Unbeatable Beatrix

Plot

In the year 1990, Riga Cussons is a pupil at a Special Grade School where future sports champions are given specialist coaching under ideal conditions. Riga aims to be a ski champion—Her closest rival, Beatrix Lander, proves hostile and, when Riga asks if she is related to the Beatrix Lander  who was permanently injured trying to become a Junior World Ski Champion twelve years previously, Beatrix vigorously denies any connection. Yet on a visit to the Landers’ house, Riga sees a woman she knows to be the former champion!
