Однажды жил быстрый заяц и медленная черепаха. заяц всегда смеялся над черепахой из-за того ,что она такая медленная. все животные устали слушать зайца. и однажды черепаха удивила их всех: давайте устроим завтра гонку! на следующий день когда они начали гонку,заяц попрыгал далеко вперед. скоро он был далеко от черепахи.то был солнечный день и зайцу было жарко. он увидел дерево и решил ,что может отдохнуть под ним.пару часов спустя черепах застала спящего вдруг он открыл глаза и осмотрелся. он увидел черепаху на финише! в этот день заяц вынес урок для себя: продолжай идти и не останавливайся ,пока не дойдёшь до финиша

Synchronised swimming is very popular in many countries of the world. more than a century ago it was known as water ballet, but since 2017 it has been called  artistic swimming.  the russian team is one of the best teams in synchronised (artistic) swimming in the world.  the russian athletes  won the gold medals at the 2016 summer olympics in rio de janeiro. their names are vlada chigireva, natalia ishchenko,  svetlana kolesnichenko,  aleksandra patskevich,  svetlana romashina, alla shishkina,  maria shurochkina, elena prokofyeva and  gelena topilina. n. ishchenko and  s. romashina also won the olympic competition of duets in brazil. the coach of the russian team is tatyana pokrovskaya. but other countries also have strong teams and duets in synchronised (artistic) swimming. for example, the chinese and japanese athletes won the silver and bronze medals in brazil.  the russian athletes were also winners at   the  2017 world aquatics championships in hungary. they won 8 medals (including 7 gold medals). the chinese team won 5 medals (but only one of them was gold).
