluded her and her husband, Sam, a former BMX standout left paralyzed by a freak accident.

The couple has weathered countless ups and downs together, with Sam now coaching Alise from his wheelchair. Their dedication will be showcased once more at the BMX course outside Paris, where world champion Alise is a strong contender for gold.

Despite significant challenges, including a crash at the Tokyo Games, Alise's resilience and Sam's unwavering support have kept her focused. As the 33-year-old competes in an age bracket much younger than her own, she draws on her extensive experience to aim for a long-awaited Olympic victory.
