The Doodle Is All About…

This is one of the cutest doodles that you would have seen that is made during this event. The doodle takes us back to the well-known hare-tortoise rivalry, but this time on ice.

About Today’s Doodle

In this doodle, we can watch the hare and tortoise in the competition. The moment the race is flagged off by the referee mouse, the hare initially is seen heading the race with a flying start at a speed of 64 kmph. On the other hand, the tortoise starts inching forward with full determination, but is just too slow.

The Twist In The Game

In a sweet strange twist, the hare seems to stop and check on his opponent. He is seen dropping his skiies and heads back towards the beginning of the course to help out the tortoise.

They Skii Together!

Both the hare and tortoise get back on the skiies and it shows us the great sportsmanship from the hare who decides to pick up the tortoise and head towards the finish line together. They both cross the finish line together, making both of them the winners.

About Cross-country Skiing
