Welcome to Newsround. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
Ricky here. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:10 | |
First up, after four days of amazing sporting action, the Invictus Games | 0:00:10 | 0:00:15 | |
comes to an end today. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
The Games, which were Prince Harry's idea, have | 0:00:17 | 0:00:19 | |
given injured, wounded and sick servicemen and women from all around | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
the world the chance to compete in all kinds of sporting event and | 0:00:22 | 0:00:27 | |
have been seen as a big success. | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
Well, many of the competitors will have taken | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
a lot of inspiration from Team GB's Paralympic champion Jonnie Peacock. | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
He won the 100m gold at the European Championships last month, | 0:00:34 | 0:00:37 | |
adding to his collection of golds from the Paralympics. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:40 | |
So Martin tracked him down to find out more about his | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
story and just how he got so good. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:45 | |
I remember being at the Paralympics and it changed a lot of things, | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
in my opinion. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
What has it changed mostly for you? | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
The way people view people with disabilities has completely | 0:00:52 | 0:00:56 | |
changed from London 2012. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
And the sport is really intense and competitive and enjoyable. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:05 | |
There are some really cool sports you can get involved in too. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:09 | |
What the London 2012 Paralympics did was take away that aspect | 0:01:09 | 0:01:13 | |
of people being very overly nice to disabled people. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:16 | |
People just got involved. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:18 | |
Could you tell us about your disability? | 0:01:18 | 0:01:23 | |
I was born with cerebral palsy which means having a wheelchair. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
What is your story? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
When I was five, I had meningitis. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:29 | |
Quite a bad version of it. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
My body tried to fight it and my foot started to die. | 0:01:32 | 0:01:36 | |
Eventually they had to take off my foot up to about there. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
I did not lose my whole leg. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
It could have been a lot worse. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Give us an idea of what it takes to become top of your game. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
The biggest difference between being a professional | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
sportsperson and just recreational sport is definitely the commitment. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:56 | |
It is the 24/7 thinking about it. | 0:01:56 | 0:02:01 | |
What time to go to bed, what food to eat. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
All of these different lifestyle choices | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
that you do not think about, you cannot do that as a sportsperson. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
You have got to be thinking about the next session. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:17 | |
I am training five, six days a week. Was sport always something | 0:02:17 | 0:02:20 | |
you were going to get into? | 0:02:20 | 0:02:21 | |
I have always been sport mad through school, always football mad. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
I think definitely if I was not doing it, | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
if I was doing a day-to-day job, I would definitely still be playing | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
something on the weekends. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:30 | |
Next, check out these amazing pictures of | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
cracks in the earth appearing around the base of a volcano in Hawaii. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:35 | |
It happened as the Kilauea volcano started to erupt in Honolulu. | 0:02:35 | 0:02:39 | |
Experts there are worried the lava could spill onto motorways nearby. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:44 | |
And finally, you might think Barack Obama turning up at | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
your school would be pretty cool. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:48 | |
But the American president got an unlikely snub | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
after making a surprise visit to see kids in Washington. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:54 | |
This girl told him she'd hoped Beyonce was coming instead. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:59 | |
That's it. | 0:02:59 | 0:02:59 | |
We're back at 11.55. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:04 |
