Plot[]
Season Three opens with Payson, Lauren, and Kaylie heading to the Olympic Training Center, as they prepare for the London 2012 Olympics. They have to deal with a new coach, and new teammates, including a new upcoming gymnast, Wendy, who has more energy to train harder, since she is younger than the more experienced seniors. An uninvited gymnast, Jordan Randall, convinces Coach MacIntire to let her train with the group, causing tensions between everyone. Coach Mac also pairs up the girls, forcing Kaylie to live and work with Kelly Parker and Lauren to work with Payson. They eventually become close friends. Payson's family announce they are going to return to Minnesota. Kelly turns out not good enough for the Olympics and leaves gymnastics. Payson has a new romance with Rigo (Tom Maden). Lauren had originally set Payson up with Rigo's friend, Brad but Rigo went instead to meet Payson. Rigo does not tell Payson about being set up or that she was actually supposed to meet Brad. Lauren begins to deal with some mysterious health issues, which she is keeping it a secret from everyone else. Payson eventually ends up finding out that Lauren has an irregular heart beat, and Lauren ends up having to have heart surgery, which may result in the end of her gymnastics career. Austin is told he has not made the Olympic Team, and blames Kaylie for it. Jordan reveals that a former coach, Coach Keagan, who has been asked to work at the USATC, molested her for years when she was young. Desperate to ensure her spot on the team, Wendy begins to drug Kaylie with a cold medicine containing a banned substance. She snuck it in Kaylie's smoothies without her knowledge. During this time, it is uncertain whether Kaylie will be eligible to stay in the running because she failed her drug tests. After Austin and Kaylie are reunited, Lauren, Payson and Jordan tell the NGO that they are boycotting Olympic tryouts unless Kaylie is allowed to perform. Lauren discovers the secret Wendy has been hiding and exposes her, getting Wendy kicked out for good. The series finale culminates with Payson, Kaylie, Lauren, and Jordan being four of the five girls chosen to represent the United States in the Olympics. They are all best friends except Emily and Lauren sometimes they are frenmies.
