Event Info

KELLY SILDARU shot to international fame in 2016 when, at the age of 13, she won her first gold at Winter X Games. She and her father Tõnis, who acted as her coach and manager, were known as a tightknit team. Coming from a country with no freestyle tradition and modest mountains, carving out a career in the relatively young discipline, they pushed boundaries and broke records. After a seemingly endless string of triumphs, an injury shattered the dream. Kelly missed her long awaited first Winter Olympics. She returned to the podiums the next season to continue her winning streak, make the best season of her life, and sweep three medals at the 2019 Winter X Games, but cracks started to appear in the façade.

In early 2021, Kelly decided to step forward and make a shocking statement to the media – revealing the dark reality of abuse behind the glittering curtain of success. This is a painfully honest portrait of a girl who came through years of mental terror with sheer positivity and hard work.
