Feature Stream: Nerves of Steel


It's not for the faint-hearted. It's a head-first, full-throttle slide down a winding, icy track, with brutal consequences when things go wrong. It's the recently rediscovered sport of skeleton. And, for four fearless young women from Australia's beaches, it's their unexpected chance at Olympic glory. This exhilarating documentary follows the fate of the team - the athletes, manager and coach - as they hurtle towards the 2006 Torino Winter Games, tracking both the scientific juggernaut and the all-too-human drama on an exhausting six-month tour from Canberra to the US, Canada and Europe.
