but it's an increasingly active and growing political force, whether in the halls of power themselves or in the voting, in an election that promises to be tight, that force and that could be off from us, some number, such as falls. thank you for watching. the not just another day so much is happening all at once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in the look at these events analyzed by experts and critical thinking is this is the weekdays on d, w i. so i assume one on 6 times to be covering t more people than ever on the worldwide and such. and one is of the appeals

of the unites us. it's the dumps of life always around more testing. we are mounted buttons and we had dragon fly some of my to hold on to some of the video that the menu is a swimming trainer and the oldest member of the team at 61. she came up with the idea of creating a senior women's autistic swimming team, optimizing the current coach, jesus, who had just arrived in town to start coaching children times the last name and address. if i remember perfectly, the 1st call, suppose that i could witness and i said to myself, wow, well, i want to do this. we were very lucky because we didn't just have similar capabilities in the move tab, but we also go so long. well, together it was a constant discovery it down. that's what mostly what we show is synchronized. swimming is an accessible sports. i don't live at this one that has passed. juggling this passion with jobs and families is no easy undertaking. is listed on

my unit this out on the main challenge is organizing our lives so that the 8 of us can practice together. just like a game of tech trys trying to organize our personal and professional lives you familiar. laura is the most devoted swimmer and excellent the captain of the team. so did this one well with the um, if you really want to make it useful, you have to practice altogether. but that's what makes it fun and cool when we can be more comfortable and have more fun. those, those demos, the one in the up to one hour of training. it's time to rush out. really have to leave by when i'm teaching and 45 minutes. i have to remove the clearing, shower, get the car, russia, and leave them there and they go quickly, i have breakfast in the car and i drink coffee from my flask. i need to banana inside the car. and then if i go, but it's worth it. you don't need to, i'm off to work at the hospital. i'm in us. we were always on the go all the way to

do a lot of juggling. it's a miracle is get everyone together. so it's already happened a few times at least, you know, tug we is the 2nd oldest member of the team. she has a contemporary artist and brings her artistic vision to the sport. really puts the board on an actual stick level. vaccinate. indeed, it's a static power is wonderful to music aesthetics last, the underwater scenes are highly inspiring. it reminds me of military parades that also have a massive assessing potential. everything happening at once like synchronized. it has a unique magic and it is pure geometry. colors is the shape, so the color is it's one guess one of the drug and flies just won an award and recognition of promoting women's values in sports and society. as part of this initiative, alicia is coordinating a social project with immigrant textile workers. this is an example from the multicultural, swims to that project. to do so we've used the blacks. i'm so it as

a basis for each one of the participants to express their culture that concerns their demands, whichever they wanted. it will end up being an exhibition showing their work in an account was with the 9 of us from st. crow showing their work because that's where the company does a single disability most. going to cut off the assembly. hello, anita is the youngest team member for her dragonflies is much more than just a team of people, the team, my family. we became a family because we've experienced many things together, weddings, divorces, bus relatives going. we've lived through happy and sad times. during the many tough times in my life when i didn't even feel like guessing or feeling really sad, i still need for sure all the time is come to the worst have because i knew i would come out feeling way best to then say, you go, you've it off, you receive it, i'm one to take from someone and you come out feeling best. so i swear we shall good and bad news too. we let everything go in the pool. it's amazing.

in the city says it's very difficult. yes. and we didn't have to be good to sit in front. we not good, but we do what we enjoy. that's what i want to make clear because there's plenty of last we have a great time to start the day. doing what you know, if with your friends, well, i think it's also my favorite, but then you get into the most. wow. so many people is pure delight to pick up. i wish we could practice together more often and i wish we could practice more with the system you have practicing with these. this is amazing. k y was that people are late today is saturday. the only day in the week when the age of them can trying to get up with the coach is this. she has professional and family duties which only allow her to coach on saturdays, in autistic swimming. it is essential to practice coordination and synchronization and coming together only once a week is a big disadvantage. that's the hardest part getting everyone together. so when i see the age of them together, i feel everything turns out way better. clearly choreography is our main or for 8,

and obviously it's been ideal to have all 8 together. this rarely happens, but we make the best of it. when we do for sports in general on specifically st. crow. people think that you should start as a young child if you want to achieve anything, but they're proving that this is not true on them. you can start as an adult without any previous experience. it's highly gratifying and you can achieve a lot. you can attend european and world championships and have a still filled life practicing this sport as an adult the drug and flies will compete in japan into disciplines the team of 8 members and do it with laura and lola. they're taking very seriously and a dreaming of a middle, even though the competition is still 4 months away and they are still far from perfection. let's face ourselves separately above on the surface, and from that we lower our abilities. we're going wrong or timing's wrong. i was in think with you there we did it really well. the nice, very good so nice. yeah. no,

we didn't lift our legs. we were very similar. although you can't see the crane. i miss the you know i didn't lift my leg to die. i'm telling you that i did nothing from the figure laura, nothing. the time has come. the team flies to japan, but that will compete in the world context. mazda is championships in cub. she met in 2 disciplines, the team of 8 members and the jew, it with laura and lola. both disciplines have 2 routines, technical and free, and the final result is determined by the average of both scores. the inquiry, the technique is just the only state when we don't have it yet, given that we have fairly competed,

were doing quite well. what was different is that we are uninhibited when we compete to show our happiness because we feel comfortable because we here to enjoy . we don't have insecure receipts, even though we are technically inferior to the rest. certainly rare to see a group of 8 women practicing. oh, you're right, and for 13 years like us and more over competing, that is quite rare. i believe that's our main value. i think we actually practice every morning. not because of japan, all the competition, but because it's what we enjoyed most. and because to me, the best feeling is rushing out to where i coughed. practicing with you to keep on practicing. sport is a way to few young. you don't allow the old age to reach you. the many women come up to us, mostly women, but also a man saying you did this and you started in old age. i'd love to do that too. and

they ask us, what can i do it? how can i do it? the team has become a real reference point now that it's common to speak about such things. they're showing that it's never too late to start practicing a sports that have the chance to practice a day before the competition at a later together, they check back on their routine which was recorded by is this. it is far from perfect and there are mistakes, but as usual, if they have a positive and joyful way of dealing with it. what have you done? nothing. i'm telling you i can't get anything straight today. aim is to improve law school because winning a mental is difficult so all right miss to improve law school and feel good about what we do to come at the pool with a smile in our faces and no as we're speaking it for the judges. but because it

comes from inside because we're enjoying it the 1st 2 days, if the competition with the technical routines go very well for the money. but when see they have challenges of metals, both as a team without what rank falls. and especially in the jew, it will, lola and laura rank stood. the free routine is still to come and both disciplines, however, an unexpected event occurs. typhoon come noon for 2 days. everything is shut down and cover. she must including the aquatic championships, which means that you, it for a routine is now postponed for 2 days. this is terrible news from the and laura, as they had already scheduled this months back to spain. they tried to search for alternative options, but those dates and national holidays in japan and changing the tickets on affordable for them up to training the whole. yeah. coming all the way to japan and having a serious chance of winning a middle, they will miss their routine. it is a tough sit back,

but the team stays strong and they will focus their hopes on the team free routine with. they also have a middle jones, the dragonflies, perform really well in the color she met, pull and achieve the best score ever finishing 3rd in the free routine. however, it is not enough for middle, and they end up in fault overall. now we can say that was false, best in the weld forth in the world were not everything's being like a to native because these type soon came, the only bad thing is that it screwed up. a free do it and retain the best buy. one must accept things as they come. we're happy was the results he was positive. and just when everything seemed lost, the unexpected happens. they had desperately emailed the outline about their flights back to spain, appealing for support and asking for sponsorship, for new flights. and just a few hours before they would do to fly out of japan. they received a positive answer with some that will participate. after

a lot of hassle, we managed to solve the flight problem and they allowed us to register again for the 2 at for a routine. was up and down. the tends, in the impossible happens laura and low low become the stress and pressure of the last 48 hours putting on an outstanding performance and securing an epic bronze medal. proving once again that it's never too late the learning curve of the digital age. why handwriting is crucial for childhood development and how is being used in classrooms to blend futility with
