  • Life on the edge - One small step (episode 1)


     Share

    We're launching a new docuseries called 'One small step'. The series follows ordinary people who've done extraordinary things, and the small steps that got them there. Often we see the results of hard work but rarely do we find out what it took to achieve greatness.

    Life on the edge, episode 1, follows Fred, a world champion waterskier. Fred has committed his life to waterskiing, a sport that rarely gets much media coverage. In 2023 he won the waterskiing world championship, his greatest achievement. It was a long road to get there - years of cold days on the lake in the dead of winter, dealing with the pressure of competing, and the innate risk that comes with extreme sports. We meet Fred in the summer of 2024, recovering from a broken femur after a brutal collision with a dock - an accident which almost never happens in the sport. Fred recounts his rise to the world championships in the sport that's changed his life, how he almost died in the crash, and the positivity he's feeling around recovery.
