Russia welcomes Dhani not only with homemade vodka, but also with the chance to become a true Sambo fighter. Sambo, dubbed the art of self-defense without weapons, proves to be a complex and challenging sport for Dhani, but with the help of ballet lessons and a visit to a Russian military base, Dhani finds the inspiration and coordination he needs.

Dhani embraces Italy's natural beauty through its national passion, cycling, as he trains with Olympic and professional cyclists to conquer the mountainous Monte Grappa.

In an attempt to learn the country's national sport of lutte, a form of traditional wrestling, Dhani joins the prestigious stable of one of Senegal's most popular champions, the great 'Bombardier'.
