Patty Is Such a Girly Name (Πολύ κοριτσίστικο όνομα το Πάττυ)

One more try for the Greek athlete.

We are now moving into the third minute of the Golden score

of the Judo final for the women's -63kg.

Nobody expected Geraniou to get this far.

She came as a total outsider. Completely unknown.

She has evolved immensely through the year.

Which is owed, to a large extent, also to her coach, Yuri Savvidis,

who was a great athlete in the past.

Geraniou is now going in with an kouchi gari and...

Ippon! Amazing move!

Geraniou wins the Golden Score with an ippon.

Gold Olympic medal in the -63kg weight class for Zoe Geraniou!

This is a huge moment for Greek Judo.

Greece is on the highest position! Huge moment! Huge!

-Did you come for the Karate thing? -Judo...

Yes, yes, sorry, I thought it was the same.

Judo...

First time in Ikaria, right?

First time, yes.

Those are the wings of Icarus.

I suppose you know the myth.

I do.

I tell the story to the tourists sometimes.

They like to hear it.

There she is.

That's her.

Hajime.

Ippon!

What do you think?

Think? My head is buzzing. Seriously, I got a headache. I need an aspirin.

I'm talking about the girl.

Listen. Did she know I was coming? Had you told her I was coming?

Of course, she knew.

And she came whenever she damn well pleased.

You didn't like her.

That's what I understand, that you didn't like her.

I was expecting you to be excited, to congratulate me,

tell me what a star I have discovered.

It's okay, I will send her to Kendavros.

Dmitri has started a new Dojo, I will send her to Kendavros.

Send her to Kendavros.

Send her, then. Why are you telling me? What kind of bullshit is this?

No, sensei, I'm sorry. That was shitty of me, forget it.

I would like you to give her a chance. Just give her a chance.

Shall I call her?

You know Yuri.

Yes. I mean, I don't know him. I've seen him on TV.

So then you know him.

Listen, there will be qualifying games for the Olympics coming up this year.

No ranking, no nothing.

Yuri is getting a team together.

Would you like to go with him to Athens and give it a shot?

Mum! Mum!

I don't understand. What are we even talking about?

Whether she will go or not? She has a chance to go to the Olympics!

This will be good for you as well.

Is that it? You just show up one day and just take her away?

-We've been discussing this for a year! -Where will she live? What will she eat?

Yuri will take care of it. Yuri, please, tell her. Tell her.

The club will take care of it.

And once she is settled in, you and your mother can visit her.

My husband's mother.

Okay, your husband's mother.

And what is this sports club called? Where is it?

It's in Perama. We haven't got a name yet. It's a new club.

What do you need a new club for? What happened to the old one?

Well, things don't always work out the way we expect them to.

I had to make some changes.

And what if she doesn't make it? What happens then?

In professional sport, we only think about winning.

As difficult as it may seem.

Does it seem like we have gotten it easy?

You see three women and think we are expecting help from someone?

We aren't expecting anything, from anyone.

What happened to her father?

She lost him when she was young. Around five or six years old.

He was one of those people preparing fireworks and explosives for Easter.

One blew up in his hands.

The kid was there too.

Can I ask you a question, sensei?

What changed, and you came back to the sport?

I changed.

If you ever want to discuss it... The stories going around, I mean...

I am here.

Shall we go?

-What is your weight? -Around 54kg.

"Around"? You have to know the exact number.

Categories are divided by weight, don't you know?

-I do. -What?

I know.

You are going to be competing at -57kg. That's your weight class.

That means that you must reach 56,9kg. No more, no less.

So... This is yours.

PATTY IS SUCH A GIRLY NAME

What kind of car is this?

It's a LADA.

It's old, isn't it?

Very old. This is more than double your age.

Mr. Yuri, can I ask you something?

You can ask me anything you want, but don't call me mister.

Where does the name Yuri come from? I've never heard of it before.

From Batumi.

What is Batumi?

Batumi is a place in Georgia. That's where I am from. Georgia.

I came here when I was three years old.

Yiorgos is my name. People called me Yuri and it got stuck with me.

Batumi is far away, right?

Very far.

Here we are. This is the house.

Babis, the owner, is a friend. I rent it off from him.

He lives downstairs.

He is a strange guy, the house is his mother's,

we don't mess with any of the things, okay?

You will come to the Dojo at 10am, to lift weights.

You will run there, it will take you half an hour.

You will rest in the afternoon and at 5pm you'll be back at the Dojo.

Food. Babis has a COFFEE SHOP down the road, that's where you will eat.

I have arranged it with him.

Chips, pizzas, and stuff like that, are off the table. Also, medicine.

You don't even take a painkiller without me knowing.

And no going out late, drinking, boys, or smoking, or I'll send you back.

Take some rest, I will pick you up in the evening.

Starting tomorrow, you will come on your own.

Here is your diet plan. Here are your keys.

Welcome.

Just because you pay for one ouzo,

you buggers expect to also have snacks come with it?

What do you think I am?

Hello.

Welcome, kid. What's up? Are you Yuri's girl?

-Yes. -Good. Have you settled in?

Yes, all good, thank you.

Listen, if you are quiet, calm and behave, everything will be fine.

I'm talking about the house.

What is this?

What does it look like? Artichokes.

Artichokes?

Yeah, why? Don't you like them?

Have something else.

Go downstairs, wash your feet, change, and come back up.

-We start in 10 minutes. -Okay, sensei.

This one is taken, take the next one.

Sorry.

Sorry I snapped at you. I'm Stella.

Daphne.

If I find a towel on the floor again, I'll rub it in your faces.

Hey, Ioulia, there's no hot water.

Yuri! The hot water is off in the girls' showers.

The new girl.

Hi. Gerta, Dina, Ioanna. We call her Jo.

Won't you tell us your name?

It's Daphne. But they also call me Patty.

Where does that come from?

From my last name. Patiri, Patty.

Patty! Very girly name.

What should we call you, then? Daphne or Patty?

Daphne.

Sensei ni rei.

Ichi, ni, san,

shi, go, roku,

shichi, hachi, kyu.

Kyu.

Go wash your feet.

Go wash your feet!

And you. How can you see through that hair?

Go get a haircut and then come back.

Ichi, ni, san...

What is this? Let's go, more energy! From the top, let's go.

Let's go, guys!

Ichi, ni, san,

shi, go, roku,

shichi, hachi, kyu.

Kyu.

Quiet!

And you are?

-Daphne. -What time did I tell you to be here?

You're right, ma'am, my alarm clock didn't...

Don't you ma'am me.

I don't want to be right. I want you to be on time.

-Have you lifted weights before? -No.

Did someone tell you you're gonna stay short?

I've heard that too.

And do you think you're tall now?

On the bench, let's go.

Straighten your wrists. Elbows in and, go.

To the chest.

Controlled moves. With rhythm.

Okay. Randori, let's go.

The three couples here in the front. The rest of you sit down.

Let's go.

And... Hajime.

What do we do now?

About what?

Those who left.

That's their problem.

You must go in stronger, Daphne. Didn't you have breakfast?

Force your body against hers. Feel her body, Judo is all about touch.

Yuri.

I was very happy to hear you're back.

One of these days, take your team and come train with us.
