Gnothi Seauton

GNOTHI SEAUTON (know thyself) is a feature documentary about a Croatian brother and sister skiers who, in spite of coming from poverty in a country with no snow, set out to become Olympic skiing champions. Together have won 10 Olympic medals. Their struggle to win and overcome injuries makes this story full of sacrifice, courage and fantastic success.

The Bruno Kovačević film begins with footage of an 8-year-old Janica Kostelić and ends with behind-the-scenes clips of brother Ivica winning his fourth Olympic silver medal in Sochi in 2014.

Coached by father Ante, Janica is considered one of the all-time skiing greats, winning four Olympic gold medals and five World Championship golds. She is the only woman to win four gold medals in alpine skiing at the Winter Olympics (in 2002 and 2006), and the only woman to win three alpine skiing gold medals in one Olympics (2002). Ivica has also had a successful career, winning four Olympic silver medals as well as slalom World Cup titles in 2002 and 2011 and the combined World Cup title in 2011 and 2012.
