Elladj Baldé came so close to realizing his Olympic dream. As a person of color in the oh-so-white world of figure skating, the Canadian made it almost all the way to the top. But what do you do when your plan doesn’t work out? Elladj grabs his skates and—far from scoreboards and competitions—heads into the Canadian wilderness where he discovers a dream made manifest that feeds his soul: wild ice.
