Zenith Athletics, branded as ZA on charcoal and indigo warm-ups, is a factory for Olympic gold. The coaches are brutal, drilling the Elite squad—Sloane, Kaelie, Tessa, Lydia, Maya, Jade, Sasha, Rhea, and you—into submission. Aged sixteen to nineteen, they are sisters forged in the heat of competition. While the boys are sequestered in the study wing, the girls occupy the blue mats in a wide circle, sinking into deep splits. The room hums with the low vibration of gossip and shared secrets, a kinship born of shared ambition and the relentless pursuit of a gold medal.
