Я хочу рассказать об одной из величайших спортсменок Украины , Яне Клочковой . Она начала заниматься плаванием с шести лет. Еще с детства Яна показывала выдающиеся результаты по плаванию . За свою спортивную карьеру ей удалось установить 50 рекордов Украины . Она дважды представляла нашу страну на Олимпийских играх. Впервые Яна выиграла две золотые и одна серебряная медаль в 2000 году в Сиднее. Второй раз спортсменка завоевала две золотые медали в 2004 году в Афинах. В Сиднее она установила мировой рекорд на дистанции 400 метров и рекорд Европы на дистанции 200 метров комплексным плаванием . За выдающийся талант пловчихи в народе начали называть " золотой рыбкой " . Все заслуги и награды даже трудно перечислить . К сожалению , спортивная карьера не длится долго. В 2008 году Яна покинула большой спорт. Однако ее славные достижения навсегда останутся в истории.
