Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Юлия Ваулина, Джунни Дули 9 класс, Просвещение: Текст в новом учебнике: Top athletes push themselves to their limits to achieve their goals. So athletes who work with a disability are even more to be admired. One name in particular that comes to mind is Russia’s greatest Paralympic hero, Roman Petushkov. Born in Moscow in 1978, Petushkov was pursuing his athletic career when he lost his legs in a car accident in 2006. But he was determined not to let this stop him. He began training for cross-country skiing and the biathlon as sitting events. It paid off; in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada Petushkov won a silver medal for skiing and a bronze for the biathlon. His huge success, however, came at the Sochi Paralympic Games of 2014, when he won no fewer than six gold medals! The first of these i was for the 7.5-kilometre men’s skiing event, sitting. The medal was Russia’s first ever gold at the Sochi Olympics and the Russian president sent Petushkov a telegram to congratulate him. Roman Petushkov’s determination to perform despite the obstacles he had to face has earned him numerous awards and honours. He is now a top name internationally and in 2015 he was named Sportsperson of the Year with a Disability. Текст в старом учебнике: It is not unusual for athletes to push themselves hard to reach their goals. However, not many have dealt with the challenges that Irina Slutskaya has faced. From a young age. Irina learned to cope with health problems. She loved figure skating and didn’t want to let her asthma stop her. Irina knew she could take care of herself and become a champion figure skater. In 1996, she became the first Russian woman to win the Women’s European Figure Skating title. She also won the title in 1997 and finished third at the 1996 World Championship. Over the next few years she continued to improve her skills and win competitions. In 2002 Irina won her first World Championship title. Later that year, she was faced with one challenge that was out of her control. Her mother was very sick and Irina had to stop skating to take care of her. A year later, her mother’s health improved and Irina was ready to return to skating. However, then her own health began to suffer and Irina feared that she would never skate competitively again. Amazingly, Irina began skating again in 2005. She trained very hard and gave her best performance ever. Irina won her second World Championship title in front of her family and friends in Moscow.
