The dream of 31-year-old Candy Jacobs from Venlo to participate in the first Olympic Skateboard competition in 2020 is jeopardized a few months in advance when she is injured. This documentary follows her during her rehabilitation, but also during the Olympic Games, which were truly disastrous for her, and focuses mainly on her mental development. This concerns overcoming insecurities and mental blocks when resuming training, but also about the influence that practicing this sport in general has and has had on Candy's personal development. Interesting portrait of a top athlete that you will definitely have your fingers crossed afterwards if she does indeed manage to shine at the Olympic Games in Paris in 2024.

An Aha moment when it turned out that she was the athlete who would miss her competitions at the Olympic Games due to quarantine. And then being completely isolated in a room for 10 days. What a mental ordeal .
Apart from that, not really a fascinating documentary if you have nothing to do with the subject.
