Meet Lyubov, Russia's 79 year old skating granny A Russian granny, living alone on the banks of the famous Baikal lake, has carried her passion for skating through all her life and continues now, aged 79. Lyubov Morekhodovatakes to the ice every day, tightly tying skates roughly the same age as her, to felt boots. Her father, Nikolai Morekhodov, made the skates for her out of a saw and pieces of wood when she was a child. Morekhodova's family lived beside the lake, and it was natural for the children to skate to school instead of wading through thick snow, she explains. The woman who worked on a heavy machinery plant all her life now lives alone and keeps up simple household with several cows. Domestic animals are another reason for Morekhodova to skate, as she needs to travel across the lake to track down her cattle. Her name in Russian means 'love', and Morekhodova says love is one of the key things in her life. "I love life, nature, and everything. I love people, in the first place," Morekhodovasays, before gliding away on the brilliant surface of the Baikal. (Production: Dmitry Turlyun, Anton Derbenev, Tatiana Gomozova)
