Fighting against a lack of tradition and a hostile environment, only one athlete has managed to fulfill his dream of becoming a Skeleton pilot in Spain: Ander Mirambell.

After 17 years in the sports elite and four Olympic Games, he has decided to retire. But not completely.

After a call throughout the country and unique physical and mental selection tests, nine young athletes are chosen to become the first Spanish Skeleton team ever, thus achieving Ander’s plan: to build his legacy. Between constant ups and downs, the nine young athletes try to survive their eleven-day intensive debut training session in one of the most dangerous tracks in the world: the dreaded track of Sigulda, in Latvia.

For most of them it is the first contact with ice. Only three months later, during the Skeleton World Cup in Innsbruck (Austria), two of them receive medals. Here international athletes and coaches talk about their hard beginnings in the world of elite sport, sharing knowledge and other perspectives on what the nine of Sigulda are experiencing, thus opening the world of Skeleton to all audiences while we discover the origins of Ander himself as an athlete through his personal video footage.
