The 30th edition of the modern Olympic Games is fast approaching, and we have just what you need to put you in the mood! Ready Steady Doc! brings together documentaries from all over Europe to make you see sport in a whole new light: from the Romanian snowboarding scene to speed climbing atop the dizzying heights of El Capitán, from the Homeless World Cup to the bloodiest water polo game in Olympic history, these films have many fascinating stories to tell. An amazing line-up of sport celebrities will attend: manager of the Spanish national football team Vincente del Bosque, French football star Vikash Dhorasoo, three-time water-polo Olympic champion György Kárpáti, Olympic athlete Yvonne Van Bets, and more! So don't miss the perfect chance to meet athletes, learn about historical sporting exploits, and find out more about the personal experiences of people for whom sport is a job, a passion, a way of life.

The starting gun goes off on 16 February so ready... steady... doc!
