0:00:06 > 0:00:08This is Blue Peter, but mini.
0:00:08 > 0:00:12Expect epic adventures, makes, bakes, badges, pets,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14presenters and your host.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18We've only got five minutes, so get ready for your Blue Peter adventure.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20'Eight months ago,
0:00:20 > 0:00:23'I was set one of my biggest Blue Peter challenges yet,
0:00:23 > 0:00:25'to perform a floor
0:00:25 > 0:00:29'routine at the World Gymnastics' Championships in Glasgow.
0:00:30 > 0:00:34'I began by training with Olympic medallist Louis Smith.
0:00:36 > 0:00:39'And, since then, I've been hitting the gym hard.'
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- Four.- Argh.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45'I've found out just what it takes to become an elite gymnast.
0:00:45 > 0:00:50'And how eating the right food can have a big impact on my performance.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53'But, now, with only a few days to go, my coach, Rob,
0:00:53 > 0:00:56'really ups my training.'
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Legs are looking still a little bit floppy.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Do you know what, doing the individual moves in gymnastics
0:01:02 > 0:01:05is really tough, but doing it in a sequence,
0:01:05 > 0:01:09where I only get one chance to get it right, makes it so much harder.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Right, back to it.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19'I'll be pulling off skills like the splits, cartwheels
0:01:19 > 0:01:21'and handstands,
0:01:21 > 0:01:26'which are difficult enough, but my routine starts with a handspring and
0:01:26 > 0:01:31'finishes with a front somersault, two of the hardest moves.
0:01:34 > 0:01:38'And, despite how many times I try, I haven't landed them
0:01:38 > 0:01:40'all perfectly.'
0:01:40 > 0:01:42Argh!
0:01:42 > 0:01:44It is so frustrating.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47I get one chance at this and if I mess it up,
0:01:47 > 0:01:49it's going to set the scene for the entire routine.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51HE SIGHS
0:01:51 > 0:01:54The idea of that happening... I'm not even going to think about it.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00It's the day before my performance and I head up to Glasgow.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03I'm starting to feel really nervous now.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05I didn't think I would, but I really am.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08I've got one last chance to, kind of, work out all the things
0:02:08 > 0:02:12that are going wrong and work out how to make it right.
0:02:12 > 0:02:17So bring on Glasgow and bring on the World Gymnastics Championships.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21CROWD CHEERS
0:02:21 > 0:02:23'When I arrive, I catch up with my coach,
0:02:23 > 0:02:28'Rob, at the training hall, to practise my routine one last time.'
0:02:28 > 0:02:31We're going to do a little bit of training with skills and,
0:02:31 > 0:02:32finally, a couple of routines
0:02:32 > 0:02:35just so you can get everything out, get all your nerves out,
0:02:35 > 0:02:37so you're fully prepared for tomorrow.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40'I'm not alone. Some of the best gymnasts in the world are also
0:02:40 > 0:02:43'getting in some last minute practice, including Louis Smith.'
0:02:43 > 0:02:46I'm pretty sure my first competition didn't go to plan,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49so, if you do mess up, there's always next time.
0:02:49 > 0:02:51- We've always got the Olympics next year.- Yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Yeah!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59I'm very tired.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03HE YAWNS
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Good morning.
0:03:06 > 0:03:10Training yesterday went OK, but I'm still not very confident
0:03:10 > 0:03:13when it comes to my somersault or my handspring.
0:03:13 > 0:03:14I get one chance at this.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18It's time to do it.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21'For the very first time,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25'I get to see the actual floor I'll be performing on.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28'And now, the size of my challenge really sinks in.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31'I need to stay focused,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34'so I keep going through the routine over and over in my head.
0:03:34 > 0:03:36'But before I do my final preparations,
0:03:36 > 0:03:38'Rob has a bit of a treat for me.'
0:03:38 > 0:03:41When you go out there, you've not only got
0:03:41 > 0:03:44to perform your skills with style, you've got to look the part as well.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46- OK. - I've got a little surprise for you.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50'My very own Blue Peter leotard.'
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Wow, look at that!
0:03:52 > 0:03:54'And, in true Children In Need style,
0:03:54 > 0:03:57'I've got a matching cape and mask.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00'It's time to see if I can be a hero in front of 8,000 people.'
0:04:04 > 0:04:06'This is it.
0:04:06 > 0:04:09'I've got to pull off 12 different moves, including a handspring,
0:04:09 > 0:04:13'a cartwheel, the splits and two front somersaults.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16'I've never managed to do all these moves perfectly in a sequence,
0:04:16 > 0:04:19'but can I do them now?'
0:04:19 > 0:04:23I've trained so hard, I've given everything I've got now,
0:04:23 > 0:04:25but now is the time to just do it.
0:04:25 > 0:04:29Ladies and gentlemen, representing Blue Peter, please welcome Radzi!
0:04:29 > 0:04:31CHEERING
0:04:31 > 0:04:35'Commentating on my every move, Matt Baker and Beth Tweddle.'
0:04:35 > 0:04:39All eyes in this 8,000 seater arena are on Radzi.
0:04:42 > 0:04:44'I land the handspring, I can't believe it.'
0:04:44 > 0:04:47That was a great start to the routine,
0:04:47 > 0:04:49just to get those nerves settled. Credit to him for that.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51'Next, my first somersault.
0:04:51 > 0:04:52'Yes!'
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Oh, it's a big move. He went for the front somersault and he's nailed it!
0:04:56 > 0:04:58'I'm really starting to enjoy this now,
0:04:58 > 0:05:00'but I mustn't lose concentration.'
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You can see the splits there, wow!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05'Ooh, that didn't quite go to plan.'
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Just a little bit shaky there.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11'Come on, I've still got a few moves to go.'
0:05:11 > 0:05:13Wow, look at that, the backwards roll into box splits.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15CHEERING
0:05:15 > 0:05:18'That's more like it.'
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Into the arabesque, very easy to wobble on this one.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Ooh, he's holding it well.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25- The final tumble.- Come on, Radzi!
0:05:25 > 0:05:27'Here we go.
0:05:27 > 0:05:28'Yes!'
0:05:28 > 0:05:30He's got it! Well, I think
0:05:30 > 0:05:33he achieved everything that he would have wanted to have done.
0:05:33 > 0:05:35- Oh, look at him!- Look at that!
0:05:35 > 0:05:40He's really lapping up the crowd, so he's pleased with that performance.
0:05:40 > 0:05:42That's definitely a gold badge as far as I'm concerned.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45- Give it up for Radzi. - Oh, yes, thank you.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46CHEERING
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Oh, wow.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52I couldn't be more elated. Get in.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Join in every Thursday on CBBC.
