Story

Synopsis

Honored Master of Sports, celebrated champion — speed skater Alexey Streshnev feels that his time of success has passed and that it is better to leave the ice rink undefeated than to tempt fate again and again. His decision is opposed by his sports colleagues and his wife, and most importantly — he is the main rival of his former protégé, the young talented athlete Vasily Kurbatov.
