Synopsis:
Supergirl overhears two Ionian spies planning to sabotage the upcoming International Athletic Competition. To protect America's athletes, Linda Danvers competes and qualifies in three events, knocking the star athletes to alternates. At the international match, Linda competes again and is sabotaged in each event. Using her powers, she still takes first place in two events. Discouraged by their failure, the spies strike again. This time, Supergirl is able to gain proof against them and have them arrested. She then reveals her part in the competition, which she claims to have been disguised as Linda. The events are then scheduled to be re-run with the real athletes.
