Plot synopsis
Documentary film about Lidia Pavlovna Skoblikova, the only Olympic speed skating champion who won the first prize six times. She is a legend in the history of world sports. Among the older generations, no one is unaware of her name. The younger generations are interested in her exemplary life: from her first race on broken skis to the champion, welcomed by the whole country and whom Yuri Gagarin, considering it an honor, accompanied on his visit to the cosmonaut training center. Today, the legendary champion is actively working on the development of ice racing among children and adolescents. She is an athlete, whose achievements are unlikely to be repeated by anyone. But why did she become the best forever? This is the question that will be predominant for us.
