Synopsis
Ghana’s Akwasi Frimpong faces the ultimate physical test at the Skeleton World Championships. Racing at speeds of 130km/h on icy track, he must remain calm under immense pressure. One mistake could cost him his career. This time, there is support in the stands. His mother is here — she will witness her son compete for the first time. To reach his ultimate goal—the 2026 Olympics—Akwasi must drastically improve his times. But as he gets older, his family responsibilities intensify.
