Fast Girls
Fast Girls is a 2012 British sports drama film directed by Regan Hall, and produced by Damian Jones. The film was written by Jay Basu, Roy Williams, and Noel Clarke. The film stars Lenora Crichlow, Lily James, Bradley James, and Rupert Graves. The film follows the story of two women and their race and personal differences as they become professional sprinters and join the British relay team for a World Championship event. The film was released in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2012.
It had originally been intended to base the athletics competition in the film on the 2012 Summer Olympics. Due to tight legal restrictions on the use of Olympic trademarks, the International Olympic Committee disallowed any reference to the Olympic Games in the film, and the script had to be re-written to make the competition a fictional one. Released a month before the 2012 Summer Olympics, Fast Girls had its world premiere in London on 7 June 2012 and was released eight days later in the United Kingdom. The film received positive reviews from critics and earned $1 million at the worldwide box office.
Sprinter Shania Andrews, who lives in a London council estate with her aunt and problematic sister, trains with a fallen-from-grace older coach on a dilapidated track in the suburbs of London. Her diligent training comes to fruition where she wins the 200m dash against the well-known, entitled runner Lisa Temple at a regional track meet. When Shania wins the final heat, the UK Track and Field National Team approaches her as a leg in the 4 x 100m relay team.
While three other team members accept her into the fold, Temple holds a grudge against Andrews from the last race. The rivalry gets toxic and upsets Andrews, and the first exhibition indoor race turns into a disaster, as she had stayed up the previous night, falling back into her past self-destruction behaviour with her sister and dubious friends at the government housing complex. Shania and Lisa (anchor leg and presumed fastest runner) botch the handoff technique and the runners descend into recriminations.
Shania decides to focus on the solo 200m and abandons the relay team in anger much to the dismay of the coach, who is trying to patch things up between the two rivals. Upon arriving back home, her aunt has decided to throw Shania and her partying sister out of the apartment after an all-night party was held there. Shania, now homeless, has to rely on her old coach for training and housing as she works to stay on the team as a single event runner.
After an all-girls night out, relations thaw a bit between the runners, but Shania still refuses to rejoin the team as the 3rd leg. The relay team is formalized, with older runner and British legend Trix Warren as the replacement runner.
At the world championships, held in London before the 2012 Olympics, both Shania and Lisa have disappointing position finishes in the 200m open race, despite personal-best times, as they are easily beaten by dominant US and Jamaican teams. Lisa's father, a past Gold Olympian and UK Olympic chairman, is angry and disappointed. To add insult to injury, Trix tears her hamstring in her 100 metre heat and the team is without a leg of the relay. Trix and Shania have a heart to heart, with the veteran runner lecturing the younger on lost opportunities. Shania rejoins the relay squad but the UK team, yet again, has issues with their underhand handoff technique which takes crucial time off the team's position in the semi-final heat. The UK comes in fourth and does not make the final slot, and the 2 runners end up in a physical fight over the handoff issues.
Due to an out-of-lane technical fault, however, the French 3rd place finishers are disqualified and the UK slips into the finals despite the problems of the runners. However, Shania is thrown off the team by the UK Track and Field oversight committee led by Lisa's father and the team will most likely have to default. Lisa, struggling with her domineering father, is convinced by Shania to confront him and the committee to allow her back in or else Lisa will also resign from the UK team. David Temple is stunned and speechless at his daughter's strong-willed demands and the conversation is left open-ended.
