Once the pride of the city, Sarajevo’s 1.2-kilometre-long bobsleigh, luge and skeleton track is now overgrown with weeds, covered in graffiti and riddled with bullet holes from the Bosnian War. Today, it serves mainly as a tourist attraction. For young Olympic hopefuls Hamza, Zlatan and Mirza, however, the track is more than a relic—it’s their training ground. Despite chronic government underfunding for the sport, the boys are buoyed by the steadfast guidance of their seasoned Olympic coach Senad Omanovic, and they dedicate years to refining their technique and turns on the decaying track, which stands as a powerful visual reminder of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s ongoing post-war political struggles. Amid a large population of youth still grappling with economic despair and record levels of unemployment, the three use their sport and their dreams of representing their country in competition as a way to build a brighter, unified future. 'The Track' is preceded by the short film 'Swabber' from local filmmaker Jackie Atkins. At 82, Bobby "Swabber" Swan carves through Kootenay race courses alongside ski racers seven decades his junior. Every Tuesday, this two-time Olympian transforms Whitewater slopes with his homemade "swabber sticks," setting slalom courses that have become his personal training ground. Though time has tempered his speed, it hasn't touched his dedication. Swabber approaches each run with the meticulous focus of someone who understands that mastery is found in the journey itself, not just the finish line.
