At the start of the race, with a wink and a smile, both challenged each other to win the first place gold medal. However, unknown to the two of them, at a critical point in the race, this bond of friendship would be put to a severe test as the two friends are faced with making a decisive decision that could potentially tarnish their beautiful friendship. Will they overcome adversity and remain true friends?
