Сделать краткий пересказ текста около 10 предложений. 1. Irina Skvortsova is a professional Russian bobsledder, whose career ended suddenly and tragically on November 23, 2009. During a European Cup training session an error by the judge lead to the collision of two bobs. A German judge wrongfully okayed the descent of the male crew bob, and it crashed at full speed into a female crew with 21-year-old Irina. The girl was on the verge of death.
2. Her injuries were considered incompatible with life. She spent six weeks in a coma and went through numerous surgeries (over 50!), nearly lost her leg — the doctors did not believe she would survive. There was one chance in a hundred, they said, but to get out of the wheelchair — no chance at all … She spent over 11 months in hospital and survived …
3. Later in an interview Skvortsova said, ‘The main problem for me is coping with the psychological side of the trauma. Sport is my world, and being knocked out feels really bad. The physical suffering, too, was quite an ordeal. The pain was terrible, and painkillers did not help much. But my friends cheered me up, and their support was more powerful than any medication.’
4. She believed she would return to the sport in 2014 and catch up with the rest of the team. But after six months of rehab she realised: a career in sport was no longer an option. That terrible accident forced Irina to retire from professional sport, but she didn’t lose heart and set a new goal — to get out of the wheel chair. What she did was a shock for physicians. Though on crutches, she started to walk. After a rehab course she set out on a 10-day trip to Prague with a friend, enjoying the change of environment and the beautiful views of the city. Every morning she left the hotel and spent the whole day strolling round the streets … On her return to Moscow she learnt to drive a car, but her next goal is to walk without crutches … ‘Nothing is impossible!’ is her favourite slogan.
5. In 2012 she graduated from Moscow Pedagogical Institute of Physical Education with a degree in sports psychology — determination and strong will prevented her from falling behind with her academic work. After graduation she took up journalism. Today she works as a TV journalist, interviewing famous people. She also plans to work as a news anchor.
6. Irina’s dream was to take part in the 2014 Olympics. The accident changed her life, but she didn’t give up hope. Though Irina was unable to compete at the Sochi 2014 Olympics, she did participate. She was among the first 10 torchbearers at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Torch Relay.
7. Irina Skvortsova’s story of incredible courage and strength so impressed Russian President Vladimir Putin that he invited her to Sochi to attend the opening ceremony of the Olympics. During the Sochi Winter Olympics opening ceremony at the Fisht stadium former sportswoman Irina Skvortsova was on the podium next to the President of Russia.
