Halfway through the competition, they receive an ultimatum from the Islamic Republic ordering Leila to fake an injury and lose. With her own freedom and that of her family at stake, Leila is faced with an impossible choice: feign injury and obey the Iranian regime as Maryam begs her to do, or defy them both and fight on for the gold.
