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.
