About
Ik ben blij.' Met deze drie woorden, in combinatie met zijn eeuwige lach, stal Churandy Martina tijdens de Olympische Spelen in Londen de harten van velen. Zijn bijzondere gave om met een lach over sportieve of persoonlijke teleurstellingen heen te stappen, ontwikkelde hij in een proces van vallen en opstaan. Dit is het onthullende verhaal van een jongen uit Willemstad, Curaçao, die een van de succesvolste atleten van de Antillen en Nederland werd.
