character information

A former ice-skating champion from the Soviet Union, Jacoba Brink strictly coaches Bibi Dahl in the hope that she will win at the next Olympics. Throughout most of her scenes she appears very serious and speaks her little dialogue with no emotion. However at the end of the film, she appears to be much softer, caring for Bibi and her future. §
