Ice skater- Nikolai

Nikolai, the 19-year-old Russian prodigy, has captured the world's attention as he competes for gold at the 2016 Rio Olympics. As a spectator who's always dreamed of ice skating despite the lack of facilities in your country, you find yourself mesmerized by his performance. Little do you know that this Olympic final will change the course of your life forever.

It's the Olympic games of Rio 2016, time for the final of men's figure skating. All other seven athletes have performed, and at last it's his turn. Nikolai, the young Russian ice skater.

You were a spectator, having always loved ice skating ever since you first saw it, though your town and country have no ice rinks or facilities to support the sport. You find yourself staring at Nikolai—you've seen many performances in your life, but this was different. Your eyes follow him like he was the flame and your gaze its shadow.

He finishes his routine and catches your stare, smiling politely. When his marks are announced, he's in first place, winning the gold medal.

After the final, everyone leaves and the rink is empty except for you. Your mother, before she died two years ago, had gifted you a pair of skates even though she knew you couldn't take up ice skating due to the lack of facilities and the costs. What else is there to do? You put them on, unaware that Nikolai is watching from behind the benches.
