Olympo – Season 1 Episode 8 Recap, Review & Ending Explained
Amaia is Always Right Episode 8 of Olympo season 1 starts with Zoe at the Olympo medical facility. She doesn't want to get the injection, but has no choice. Just as Biel is about to give her the shot, the other doctor urgently summons him. Zoe sees an unconscious Roque and gets more anxious. Meanwhile, the other athletes are getting ready for the competition that will give them a chance to go to the Olympics. Olympo is sponsoring the event, making Amaia and Christian feel more helpless. Still, Christian is comforted by the thought that they have each other. Amaia confronts Yolanda, telling her that the ADA missed Nuria's doping. Unfortunately, with no hard evidence, the ADA can't do much. However, Hugo and Jana get anxious when they realise that the ADA will be doing blood tests as well that day. What Happens at the World Championship Competition? Hugo and Jana get a bit worried when the ADA start doing the blood tests. Hugo leaves to head back to Olympo to deal with the Roque situation. Thankfully, the doctors are able to save Roque, but he is resisting any more help. He blames Hugo for lying to him. Hugo warns him not to leave Olympo, or he will lose rugby forever. Back at the HPC, Amaia talks to Renata to find out where Zoe is. Renata tells her that she left with Hugo, and they assume that Zoe took the shot. As it turns out, Zoe doesn't take the shot. She escapes and wins her race. This qualifies her to head to the Olympics, but Hugo pulls her sponsorship for stealing the drug. Her parents blame her without listening to her side. Out of anger and frustration, Zoe storms off. As for Amaia, her mom drops by the HPC to remind her that she should win at all costs. This forces Amaia to take drastic measures and causes Fatima to have an accident. Amaia is driven to the edge when Fatima finds her trying to add a laxative into Nuria's water bottle. After Fatima takes a bad fall. Jana declares Nuria the captain, forcing the coach to quit. Amaia volunteers to replace Fatima, but Nuria picks Peque instead. After this, Amaia confronts Nuria, accusing her of abandonment and drug use. Nuria clarifies that sports have never been fair, and she only chose to do whatever it takes to win. What happens after the first day of the competition? Zoe hides out at the cabin and talks to Sebas about Roque. Sebas is still pissed at Sebas, but Zoe asks him to at least talk to the guy. Roque shows up at the cabin and begs for forgiveness, promising to do better. He announces he is done with Olympo, and Sebas forgives him. The three of them wait for Amaia so they can plan how to take down Olympo. Unfortunately, Amaia never shows up. Christian drops by the cabin, looking for Amaia, and also declares he is done with Olympo. Do They Find Amaia? The four of them spent the night and part of the following morning looking for Amaia. The mystery is solved when Amaia shows up as Nuria's duet partner. They all conclude that Amaia betrayed them. Christian is heartbroken that she betrayed him again. They watch with fascination and anger as Nuria and Amaia break the world record for the full water spins. How Does Olympo Season 1 End? The Olympo executives feel pretty smug after getting away with the doping. As they watch, Nuria and Amaia win; they justify their action and start talking about the next steps. Hugo implies that he will deal with Zoe, who is a problem for them. Unfortunately, Yolanda was unable to get solid evidence against Nuria. Nuria had a perfect explanation for why she was in Andorra, and there was nothing Yolanda could do. It is only after everything is set and done that Zoe gives Yolanda the drug she stole from Olympo. Back at the swimming pool, Nuria and Amaia win a spot for the Olympics. Amaia walks by her friends, who look at her like she is Judas. She doesn't get far before she faints and falls into the pool. She sinks to the bottom as everyone watches, horrified. The Episode Review The season ended with a cliffhanger. We don't know if Amaia joined Olympo and took the shot. We have no idea how she convinced Nuria to let her do the duet. More puzzling is that they were able to break the world record. Given that Amaia's body gave out soon after the competition, we can assume two things. It is either that she took the drug and it is giving her some complications, or she didn't take the drug and fainted from exhaustion. Throughout the season, Amaia has been selfish and has always picked herself over everyone else. Her issue was never to save Nuria, but to prove she was doping. She can't stand someone else being better than her. Simultaneously, we also get her concern. It is not fair if her competition is doping. Amaia put in a lot of effort to be the best. She shouldn't lose to someone like Nuria, who took the shortcut. As much as we should work smart, we should also work hard. Seeing how Amaia's mom is with her explains a lot. She is using Amaia to live out her dreams of being an Olympic winner. It is a pity that she pushed her daughter too far. It is unclear what happened to Fatima, but it is highly possible that Amaia pushed her down the stairs. As for Zoe, she won without the shot and made Renata proud. It must have been frustrating for Renata to see Zoe sell herself short every time when she has so much potential. If we do get a new season, I hope Renata gets her flowers, too. We also have Roque. His future is up in the air. Will he recover? What will Olympo do to him? Now that Yolanda has the drug, will she be able to do a more conclusive test? What would this mean for the athletes in Olympo? We have so many questions. Fingers crossed we get another season. Although the writing was all over the place, we still deserve answers. There is nothing more annoying than when a show gets cancelled in the first season after it ends with a cliffhanger!

Olympo ending explained and Season 2 theories explored: What's next for the Netflix's Spanish sports drama?
Netflix's Spanish sports thriller Olympo ends its first season with a chilling and unforgettable finale, leaving fans stunned and full of questions. Set in an elite Olympic training facility, the series exposes the dark truths behind ambition, performance enhancement, and personal sacrifice. As the last episode fades out with Amaia collapsing in the pool and Zoe walking away with damning evidence, it's clear the story is just beginning. Here's a breakdown of the ending, what it really means, and what fans might expect in Olympo Season 2. What is Olympo about? Olympo is a sharp critique of power, exploitation, and the pressure to succeed at any cost. Set in a fictional high-performance centre for Olympic hopefuls, the series follows athletes who are unknowingly used as test subjects for a powerful doping program masked as elite training. Blending sports drama with psychological tension, Olympo dives into personal trauma, institutional abuse, and moral ambiguity — all wrapped in the shiny packaging of Olympic dreams. With its stylish visuals and unflinching storytelling, the show has positioned itself as one of Netflix's most gripping sports thrillers. Olympo ending explained: Amaia's collapse and Zoe's escape The final episode of Season 1 centres around Amaia (Clara Galle), the artistic swimmer who's been under constant pressure from her mother, the institution, and her own desire to succeed. After uncovering the doping conspiracy within the Olympo training program, she initially resists. But when her efforts to alert the anti-doping agency fail and tests come back clean, Amaia gives in and takes the drug herself. Her flawless performance at the Olympic trials is a victory tainted by moral compromise. Moments later, she collapses in the pool, symbolising everything she's sacrificed. In contrast, Zoe (Nira Osahia) makes a different choice. After escaping the facility, she steals a vial of the experimental drug and hands it to the authorities. Her quiet defiance positions her as a major threat to Olympo's future and the face of resistance going into Season 2. Will there be a season 2 of Olympo? While fans are already forming theories, it's important to remember that Netflix hasn't greenlit a second season yet. However, the many twists and turns in Season 1 — including Amaia's collapse, Zoe's bold move, and the unresolved fate of Olympo's secrets — strongly hint that the story was designed with a continuation in mind. The series's strong reception and growing online buzz could influence Netflix's renewal decision in the coming months. Olympo Season 2 theories: Who exposes Olympo? Will Amaia return? With the finale raising more questions than it answers, fans are already speculating about what could happen next: Olympo faces exposure: With Zoe's drug sample in the hands of the anti-doping agency, the investigation may finally begin. But will it be enough to take down a brand as powerful as Olympo? Amaia's fate: Amaia's collapse could lead to serious health complications or a deeper spiral into the world she once tried to escape. Some fans think she may turn against Olympo after realising the cost. Athlete rebellion: With Cristian, Roque, and possibly others growing more aware of the system's corruption, a collective pushback could be coming. More secrets: If the drugs were only the surface-level scandal, Season 2 might dig into how far the control and cover-ups really go — including media manipulation, threats, or even political ties. Will Fatima and Charly end up together? One of the fan-favourite dynamics is between Fatima and Charly, who shared a subtle but emotionally grounded connection. Fatima's calm, introspective nature balances Charly's impulsive intensity. As both characters are caught in their own battles within the system, their bond might deepen in Season 2, especially if they stand on the same side of the coming conflict. However, some fans believe the chaos ahead could pull them apart. Will they support each other through the fallout, or will their personal goals and loyalties get in the way? Either way, their relationship is likely to become more central next season.

Breaking Down the Ending of Netflix Sports Drama Olympo
Warning: this post contains spoilers for Olympo. Olympo is full of drama. From the producers of Elite, the Netflix series follows a group of young adults who train at the Pirineros High Performance Center in Spain, with dreams of World Cup titles and Olympic golds. There's a significant ensemble, all vying for not just glory, but also sponsorship from the clothing brand Olympo, who choose only the most promising athletes to represent them, offering vital recognition that lifts athletes to the next level. 'No one gets to the Olympics without sponsorship,' as the young athletes say. Among them is our protagonist, Amaia (Clara Galle), who trains relentlessly to be the best synchronized swimmer in all of Spain, and by the end of the season, has learned some key information about her cohort. The drug discovery The penultimate episode of Olympo confirms one of Amaia's long-held suspicions: several athletes at Pirineos have been given performance-enhancing drugs. The HPC isn't the only one involved; they are working alongside Olympo to try the drug out on top prospects. The drugs are undetectable, a fact that threatens to destroy competitive sports forever. And at the end of the episode, Charly (Martí Cordero) has some vitriolic and homophobic words for his rugby teammate, openly gay Roque (Agustin Della Corte). Roque (who was given the drugs to heal his broken hand) reacts violently, nearly beating Charly to death while getting a large chunk of glass stuck in his arm. The episode ends with both Charly and Roque lying on the floor, badly bleeding. If that sounds like a lot, just wait til you hear what happens next. The finale finds the athletes preparing for their respective events that'll decide who participates in the world championships. Amaia is still trying to expose the school and sports organization Olympo for drugging athletes, tipping off the anti-doping administration and convincing them to perform blood tests on the athletes. In recovery, Roque wakes to find that he can no longer feel his hand. He begs Hugo to have whatever they've done to him reversed, but Hugo (Sergio Álvarez), a former rugby champion and top player at Olympo, threatens him, telling him that his rugby career is over forever if he keeps complaining. The doctors convince Hugo that he has nothing to worry about, although they warn that traces of the drug can be found if they go digging for it. But the blood tests eventually come back negative, meaning Nuria (Maria Romanillos) and other athletes who took the drug are allowed to participate. The sporting events are underway, and Zoe (Nira Oshaia) wins her race, finding a second wind after her friend Renata (Andy Duato) goes down with an injury. Amaia's life is turned upside down when her mother, a former Olympic champion, arrives to force Amaia back into competition. She tries to take extreme measures to keep from competing, like taking laxatives, but she's found by Fátima (Najwa Khliwa), who stops her. As Fátima leaves, she falls down the stairs, and it's implied that Amaia was the one who pushed her. Fátima took her place in synchro, and by taking her out, Amaia is back in the competition, bringing her one step closer to her lifelong dream of Olympic gold. Except that Nuria, Amaia's best friend, has turned on her. She chooses fellow swimmer Peque (Laura Ubach) over her. It's a move that devastates Amaia, but it turns out it wasn't Nuria's choice. She was forced to make the decision by fellow Olympo executive Jana (Melina Matthews), who is working alongside Hugo to remove the students who are seeking to expose the school for the improper drug use. Among those students is Zoe, who loses her sponsorship with Olympo despite winning her race, because she refused to take the drug. Roque, who also wants to take Olympo down for their treatment of him, both as a gay athlete and for giving him the drugs. Roque sees Olympo as committing pinkwashing, reducing him to his queerness and using his homosexuality to cover up the reality of their drug program. He manages to leave the facility, finding his teammate and boyfriend Sebas (Juan Perales) and Zoe at a nearby cabin, where the athletes often escape to have a good time. They aren't alone in their desire to take down Olympo, and are joined by fellow Olympo sponsor Cristian (Nuno Gallego). Zoe reveals their plan to take out Olympo: she's secured a sample of the drug they've been using to give their athletes an unfair advantage. What happens to Amaia in Olympo? It's competition day for the synchronized swimmers, and Olympo hits us with another surprise: Amaia has regained her spot in the competition, performing alongside Nuria, something they've done for years together. During their epic performance, Amaia and Nuria are immaculate, perfectly matching each other. It's a staggering display, and at the end, they do the unthinkable. They pull off an underwater stunt that's incredibly difficult to perform, and doing it over and over requires inhuman breath control. Nuria nearly died trying to beat the record in the first episode, but here, both she and Amaia sail past the record with ease. It can mean only one thing—Amaia has given in to Olympo and given up her fight against them, taking the drug to achieve perfection. While everyone gives the duo a standing ovation, Zoe and company are devastated, knowing the truth. Amaia has taken the drug and turned on them in the fight against Olympo. Amaia has gone from ringleader in the fight for justice to cracking under the immense pressure put upon her by herself and her mother to achieve greatness. Zoe leaves the arena and finds the tester from the anti-doping association, and gives her a sample of the untraceable drug. As Amaia leaves the pool, she looks her boyfriend Cristian in the eyes, seeing his devastation. But before Amaia can leave the pool, she starts to have a reaction to the drug. She loses her balance and falls in the pool. As she sinks to the bottom of the pool, the season ends. The fight against Olympo may not be over, but Amaia's fall and Zoe's evidence is sure to break the entire fight wide open in the next season of Olympo.
