Every week, Alexandre Despatie and Benoît Gagnon welcome different artists and athletes into the care of two Olympic coaches. Divers Marie-Ève Marleau and Émilie Heymans teach the rudiments of their perilous sport to the fearless guests. At the end, competitors take to the springboards and the three-, five- and ten-meter towers where they attempt a spectacular dive before several hundred spectators. With the adrenaline pumping, the divers have to impress the three judges: Olympic medalists Jennifer Abel and Alexandre Despatie, along with Jean-Marc Généreux,the colourful judge of Dancing with the Stars France and choreographer of the American and Canadian versions of So You Think You Can Dance. It’s their job to evaluate LE GRAND SAUT (The Big Leap) and determine which of these novices is the star of the evening.
