Franziska van Almsick fetches her first Olympic medals cheekily and carefree as a 14-year-old, and at 16 she swims world record. It becomes a growing up before the eyes of a curious nation and is just 22 when she insulted the tabloid press as “Franzi van Speck”. Lars Becker, long -time swimming reporter for the RBB and the ARD, takes you on a journey to her greatest triumphals and her deepest crises, from the beginning in Berlin via Barcelona, Rome, Atlanta, Sydney to the race of her life in “Our Franzi – Being Franziska van Almsick”.
