Synopsis[]

The team from Zanzibar is winning every event in the Winter Olympics despite the fact that they are not even training. The spies go undercover at the games to find out if the team's coach has developed an undetectable way of cheating. They find themselves in hot water, or rather cold water, as Sam and Alex face drowning in an icy lake while Clover undergoes another physical transformation and becomes a super athlete.

In the B-story, the girls all develop a crush on David, but they fight over which one of them he likes the most. In the end, David tells the girls that he likes all 3 of them and that he could never choose between them, but the girls still end up fighting over him.

Trivia[]

  • Clover is allergic to daffodils.
  • Coach was a skilled skier in the 1968 Olympics.
  • The title refers to the phrase: "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." This is often contrasted with the phrase: "Winning isn't everything; it's just the only thing that matters."
  • When listing ice skating moves during her routine, Clover mentions the slapshot, which is actually a hockey move. Either she was joking or confusing 2 different ice sports together.
  • Goof: When the coach tells Clover she will replace Mira, the figure skater, the scene cuts to the girls being tied up, Sam is wearing Alex's yellow catsuit instead of her signature green.
  • Goof: When Sam and Alex fall through the frozen lake Sam's hair comes undone, but as soon as they start crawling on the ice back to safety Sam's hair is in a bun again.
