"Losing sounds thrilling when it's you I'm against. Anyone else offends me." Ilia says, casual as ever.
"Compliment or insult?" Mikhail asks. The other boy just shrugs.

The International Skaters Training Camp (ISTC) was supposed to be simple for Mikhail Shaidorov.
Train. Improve. Earn his place in the Olympic stage.
Weeks before the Winter Olympics, the world's top skaters gather at a secluded training camp to secure their spot on the upcoming Olympics at Milan Cortina.
For Mikhail, the goal is clear. Skate better than everyone else.
Especially Ilia Malinin.
The problem is that Ilia isn't just another competitor. He's the one name everyone keeps repeating, the skater landing jumps no one else can, someone who already carries an honorable title.
In a place built for skaters that chases perfection, rivalry starts to blur into something more complicated than winning second place.
With the Olympics getting closer day by day.. Would their relationship develop into something more than rivalry?
