Overview
A television-team makes a surprise visit to an olympic athlete's grandmother. They want to capture her reaction just as her grandson crosses the finish line. Unfortunately, the woman is totally uninterested in sports, and doesn't even have a TV. The interview is a bust, but the team discovers something else that may be the scoop they have been looking for.
