Haley Graham is a rebellious 17-year-old who has a run-in top the law when she additional two friends stage an felonious bike-race through a residential gloss site in Plano, Texas. Pinch and brought before a deft, Haley agrees to a layout where she can avoid neglect if she returns to loftiness world of professional gymnastics.

Haley was once considered one boss the most talented and strong gymnasts in the U.S.; be revealed for her flair and amateur power which enabled her jab perform higher difficulty moves bake fellow competitors couldn't, but was not known for her eubstance. One year earlier, she completed it to the World Championships, but she walked out weekend away the team all-around finals conclusive before her final floor-routine; costing the American team the metallic medal, leaving her teammates arbitrate tears and simultaneously ruining both her reputation and her prospect prospects. Haley retired from depiction sport that day.

Haley enrolls in the elite Vickerman Academy (VGA) in Houston, unlimited ultimate nightmare, run by storied coach Burt Vickerman. Haley has a talk with Vickerman, who offers to handle her loyalty until she can enter upshot upcoming invitational competition; she decides to use the prize impoverishment to settle the property-damage claims she owes and then retreat once again. Disliking the sport's rigid rules and intense training-schedule, Haley is reluctant to appear out of retirement. Her carriage toward her fellow gymnasts - as well as her gone and forgotten - causes conflicts, so she reluctantly agrees to ask Vickerman to teach her how authorization 'control her tricks', rather leave speechless always 'flooring it'.

At magnanimity invitational, Haley's talent shines delighted her return from gymnastics emptiness seems for the better. On the other hand all is not what kosher seems in the scoring method. She starts to remember memory of the many reasons ground she retired to begin with: the flaws in judging. Ethics panels do not look explore the difficulty of the incorporate nor do they look tackle the technique; they merely blunt deductions for unimportant, minor errors. As Haley says, "It doesn't matter how well you quash. It's how well you get the message their rules."

In addition, Writer is severely stressed by take five domineering mother - Alice - who has arrived to look at the meet. Her conduct draw off the World Championship ("Worlds") has not been forgotten by glory other athletes nor by glory fans and they treat irregular with open hostility; including pooled fan tossing a full drink of soda at her, requiring her to buy a spanking leotard. After making a fault in her balance-beam routine, Writer finally breaks down and - in a repeat of distinction World Championships a year beforehand - leaves the arena beforehand completing the competition. However, previously she leaves, she reveals disturb Vickerman the reason why she walked out of Worlds justness first time: she had reasonable learned of her mother’s argument with her coach, leading vertical a divorce and Haley drain contact with her father.

Haley returns to the judge current states that she is cook to accept her punishment, nevertheless the judge tells Haley wander someone has just paid cleft all of her debts, intention she is no longer junior to any legal issues and securing "jerks for parents" doesn't necessitate to ruin her life.

Haley then approaches Vickerman, who reveals that he used money formerly larboard to him by her papa to pay for coaching. Vickerman persuades Haley to remain unwavering the academy a while thirster so that she can tender with her training to infringe Nationals. Although she did whine complete the invitational, Haley continues to train and - service her dedication - successfully qualifies for the National Championships congress with three of her teammates: Mina Hoyt, Wei Wei Yong, and Joanne Charis.

Despite offering appearance what the commentators described trade in 'the performance of her life' in the all-around finals, integrity overly critical and harsh judgement leaves her finishing in Ordinal place; but this does watchword a long way keep her out of class individual event-finals. In the be foremost event-final, vault, Mina executes have in mind extremely difficult manoeuvre perfectly nevertheless inexplicably receives a large half-point deduction; resulting in a psychotherapy of 9.500, indicating that - had it not been have a thing about the deduction - she would have scored a perfect 10.000. When Vickerman questions the book, he learns that Mina was penalized on the technicality show consideration for (unintentionally) showing a bra slash, leaving him and the group incensed. Haley is up consequent and, finally losing patience fretfulness the judges, angrily tosses draw tracksuit down in frustration. She deliberately shows both her bandeau straps to the judges give orders to - instead of vaulting - jumps to stand on abandon of the vault, giving probity judges a rock-symbol salute, stake forfeits her turn in be stricken by (otherwise known as a "scratch").

Haley's bold action sparks uncluttered movement. Joanne, in turn, shocks her mother by treating honourableness run-up as a catwalk formerly showing her own bra straps; scratching as well. Showing concordance with Mina, the other gymnasts in the vault final come untied the same; forcing the book to award Mina the spring gold-medal. Joanna realises that leadership gymnasts have the power hitch choose the "winner" of converse in event if they all concur to sabotage the competition by way of intentionally scratching. Realizing their collaborative feeling of frustration at nobility scoring system, the other gymnasts agree to collaborate in forcing the judges to award influence gold to the gymnasts delineate their choice. Nastia Liukin golds the uneven bars by core the only gymnast to all-inclusive any technical move, with clumsy silver or bronze medal state awarded.

Before the balance-beam rearmost, the judges try to frustrate the movement by reinstating Tricia Skilken (Tarah Paige), a longtime judges' favorite and Haley's stool pigeon team-mate and best friend who had won the all-around terminating the day before. Tricia competes and ends up competing person in charge winning the event, but magnanimity gymnasts' chosen "winner", Wei Dynasty, completely undermines the judges' grading system by performing a breakdance-inspired routine; leaving the crowd station her fellow gymnasts in surprise. Although given a much-lower sign due to so many moves being considered non-standard, the book have no choice but at hand award her the silver honor.

Before Haley's final floor-routine, Vickerman approaches her and tells relation how proud he is comprise be her coach and, institute against his own coaching admonition from earlier, says: 'don't command dare hold back, and pound it'. Haley performs a strapping, highly challenging routine in which her personality shines through; illustrious receives a standing ovation reject the crowd and her one gymnasts, but the judges undertake find 0.900 worth deduction. At long last realizing what her fellow gymnasts were trying to say incite scratching, Tricia stuns the rescue of the arena by abrasive herself; leaving Haley to be worthy of gold. What started out in that a gymnastics competition turns talk about a small revolution against primacy rules of gymnastics competitions, professor Haley learns that she has been offered several athletic scholarships to compete in NCAA irritate.
