Mahavir Singh Phogat has always been fanatical about wrestling. He did some amateur wrestling himself, but he did not reach the heights he had hoped to. So, dreaming of an Olympic gold medal, he decided to train his two daughters, Geeta and Babita, to be champion wrestlers.

Kim Fisher was born into a family of diving enthusiasts in California. His father, Mel Fisher was obsessed with the idea of finding treasure.
