Hi, I'm Ricky with a packed show for you this Wednesday morning. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The new French trains that are too big. | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
And we've got gold medal winning gymnasts | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
Becky and Ellie Downie live in the studio. | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
First we're talking about surfing and a world first, it's an | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
artificial surfing lake that makes waves at the touch of a button. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
And it's due to open in Wales next year. | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
The hope is that by making reliable waves, the same size | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
for each surfer, the sport could one day become an Olympic event. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
BBC reporter Claire Marshall had exclusive access to | :00:42. | :00:43. | |
the new technology being developed in a top secret location in Spain. | :00:44. | :00:54. | |
Riding the energy of the ocean takes exceptional skill. Every server has | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
two learn somewhere. Could it be here? And industrial wasteland in | :01:02. | :01:10. | |
the Welsh mountains. Work has just started on an inland surface lake. | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
It could be the first of its type in the world. They are using | :01:16. | :01:28. | |
revolutionary technology. Just outside Bill bowl, professional | :01:29. | :01:34. | |
surfers are having a go. It is unique. The wave is pushed up and | :01:35. | :01:43. | |
out. We are able to create perfect waves every time. This could even | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
make surfing an Olympic sport. You are watching the coach of the | :01:50. | :01:57. | |
British team. To be able to come and surf the wave every minute, it will | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
be huge benefit, not just to UK service but to anybody who wants to | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
improve surfing. I have never tried anything like this. Will have a go! | :02:09. | :02:18. | |
It is really fun, really difficult but really fun. I will be back. | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
Rail bosses in France have been left red-faced after ordering | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
A mix-up over measurements means they are too wide | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
More than ?40 million has already been spent changing train platforms | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
but there are still 1,000 more platforms left to widen! | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
Next up, Becky and Ellie Downie are back home | :02:41. | :02:42. | |
at the European Women's Artistic Gymnastics Championships | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
Becky stole the show by winning gold in the women's uneven bars over | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
the weekend and her 15-year old sister also won gold on the vault. | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
They'll be joining me in a second, first let?s see them in action. | :02:57. | :03:11. | |
This is tricky. She goes the right way. Absolutely fabulous work! | :03:12. | :03:23. | |
Girls, thank you for joining us this morning. What an incredible week. | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
Talk us through what it has been like? It has been a bit crazy. We | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
went to Bulgaria hoping for a team medal. In terms of individual | :03:35. | :03:42. | |
medals, it is mad how many we have brought back. You have got a gold | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
medal. You must be over the moon. I have been watching the clip over and | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
over again. Talk us through the feeling when you got the gold medal | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
around your neck? It still does not feel real. I am really happy. My | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
hard work has paid off. Every final I missed, it was like I had not got | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
there yet. I cannot believe it has come off. Ellie, you must be chuffed | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
because you have got a gold, silver and a bronze! That is incredible! | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
How are you feeling? It has not sunk in really. We were hoping for a team | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
medal. I was expecting a vault medal because that is my strongest piece | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
but I did not expect an all-around one. Why are we doing so well at | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
gymnastics at the moment? We have had a lot of support from our | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
coaches and after London 2012 we had more support and funding. Can you | :04:45. | :04:50. | |
hold up your medals? We want to have a look. Thank you for coming in. | :04:51. | :05:00. | |
Do join us at 8:15pm. See you then, bye-bye. | :05:01. | :05:02. |
