Elladj Bald茅 is a professional figure skater from Canada who鈥檚 been back flipping his way over frozen ponds to the sounds of artists like Rhianna. His videos have been viewed millions of times on social media.

Balde was born in Moscow to a Russian mother and a Guinean father, and he hasn鈥檛 always found it easy to express himself in the sport, and now he鈥檚 hoping to change that for the next generation of skaters.

He told Sportshour鈥檚 Caroline Barker about how he came to make his first viral video.
