Olympo – Season 1 Episode 2 'Crying or Winning' Recap & Review
Crying or Winning Episode 2 of Olympo season 1 starts with Zoe and the others trying to resuscitate Nuria. A medical team soon arrives and rushes Nuria to the hospital on site. Amaia refuses to leave and waits for news about Nuria's condition. Zoe joins her, too. The doctor informs them that Nuria is stable, but they can't see her yet. Amaia begs the doctor to run a doping test on Nuria. Zoe is offended and confronts Amaia for saying this. The doctor kicks them out and later calls someone, asking what they gave Nuria. The doctor adds that Nuria's condition is serious. The following morning, Zoe wakes up after having a nightmare about her accident. Renata continues to ignore her. Meanwhile, everyone gets ready to start their day. Roque wakes up to hate comments under his post with the closeted guy. However, he focuses his attention on helping Amaia, who insists on seeing Nuria. The doctor refuses to let them in. Amaia tries to contact Isabel, but she is off campus. Amaia ends up late for her practice, and everyone, including the coach, criticises her. In the locker room, the closeted guy punches Roque. Thankfully, Charlie and Sebas intervene before things escalate. Sebas asks Roque to be careful about his social media presence. On the other side, the coaches worry about Nuria. Amaia tries to bring up the doping subject, but everyone assumes she is jealous of Nuria. At the running field, Zoe fakes an injury to avoid training. In the meantime, Christiana interrupts the artistic swimming training session to talk to Amaia. He tells her that he is leaving, and she makes it all about herself. She accuses him of not putting in enough effort. However, she assures him that nothing has changed between them. In the physio, Zoe shares her concern over Nuria with Renata. Still, Renata doesn't talk to her. Charlie gets on with his usual antics and starts strip dancing. Zoe also strips and gets in the hot tub with Sebas, Fatima and Charlie. They are all curious about Zoe's Olympo sponsorship. Jennifer comes to her defence and takes Zoe away. They head to the sauna, where the other athletes are playing, Would You Rather. The conversation switches to Nuria, and Zoe zeroes in on Amaia. She doesn't mince her words, but Jennifer asks her to stop. Amaia stands up for herself, and another trainer walks in to stop the debate. After this, Renata follows Zoe as she escapes to the woods. She finds Zoe smoking a blunt and takes it from her. Zoe starts chasing her, forgetting she is supposed to have an ankle injury. Renata finally confronts her and warns her to change her attitude before she loses her sponsorship. Zoe comes clean about her legal issues and asks Renata to help her. Back at the centre, Amaia and Roque try to get Isabel so they can see Nuria. Christian is about to leave, but Amaia opts to focus on Nuria instead. She finds Isabel, who takes her to see Nuria. Amaia is shocked to see Nuria unconscious, with Hugo holding her hands. The medical team is forced to drag her out as she cries. In the end, she misses her chance to say goodbye to Christian. Christian is hurt, but Fatima starts flirting with him. Iker picks him up and refuses to wait for Amaia. During the ride, Iker speeds up to teach Christian a lesson about not giving up. Out of fear, Christian agrees that he will stop being a crybaby and focus on winning. Instead of driving back home, Iker switched their destination. On the football field, Javier demotes Roque as the captain and promotes Charlie. Roque confronts him about it, and Javier refuses to tell him the real reason behind the demotion. Roque figures it might be because of the social media post. Roque also overhears Jennifer talking to someone about a doping drug. He sees Jeniffer take something while the other girl refuses to take the drug, saying she doesn't want to turn out like Nuria. During the sparing session, Roque takes down Charlie. Charlie asks Sebas to take down Roque for him. He tries to use a homophobic slur to instigate Roque. However, Sebas seems to take offence too. During the sparring, Roque notices Sebas getting a hard-on and realises that Sebas is gay. On the running field, the coach punishes Zoe by asking her to do more laps. He also shares some sad news with Renata, who starts crying. Zoe questions what is going on, but no one tells her anything. It seems Renata doesn't like being teamed up with Zoe. Later that night, a group of athletes sneak out to a cabin near the school. They start drinking and playing some drinking games. Amaia and Roque discuss the Nuria situation and Roque's dating life. Roque reveals he is over the other guy and into Sebas. Charlie flirts with Amaia, but she turns him down. Sadly, Sebas and Zoe sneak off to the woods to have sex. Sebas fails to get a hard-on, but Zoe plays it cool and assures him it is okay. At the same time, the other guy starts kissing another girl to rile Roque up. Things get intense when Zoe and Amaia go up against each other in a game. Amaia calls Zoe a fraud, and the latter pretty much calls Zoe a friend killer. This triggers Amaia to pour her drink on Zoe and storm off. Roque follows her out and comforts her. He assures her that Nuria's accident was not her fault and agrees to take her to see Nuria. Back at the centre. Renata takes a video of the medical team rushing Nuria to get emergency help. They put Nuria on a helicopter and take off. The Episode Review As we suspected, there is more to Nuria's accident than what meets the eye. At the centre of all this is Hugo. He looks saddened to see Nuria unconscious, but there is a hint of regret on his face, too. He likely wanted to secretly train Nuria to outperform Amaia. His plan was most likely to give Nuria the sponsorship, too. We still don't know why he gave Zoe a sponsorship. There is also evidence that more athletes at the centre are doping, but no one wants to come forward. With Nuria's condition getting critical, maybe someone will. The trainers and staff at this centre are also keeping secrets. Some of them already know about the doping but are protecting the person behind it. Who did the doctor call to ask what they gave Nuria? It is also suspicious how Javier benched Roque and demoted him. In retrospect, I think Zoe is agonising Amaia over the Nuria issue because she feels guilty over whatever happened with Yaiza. She is projecting her guilt onto Amaia. Once we find out more about both accidents, we will be able to understand both characters. As for matters of the heart, things are getting complicated. Amaia didn't see Christian off, and he was probably mourning their relationship. She loves him, but has a lot going on. It is no excuse, and we hope they can solve their issues. Meanwhile, Roque is crushing on Sebas, but Sebas is not even ready to accept himself, let alone think of making a move on Roque. While we are on this, it was nice of Zoe to keep Sebas secret, and she didn't shame him. She made him comfortable and assured him that it was okay. Previous Episode Next Episode

Wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann says he's her ‘hero' — and reveals creepy take on first jailhouse visit
The wife of accused Gilgo Beach serial killer Rex Heuermann says he's her 'hero'' — and that it was like falling in love with him all over again when she first saw him behind bars. Asa Ellerup, 61, said during an explosive interview in the upcoming Peacock docu-series 'The Gilgo Beach Killer: House of Secrets' that she is convinced cops have the wrong guy — and that her 'wonderful' husband isn't the monster who killed and mutilated seven sex workers on Long Island over nearly 30 years. 'I know what bad men are capable of doing,' she told the show, which begins airing Tuesday. 'I've seen it, and I've heard it from other men. Not my husband. You have the wrong man.' 'I want him to come back home to me,' Ellerup said. 'They're trying to sit there and tell me that, but I have no knowledge of what they keep talking about. 'Oh, you must have known.' Know what? My husband was home here. He's a family man, period.' Heuermann, a hulking Manhattan architect, was arrested in July 2023 at his Midtown office and charged with the cold-case murders of three young sex workers. Suffolk County prosecutors later also charged him with the murder and mutilation of four other victims, all also sex workers whose bodies were dumped along Ocean Parkway over nearly 30 years. He allegedly kept news clippings of the brutal slayings in his basement. Despite a mountain of evidence, including DNA matches to all the victims, among them hairs from Ellerup and the couple's daughter, Victoria, the accused fiend's wife continues to believe her husband is innocent. Adopted by Icelandic immigrants, Ellerup met a 'tall, dark, handsome' Heuermann when she was an 18-year-old working at a Long Island 7-Eleven, she said, adding that the pair formed an immediate bond. Ellerup said she was molested at 16 by a classmate, tried to commit suicide and was forced to hide in a dumpster for hours at 19 to foil a kidnapping attempt — making the hulking Heuermann her savior. She said he has stuck with her through more recent travails, too, including a double mastectomy. 'He's my hero,' she said. 'There were times where he was working, but I'd call him, and he would come by and pick me up.' The pair formed a years-long, platonic bond that eventually turned into a romance as their first marriages fizzled and they moved in together — which led to their wedding in Sweden in 1995. The next year, their daughter, Victoria, was born. These days, Ellerup said, she's brought to tears by the Buddy Holly tune 'Crying, Waiting, Hoping.' She denied claims that the couple had 'swinger' parties in the past, calling the notion 'absurd' — and maintained Heuermann would never ask. She appeared to be in denial of some of the evidence Suffolk County prosecutors pulled from the couple's home, including sick porn involving videos, claiming she doesn't know if the footage is actually his. She also claimed her husband didn't solicit hookers, although she said she believes prostitution should be legal. Ellerup filed for divorce shortly after her husband's arrest, but their daughter maintained in the documentary that the move was 'to protect the assets.' Despite the divorce filing, Ellerup said she regularly speaks to her husband behind bars. 'I haven't seen him in all this time, and when I went down there, I was excited, and like I was, I don't know, I guess on a first date. You're nervous, you're scared. You don't know how the date is gonna go,' she said. But she said she hasn't gone to see him in several months and is paranoid about their conversations being recorded behind bars — which makes her afraid to be open with him. 'Telling him that I love him, that will hurt him,' Ellerup said. 'What I want to say to him is, 'I love you, no matter what.' But I don't even want to say 'no matter what' because I don't believe he did this. I don't see what everybody else is saying. I don't see phone calls to sex workers. 'I'm trying to keep myself sane,' she said. 'At the same time, people are saying, 'How could you not know that your husband was a serial killer?' Wait a minute, I picked him up from the train station every single day. He was home here on the weekends. He smoked a cigar in the garage.' 'If he told me that he went out to Lowe's to pick something up and he was gone for an hour, no freaking way is this man going out soliciting sex from a sex worker, killing them and dumping them on Gilgo Beach.' She did have one issue with her embattled husband — she doesn't like his new haircut. Additional reporting by Mikella Schuettler and David DeTurris
