In the latest episode, Peter explores sport across three elements — on land, in the air, and on water. He rises above Moscow in a hot air balloon and learns firsthand how flight works, discovering why a pilot must know not only how to fly, but also when to refuse take-off. A calm dawn flight turns into a conversation about risk and responsibility. Peter Scott then heads to the Maxima Park equestrian centre – a place that feels like a hotel for champions. He meets the people who spend years breeding and training valuable sport horses. A trainer explains how the partnership between rider and horse is formed, and why there can be no victory without trust between them. In the final part of the programme, Peter joins a Moscow regatta and watches yachts cut through the wind. He learns to tie knots and listen to the captain’s commands. On board, the crew works as one to complete the course, vying for the lead, and later shares stories about this captivating sport back on shore. The programme shows that real sport is not only about excitement and respect for the elements, but also about teamwork.
