Very faint scene of a young man performing a long jump. Cut to landing shot in slow motion from behind the athlete. Two older men watching standing by and two seated. In the background is a school building. Cut to team shot of three rows of 14 older boys in athletics gear with two adults in suits at either side. A vaulting horse is set up. An adult is watching and a young man vaults over the horse. A second runner vaults over in slow motion. We can see a fence at the edge of the field with semi-detached houses in the background. Similar shot from another angle, adult by the side has removed his jacket and looks like he is ready to assist if required. Very low shot looking up at vaulting horse and boy vaults over. Cut to shot of boy crouching into starting position then running away from the camera.
