This approach allowed the public to identify with characters that, beyond their physical skill, must confront deep emotional situations that show that a high -performance athlete is also human.
In addition, these stories usually incorporate unexpected twists that keep the spectator committed, showing that, as in sport, life is full of uncertainties and surprises that test the resilience and character of people.
