In this acclaimed, tense look at the world of Olympic skiing, Robert Redford is a ruthlessly ambitious skier going for the gold with an underdog American team in Europe.

Español
Un atractivo y solitario esquiador (Robert Redford) de un pueblo de Colorado se ha empeñado en convertirse en el rey de las cimas. A pesar de que la tensión y las presiones son cada vez mayores, se va adaptando a la competición al tiempo que aprende lo frágil y volátil que puede ser la fama.

Italiano
La squadra nazionale di sci degli Stati Uniti arriva in Europa per alcune gare. Tra gli atleti c'è il giovane David, solitario e testardo, che sogna di diventare un famoso campione. Quando uno dei suoi compagni di squadra si infortuna, David viene chiamato per sostituirlo, ma lui rifiuta di farlo perché insoddisfatto della posizione di partenza. Durante le gare, però, il suo talento comincia a venire notato e i giornalisti lo segnalano come la promessa dello sci statunitense. Le gare, però, non vanno proprio come David e l'allenatore speravano e la squadra torna in America con un piccolo bottino di premi. L'anno successivo, tornato di nuovo in Europa con la squadra, David vince una gara dopo l'altra, ma il campione austriaco gli dà filo da torcere. Per diventare un grande campione, David dovrà crescere e diventare un uomo.

Français
Pour remplacer son champion qui vient de se casser la jambe, l'entraineur de l'équipe américaine de ski alpin, Eugène Clair, propose Brian pour former l'équipe olympique de ski. Mais un jeune fermier du Colorado semble avoir un avenir prometteur, David Chappellet. Clair lui donne sa chance. Mais lors de sa première course internationale, David refuse de prendre le départ, et crée un conflit dans l'équipe.

Deutsch
Der rasante Sportfilm zeigt Robert Redford von einer völlig neuen Seite: Als Abfahrtsläufer der amerikanischen Nationalmannschaft, der vom Mittelmaß zum Star seines Teams wird. Ein hartes Trainingsprogramm und eine leidenschaftliche Liebe sind für David auf dem Weg zur Olympiade, für die er sich qualifizieren will, die wichtigsten Momente. Selbst als sein Trainer Eugene Claire unzufrieden mit ihm wird und seine Liebe Risse bekommt, gibt David nicht auf, denn er will "Olympisches Gold".

A téli Alpokban megrendezett síversenyen megsérül a legjobb amerikai síelő, ezért a csapat edzője, Eugene Claire megkéri az ifjú reménységét, David Chappelle-t, hogy próbálja meg az indulást a versenyen. A St. Anton-i versenyen David fantasztikus eredményt produkál. Közeleg azonban a sívilágbajnokság és David talán egy kicsit túlságosan is bízik abban, hogy ő lesz a legjobb. Mindent egy lapra tesz fel.

Nederlands
Hij is roekeloos maar kwalificeert zich wel voor de skiwedstrijden van de O.S. Uitkomen voor de V.S. is wellicht niet aan hem besteed, omdat hij een egoïst is, maar als hij de teamgedachte niet koestert kan het alleen maar bergafwaarts met hem gaan.

Když přijde americký lyžařský tým o jednoho ze závodníků kvůli zranění, je pro světový pohár v Alpách vybrán jako náhradník David Chappellet (R. Redford) – slibný, ale samolibý a solitérní mladík z malého města v Coloradu. Ten se brzy po svém příjezdu dostává do konfliktu s rázným trenérem mužstva Eugenem Clairem (G. Hackman), který arogantnímu nováčkovi nehodlá nijak vycházet vstříc. I přes nepřízeň okolností ale Chappellet dosahuje nečekaně dobrých výsledků a jedině pád v závodě v Kitzbühelu zkazí senzaci, kterou mohl vytvořit. Nezbyde mu než přehodnotit svůj dosavadní přístup a začít hledat chyby jinde než u ostatních. Poté jeho hvězda pomalu stoupá a má před sebou olympijské hry, na nichž hodlá vydobýt absolutní triumf.

He tells the romantically very aloof Barbara Jane, who has an eye for Shake, that this is all due to the teachings of "Pyramid Power," under the direction of Friedrich Bismark (Bert Convy). Billy and the other players on the team were instructed to take the motivational course by the team's owner, Big Ed Bookman.
