Short film about downhill skier Aksel Lund Svindal. Aksel’s remarkable comeback from his Beaver Creek crash in 2007 is a true testament to his superior mental strength. In fact, his focus is so strong that he does not blink once during a 2 minute run…
Regular TV-broadcasted downhill races do not re!ect the actual speeds nor the unbelievable forces which alpine downhill athletes endure. More importantly, it is impossible for the TV viewer to grasp the fear and mental pressure these athletes expose themselves to. Blink of an eye is our attempt to show how raw downhill skiing really is.
