Rodnina

Rodnina (2025) is a Russian biographical drama by Konstantin Statsky about figure skater Irina Rodnina that you can watch online on iFILM. A frail, sickly girl, she was first put on the ice by parents hoping to toughen her up — and found her calling instead.

From wobbly first steps to the CSKA skating school, her rise runs on stubbornness far more than on gift. Illness, a split with her partner, clashes with her coach — every setback only sharpens her need to come back and win. Vladislava Samokhina plays the young Rodnina, alongside Ivan Kolesnikov, Fyodor Fedotov and Evgeny Tkachuk.

Statsky skips the polished monument and tells the story of a temperament that simply refuses to lose. One for viewers who like sports dramas built on real champions and the Soviet era on screen. Stream Rodnina (2025) online on iFILM.
