0:00:03 > 0:00:05There are loads of ways to earn your BP sport badge.
0:00:05 > 0:00:09Alex and Harry tried their hand at a "flipping" brilliant sport
0:00:09 > 0:00:11called swimming.
0:00:11 > 0:00:13Then of course there is Holly and Rocco, they played tennis.
0:00:13 > 0:00:16But Leroy and Jordan are doing my favourite thing,
0:00:16 > 0:00:18- which is the Frisbee. That was a bit hard. Thank you.- Barney?- Yeah.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Do you remember when I had a go at water-skiing?
0:00:21 > 0:00:22Yeah, it was amazing.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24SPLASH!
0:00:24 > 0:00:26All right, Radz?
0:00:42 > 0:00:44BOTH: Hello. You're watching Blue Peter.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47Today's show is all about this bad boy. It is the BP sport badge.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50What better place to talk about this sporting legend than where
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- sporting legends get made?- Let's check out this venue, shall we?
0:00:54 > 0:00:57The Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. In there right now,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00the IAAF World Championships are taking place.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02All sorts of celebrities in there. Usain Bolt is going to be there.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05Mo Farah is going to be there and let us not forget Elinor,
0:01:05 > 0:01:07the BP mascot winner who designed Hero the Hedgehog.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10She won tickets to this event as part of her prize.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12And later on we will see her see Hero take to the stage.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15We are also taking a look back at some of the previous
0:01:15 > 0:01:17competitions and their incredible prizes.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19We're also going to spot Shelley.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22But before all that, wait a moment, because the countdown has begun.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24You have only got one week left to get your hands on your limited
0:01:24 > 0:01:25edition BP sport badge.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29It is really easy, head to the BP website, download the form and then
0:01:29 > 0:01:32attach a photograph to it and send it to us by midday next Thursday.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Let's be absolutely clear, that's 12pm next Thursday, one week.
0:01:37 > 0:01:39- Don't forget it.- If you want some inspiration, watch this film.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- It's really good.- I spoke too soon. - That was better than mine.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Give me a break.
0:01:46 > 0:01:50You know what? Sometimes it is just nice to get out and about, isn't it?
0:01:50 > 0:01:53Breathe in the fresh air, soak up the scenery.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56It's really worth doing something like that every once in a while.
0:01:56 > 0:02:00Then again, it's also worth doing something extreme.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02LOUD MUSIC
0:02:02 > 0:02:06And downhill mountain biking is pretty extreme.
0:02:06 > 0:02:08Flying down off-road trails on specialist
0:02:08 > 0:02:10bikes as fast as humanly possible.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15I'm in the Scottish Borders to give it a go
0:02:15 > 0:02:18and my expert guides are these guys.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Emily and Corran are two of the best young riders around.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Both compete in major competitions
0:02:23 > 0:02:26and their dad Crawford used to be a professional rider.
0:02:26 > 0:02:27OK, first things first.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31How would we explain the sport of mountain biking?
0:02:31 > 0:02:33It's rough terrain, it's gravelly.
0:02:33 > 0:02:35You're not on the road like road biking.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38It's all over the place, jumps, drops.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40When did you first start - how old were you?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43I learned to ride a bike without stabilisers when I was two years
0:02:43 > 0:02:46- and four months.- OK. - Then after that, it just...
0:02:46 > 0:02:50It was all downhill from there! It was all down... No? OK, fine.
0:02:50 > 0:02:54- Your dad happens to be awesome at this, doesn't he?- Yes, very awesome.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56Crawford is deaf and uses sign language
0:02:56 > 0:02:58so Corran will be translating his answers for us.
0:02:58 > 0:03:01When did you get into it, Dad? When did you first start?
0:03:01 > 0:03:03He started when he was 18, just for fun.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- Here we are all these years later. - Yes.
0:03:05 > 0:03:08So how does the bike need to be different to do this kind of sport?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Let's start with the tyres, Emily.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Well, when you do mountain biking it is good for them to be thick.
0:03:12 > 0:03:14The thicker they are, the more grip you've got.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17And they are lumpy so it is even more grip.
0:03:17 > 0:03:18OK. What about the handlebars, Dad,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20what is important about the handlebars?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22They are not like road bikes at all.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Your handlebars need to be wide so you have more control.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27If they are narrow you would be a bit more all over the place.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29I honestly don't think it would matter if my handlebars
0:03:29 > 0:03:32were this wide. I think I'm still going to do a bit of wobbling today.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35- I'm going to need a bike, aren't I?- Yeah.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38- Are you going to show me the ropes? - Yeah.- Are we going to do it?- Yeah.
0:03:38 > 0:03:39OK. You can lead the way.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41Before we hit the trail, the guys want to make sure I'm using
0:03:41 > 0:03:45the brakes properly so I don't go flying over the handlebars.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48Once they are happy, Crawford has some advice about pedals.
0:03:49 > 0:03:51Going along flat, your pedals should be level.
0:03:51 > 0:03:53Then when you go round the corner, to the left,
0:03:53 > 0:03:54you put your right foot down.
0:03:54 > 0:03:57If you are going to the right, you put your left foot down,
0:03:57 > 0:03:59- just like you are skiing.- So whatever corner you are going into
0:03:59 > 0:04:01- you put that side of the pedal up. - Yeah.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04Pushing into the corner with your pedal will give you
0:04:04 > 0:04:06more grip and push you through the corner.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Great tip and I feel like I have got the basics, but the real challenge
0:04:10 > 0:04:12of downhill mountain biking are
0:04:12 > 0:04:14the many different obstacles along any trail.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18Get it wrong and it could be nasty. Ouch!
0:04:18 > 0:04:22So I need to tackle my first rocky patch. This looks like fun.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24How am I going to ride down that?
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- You're going to have to be confident.- Yeah.
0:04:26 > 0:04:28- And you're going to have to lean back.- Yeah.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31You are going to have to brake before you do it,
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- don't brake whilst you're going down it.- Yes, that's a good tip.
0:04:34 > 0:04:37Make sure you commit before you go down it and you should be good.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38- Really?- Yeah.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40OK, this is probably the scariest thing
0:04:40 > 0:04:43I've done for a while. Let's see what happens.
0:04:45 > 0:04:47It's not going to happen.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49It feels really unnatural to ride OVER the rocks rather than
0:04:49 > 0:04:52round them. I might need another go at that.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55I'm going to do it this time, here we go. Here we go.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56OK, no, no!
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Not happening.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59It's so hard to just go for it.
0:04:59 > 0:05:02I'll come back round and try again.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Come on, Barn, third time lucky.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Here we go. Oh, my goodness!
0:05:07 > 0:05:09That was amazing!
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Yes! Nailed it.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14See, there is actually some truth in the saying "if, at first,
0:05:14 > 0:05:16"you don't succeed, try again."
0:05:16 > 0:05:17I just proved that, didn't I?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19- That was OK, yeah?- That was good.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- Great, OK. What's next? - The hard one.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24That wasn't the hard one?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25No.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28As if riding over rocks wasn't difficult enough,
0:05:28 > 0:05:30the actual hard one is this - a drop,
0:05:30 > 0:05:32which is exactly what it sounds like.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34You drop off that.
0:05:34 > 0:05:36CHILDREN SNIGGER
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- Do you? BOTH:- Yeah.
0:05:38 > 0:05:40A classic downhill challenge,
0:05:40 > 0:05:42and the only way to safely overcome a drop
0:05:42 > 0:05:46is to fully commit to jumping off it. Easy!
0:05:46 > 0:05:49- Lean back and push your bike forward.- Yeah?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53That'll lift your front wheel up, so you won't go forward,
0:05:53 > 0:05:55and then you land both wheels at the same time, hopefully.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Now, this isn't as big as something the pros would jump off,
0:05:59 > 0:06:02but to me, from the top, it feels big!
0:06:02 > 0:06:04Oh, it's terrifying.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09He makes it!
0:06:09 > 0:06:11Look at that.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13I've learned so much in such a short space of time,
0:06:13 > 0:06:15which is lucky, really,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18because my challenge hasn't even started.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23Tomorrow, the Mountain Bike World Cup is taking place
0:06:23 > 0:06:25three hours down the road...
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Are you kidding?!
0:06:26 > 0:06:29..and I am going to be riding on one of its trails.
0:06:29 > 0:06:31Will I be able to keep my nerve...
0:06:31 > 0:06:33I'm convinced I'm going to slip.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36..through every twist, every turn, every jump?
0:06:41 > 0:06:44Stay tuned for part two, when I take part in the World Cup.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46- Barney?- What?- I'm very excited. - Yes, you are.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49- Because I love athletics.- He does.
0:06:49 > 0:06:50And in that stadium there
0:06:50 > 0:06:54is the IAAF World Athletics Championships.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56However, today isn't all about athletics.
0:06:56 > 0:06:57I know what you're going to do.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00You're going to list a load of sports that people can take part in
0:07:00 > 0:07:01to earn their BP sport badges.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04- I was going to give two examples. - You don't need to.
0:07:04 > 0:07:05I've written a list. Here we go.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Aerobics. Motorsport. American football.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Netball. Archery. Roller-skating.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Badminton. Rounders...- Barney.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14I ain't finished yet. Rowing. Softball. Rugby. Basketball.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Athletics. Roller-skating. Badminton.
0:07:16 > 0:07:17This might take a while,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19so while Barney carries on,
0:07:19 > 0:07:21let's take a look at this week's sport badge special.
0:07:21 > 0:07:23Darts is in there. Table tennis.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Disability sport. Tennis. Diving.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30Over the summer, you lot have been busy getting sporty
0:07:30 > 0:07:32and inspiring your friends and family,
0:07:32 > 0:07:36to earn your brand-new 2017 sport badge. Check this lot out.
0:07:36 > 0:07:40Ryan inspired Ria to have a go at playing badminton,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42but they had a problem -
0:07:42 > 0:07:44the great British weather. It was windy outside,
0:07:44 > 0:07:47so the shuttlecock kept flying away. Oh, dear.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50Next up, Sophia got in touch to tell us
0:07:50 > 0:07:53she inspired Maddie to have a go at kayaking.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Looks a bit chilly there.
0:07:55 > 0:07:56Maddie says she found it fun
0:07:56 > 0:08:00and was happy she got the chance to try a brand-new sport.
0:08:00 > 0:08:04Ragav wrote in to tell us about what sounds like a very competitive game.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07He inspired Ishan to get involved with cricket.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Ishan kept bowling so close to the wicket
0:08:10 > 0:08:12but couldn't quite bowl Ragav out.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17This is Arianna and Alesha, who went horse-riding. You're braver than me.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Arianna encouraged Alesha to go over the big jumps,
0:08:20 > 0:08:23and she did it with an even bigger smile on her face.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Next up, Ben told us about when he inspired Alex to go swimming.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30Ben says that swimming is a skill to learn for life,
0:08:30 > 0:08:32and I absolutely agree with you, my friend.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37Thank you to everyone who's got in touch and sent something in.
0:08:37 > 0:08:38Keep it coming!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Yoga. Hockey. Curling. Ice hockey.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- Are you still going? - There's a lot of them.
0:08:46 > 0:08:49- Kayaking.- Did you even see the posts these good people sent in?
0:08:49 > 0:08:51Yes.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Lacrosse. Martial arts. Do you know what I've been thinking?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56You know the World Champs are happening in there?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59- Yes.- All those incredible athletes are in that building,
0:08:59 > 0:09:01- doing incredible stuff, and we're outside?- Yeah.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03How amazing would it be to be inside there
0:09:03 > 0:09:05watching the athletes doing what they're doing?
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- Um...- How amazing would it be to be in there with them,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11soaking up the atmosphere of that incredible event in there?
0:09:11 > 0:09:14That would be awesome, if we could do that.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16- Um...Barney...- What?
0:09:16 > 0:09:17Watch this.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Why?
0:09:20 > 0:09:25The IAAF World Athletics Championships 2017,
0:09:25 > 0:09:28and the eyes of the world are on the London Stadium.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31But there's one performer who's really caught the eye,
0:09:31 > 0:09:34and that someone is a hedgehog.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37Hero the hedgehog has wowed crowds
0:09:37 > 0:09:40and attracted attention like no mascot before,
0:09:40 > 0:09:42and Hero wouldn't be here
0:09:42 > 0:09:44without one very special Blue Peter viewer.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50The story begins in January, when we launched a competition
0:09:50 > 0:09:54to design two very special mascots.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56Our winner, Elinor, designed Hero the hedgehog
0:09:56 > 0:09:58for the IAAF World Championships,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02and Whizbee for the World Para Athletic Championships,
0:10:02 > 0:10:06and our judges loved them.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Next, I had the exciting job
0:10:08 > 0:10:10of telling Ellie the amazing news.
0:10:11 > 0:10:12Hello, Elinor.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14You're our winner.
0:10:14 > 0:10:18After Ellie's designs were turned into reality in the factory,
0:10:18 > 0:10:22it was time to reveal them to the world.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24Hero and Whizbee, welcome to Blue Peter. You look amazing.
0:10:24 > 0:10:26And in no time at all,
0:10:26 > 0:10:28Ellie and her mascots were superstars.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33But that was only the beginning of her prize.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37Next stop, the World Para Athletics Championships 2017.
0:10:37 > 0:10:42- Elinor! Straight-up talk! That's your ticket.- Thank you.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45This is my ticket. We've got them in our hands, finally.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47- How are you feeling?- Really excited.
0:10:47 > 0:10:51That way there is the London Stadium. Shall we head there?
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I can't wait. Let's go.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Because this is the World Para Athletics Championships,
0:10:56 > 0:11:00it's Whizbee that's the star of the show and can be seen everywhere.
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Here we are. These are the best seats in the house.
0:11:04 > 0:11:06Whizbee's got a Blue Peter badge.
0:11:06 > 0:11:09This is so unbelievably exciting.
0:11:09 > 0:11:12We're seeing Whizbee in front of the crowd, right there.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14In fact, let's go and meet Whizbee.
0:11:16 > 0:11:18Look at that!
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Ellie, this is what you created. What are you thinking?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23Really good.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Now, if meeting the mascot you designed wasn't enough,
0:11:26 > 0:11:30how about getting to walk on the actual London Stadium track?
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Look at this place!
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Wow-ow-ow!
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Or being interviewed for Brazilian TV?
0:11:39 > 0:11:43Ellie even gets to drive the truck that collects the discus,
0:11:43 > 0:11:47and Whizbee's on it. That's one fast-moving bee!
0:11:47 > 0:11:49But someone who'll give Whizbee a run for the honey
0:11:49 > 0:11:55is two-time World Para Athletic and Paralympic T44 100 metre champion,
0:11:55 > 0:11:56Jonnie Peacock!
0:11:56 > 0:11:59So, Jonnie, what do you think of Elinor's mascot, Whizbee?
0:11:59 > 0:12:01When I saw him come out,
0:12:01 > 0:12:03it was just such a cool design,
0:12:03 > 0:12:04and to see him with his blade out,
0:12:04 > 0:12:06I think that was such a great twist,
0:12:06 > 0:12:08which was really smart.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12That's high praise for Ellie's design, but we're not done yet.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16She's about to get a masterclass on how to start the 100 metres
0:12:16 > 0:12:19from this para sport legend.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22What we do to get into the blocks, put your feet in each pedal,
0:12:22 > 0:12:23however you want to do it,
0:12:23 > 0:12:25hands behind the line,
0:12:25 > 0:12:27and when he says "set",
0:12:27 > 0:12:28you just push up...
0:12:30 > 0:12:34I mean, getting a lesson from one of Great Britain's greatest-ever
0:12:34 > 0:12:35sprinters?
0:12:35 > 0:12:37It doesn't get any better than that.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42Or does it?
0:12:42 > 0:12:44Because a few weeks later,
0:12:44 > 0:12:47we are back at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51just look at it, for the IAAF World Athletics Championships
0:12:51 > 0:12:55London 2017. We're talking about Usain Bolt
0:12:55 > 0:12:57and Sir Mo Farah. However,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00I'm about to meet three top entries in their age category
0:13:00 > 0:13:03for our World Championship competition.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09Ellie has tickets for what could be an incredible night of athletics,
0:13:09 > 0:13:12only this time, she's joined by competition runners-up
0:13:12 > 0:13:14nine-year-old Rufus
0:13:14 > 0:13:16and 13-year-old Bradley.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19- Elinor, how are you feeling to be back?- Really excited.
0:13:19 > 0:13:20You're really excited.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23Bradley, you are actually an athlete yourself.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25What sport do you do?
0:13:25 > 0:13:27I do dressage, which is like horse riding.
0:13:27 > 0:13:29You have to make the horse dance.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Rufus, is there any one person you're most looking forward
0:13:31 > 0:13:34to seeing inside that stadium compete?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Mo Farah, because it's his last race
0:13:36 > 0:13:38and he's going to do the 5,000 metres
0:13:38 > 0:13:40and I'm hoping he's going to win it.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42- You really are hoping, aren't you?- Yeah.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Well, without further ado,
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Rufus, Elinor...- Thank you.
0:13:46 > 0:13:51- ..we are now officially ready. Shall we go in?- Yeah.- Let's go in.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53But as we head to the stadium,
0:13:53 > 0:13:55we get a phone call.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58There's someone who'd like to say hello.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02So, Hero, you've been getting up to a little
0:14:02 > 0:14:04bit of mischief on the track.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06So there's been a forward roll down the steps,
0:14:06 > 0:14:10then there was the time when you slipped on the steeplechase
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and I thought did yourself a slight injury there.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17There's a man called Usain Bolt, who'll be racing in the relay.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19Oh, we've got to hit that for a photo, don't we?
0:14:19 > 0:14:22Shall we hit the Usain Bolt pose? Three, two, one...
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Oh, it's just like that!
0:14:25 > 0:14:27I am so excited!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29Let's get our seats.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31We have officially arrived.
0:14:31 > 0:14:35Have you seen how close we are to the finish line?
0:14:35 > 0:14:37- It's massive.- It really is massive.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39As the action begins,
0:14:39 > 0:14:42there's one person we all want to see.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I can't wait to see what tricks Hero does.
0:14:45 > 0:14:47Right, yeah.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49And Hero doesn't disappoint.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51APPLAUSE
0:14:53 > 0:14:56The crowd love that hedgehog.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59Imagine what it must be like for Ellie to see 60,000 people
0:14:59 > 0:15:01watching her mascot design.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09From the star of the show to a sporting superstar,
0:15:09 > 0:15:11Sir Mo Farah!
0:15:11 > 0:15:17When the commentator announces Mo Farah's name, London goes crazy!
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- COMMENTATOR:- Oh, to be here on this day.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Mo's under a little bit of pressure.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25He's got to do what he's done before.
0:15:25 > 0:15:27The crowd respond.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31SHE SCREAMS
0:15:33 > 0:15:36Mo Farah fights for the silver!
0:15:37 > 0:15:40So, so close.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45Second for Sir Mo, but what an unbelievable athlete.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47Now, though, it's time for history.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50Rufus, what time is it?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52Bolt o'clock!
0:15:52 > 0:15:56We are about to witness the last race of the greatest
0:15:56 > 0:15:59sprinter in the history of the world,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01Mr Usain Bolt.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06Come on, Bolt!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08- COMMENTATOR: - ..Being chased by the great man.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10Mitchell-Blake is going to get it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13Away he goes. The USA have got Coleman chasing.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16Mitchell-Blake is going to have it.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17It's going to be tough.
0:16:17 > 0:16:19Ohh!
0:16:19 > 0:16:21Yeah!
0:16:21 > 0:16:23Yes! Great Britain are first!
0:16:25 > 0:16:28- COMMENTATOR:- A new British record.
0:16:32 > 0:16:35Wow, wow, wow.
0:16:35 > 0:16:37So, no fairy-tale end for Bolt,
0:16:37 > 0:16:39but gold for Great Britain.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43For these guys, by entering a Blue Peter competition,
0:16:43 > 0:16:46they were part of a moment that will live for ever
0:16:46 > 0:16:48in sporting history.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50How was it?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And it's safe to say
0:16:59 > 0:17:02that Hero the hedgehog will never be forgotten.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Best day ever!
0:17:06 > 0:17:09Yeah, it looked like the best day ever, actually.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Where was my invite?
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Um... Shall we move on?- OK.
0:17:13 > 0:17:14- Do you know what?- What?
0:17:14 > 0:17:17To be honest, it didn't get much better than that.
0:17:17 > 0:17:19- How can it get better than that? - I don't know.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22We've had some pretty cool competitions over the past year.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- Design A Dragon.- Yeah, Dream Big.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26The Team GB sport badge.
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- What about Big Day Out? - They are incredible opportunities,
0:17:29 > 0:17:31and you don't just get to win a competition.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33- You win an amazing day. - You get a sense of pride,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36- a sense of achievement, that's what you get.- No.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39- You also get an orange badge. - Oh, yeah.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Every week, Blue Peter brings you exclusive content
0:17:43 > 0:17:46that you won't see anywhere else.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48But what makes the show special
0:17:48 > 0:17:50are our once-in-a-lifetime competitions.
0:17:50 > 0:17:54And when I say once-in-a-lifetime, I mean it.
0:17:55 > 0:17:57Last year, we pulled out all the stops
0:17:57 > 0:17:59for our Dream Big competition.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02It was judged by Roald Dahl's daughter Lucy.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06Our winner Betty got to see her dream story brought to life.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09And after going to the film's premiere,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12she had the chance to show it to the big man himself,
0:18:12 > 0:18:17Oscar-winning director Mr Steven Spielberg.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20The toucans opened their own internet cafe...
0:18:20 > 0:18:22in Shoreditch,
0:18:22 > 0:18:25providing a careers-advice service
0:18:25 > 0:18:27for other animals stuck in dead-end jobs,
0:18:27 > 0:18:29unsuited to their skills.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I can see why you're sitting here.
0:18:31 > 0:18:33That's really marvellous.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Betty, you've got a little something to ask Steven, haven't you?
0:18:37 > 0:18:39Yes. Would you mind taking a selfie with us?
0:18:39 > 0:18:41I would love that.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Absolutely amazing.
0:18:43 > 0:18:47But Betty wasn't the only one to dream big last year.
0:18:47 > 0:18:49When we needed a new Blue Peter sport badge
0:18:49 > 0:18:51ahead of the Rio Olympics,
0:18:51 > 0:18:53we turned to you guys.
0:18:53 > 0:18:57Sam created a badge that was given to every member of Team GB
0:18:57 > 0:19:00during the biggest sporting event on the planet!
0:19:00 > 0:19:01And they loved it.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03After you.
0:19:03 > 0:19:05And speaking of loving it...
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Max loved his Big Day Out riding a train around London's
0:19:09 > 0:19:11underground network,
0:19:11 > 0:19:13trying to spot his amazing poster design.
0:19:13 > 0:19:15Cool, right?
0:19:15 > 0:19:17Last autumn, it was seen by thousands,
0:19:17 > 0:19:20as they travelled all over London,
0:19:20 > 0:19:23and your creativity doesn't end there.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27When we asked you to design a dragon for the Great Pagoda in Kew Gardens,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30you answered in your thousands.
0:19:30 > 0:19:319,000, actually.
0:19:31 > 0:19:35It feels amazing. It's so cool to think that it's going to be
0:19:35 > 0:19:36on top of the pagoda.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Florence can't wait to see her design come to life.
0:19:39 > 0:19:43In fact, it's being created right now.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47And just remember, you could be our next orange badge winner.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54Coming up this autumn on Blue Peter - we reveal the lucky winner
0:19:54 > 0:19:56of our Code-breaker competition.
0:19:56 > 0:19:58Even I haven't got one of these.
0:19:58 > 0:20:01And we launch an incredible brand-new competition
0:20:01 > 0:20:06with one of the world's most famous animation companies.
0:20:06 > 0:20:08It's the tiniest BP badge I've ever held.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Look at that. Look.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Right, I'm entering that.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16You can, if you're 16 or under. Are you?
0:20:16 > 0:20:18- No.- Then you cannot enter it.- OK.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20You've got a week left to get your own limited edition
0:20:20 > 0:20:23- BP sport badge. I want one.- Barney.- What?
0:20:23 > 0:20:25- Amazing news - you've got one. - I do have one. It's right here
0:20:25 > 0:20:27on my lapel. Would you like to get one?
0:20:27 > 0:20:30Head to the Blue Peter website and do the usual stuff,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32and then just wait for a bit.
0:20:32 > 0:20:35Don't just take our word for it. Check this out.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37Hi. I'm Jo Rowsell Shand,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39two-times Olympic champion cyclist.
0:20:39 > 0:20:41My name's Heather Knight, the England women's cricket captain.

0:20:48 > 0:20:50and you could earn a Blue Peter sport badge?
0:20:50 > 0:20:54Get involved and inspire one of your friends to take up a new sport.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57You could be the lucky owner of this Blue Peter sport badge

0:21:00 > 0:21:02so get involved.

0:21:08 > 0:21:11Those are sporting giants, all telling you to apply for

0:21:13 > 0:21:14so what are you waiting for?

0:21:17 > 0:21:19You also get the chance to apply to be on the judging panel
0:21:19 > 0:21:22for the Young Sports Personality of the Year Award 2017.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25I'd forgotten that. I'm going to apply.
0:21:25 > 0:21:26Are you 16 or under?
0:21:26 > 0:21:27Then no!
0:21:27 > 0:21:29Speaking of sporty and speaking of young,
0:21:29 > 0:21:32Emily and Corran are two legends I met recently,
0:21:32 > 0:21:35and they took me to the World Cup to try and teach me the ropes.
0:21:35 > 0:21:37Did I end up being an expert?
0:21:37 > 0:21:38No...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42Earlier, I got a lesson in downhill mountain biking
0:21:42 > 0:21:45from two of the best young riders in the UK.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Now, though, it's time for my challenge to step up a notch,
0:21:48 > 0:21:50as I attempt to take on one of the courses
0:21:50 > 0:21:52at the Mountain Bike World Cup,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55this year being held in Fort William.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58My instructors, Corran and Emily, will also be competing,
0:21:58 > 0:22:01taking on the same trail as myself.
0:22:01 > 0:22:03So, to prepare for our ride,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06we meet up to get a look at the obstacles we're facing.
0:22:06 > 0:22:08What are you doing to get prepared for the race?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11We'll walk the course and choose our lines,
0:22:11 > 0:22:14fastest lines, so we can do better, faster.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- I could do with knowing the fastest line.- Yeah.
0:22:16 > 0:22:19Though my brakes are going to be on the majority of the time.
0:22:19 > 0:22:21- Shall we get walking and see what we can see?- Yeah.
0:22:21 > 0:22:23If I was to work out which bit to ride round,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I'd probably go for that bit round there, cos it's drier.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29I'd say that'd be quicker, but it's not going to be, is it?
0:22:29 > 0:22:31No, because then you'll have to go all the way round,
0:22:31 > 0:22:33so I would recommend going through here,
0:22:33 > 0:22:35but you don't want to go through very thick mud.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38You've got to make a split-second decision to get round the fastest?
0:22:38 > 0:22:40- Yes.- That's why you walk the course.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43You can choose your line before you go.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- Memorise the course. Know where you'll go.- Memorise the course,
0:22:46 > 0:22:48- know where you're going to go. - Know what's going to happen next.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51I'm picking up some brilliant tips.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Corran and Emily head out onto the mountain
0:22:53 > 0:22:56for their runs. Both are tipped to do very well,
0:22:56 > 0:22:58but if they do, they won't be the first brother
0:22:58 > 0:23:00and sister downhill champions.
0:23:00 > 0:23:02Rachel and Gee Atherton
0:23:02 > 0:23:03are mountain biking superstars,
0:23:03 > 0:23:05and I caught up with them.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I'm at the start of my downhill career.
0:23:08 > 0:23:09You've got a huge career to look back on.
0:23:09 > 0:23:12Have you got any highlights that really stand out?
0:23:12 > 0:23:13I've been five-time world champion,
0:23:13 > 0:23:15and winning here in Fort William, the home World Cup,
0:23:15 > 0:23:18we actually won that together. It's so cool.
0:23:18 > 0:23:21And these kids that race now could experience that with their siblings.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24I'm after some top tips on what I need to do and think about.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26The first bit of advice is to go steady.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28It's a great sport but it can be dangerous.
0:23:28 > 0:23:31You're racing down a mountain, there's rocks, there's trees.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34There's a lot to go wrong, so I think the best way
0:23:34 > 0:23:35is to ease into it.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37It's great to get tips like that,
0:23:37 > 0:23:39but as I make my way to the start line,
0:23:39 > 0:23:42the nerves are beginning to kick in.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45The course I'm taking on is 500 metres of fast-paced twists,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47turns, slopes and drops,
0:23:47 > 0:23:49which will be tough enough...
0:23:49 > 0:23:50and then the rain begins.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53So what once was a glorious sunny day
0:23:53 > 0:23:56has turned into a lovely wintry one. I like this weather.
0:23:56 > 0:23:58I'm just not too sure how I feel about riding in it.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I've got the right gear on, the right bike,
0:24:00 > 0:24:03but things are going to be a little slippier than I'm used to.
0:24:03 > 0:24:05Rider 90 is on track.
0:24:05 > 0:24:06Wish me luck.
0:24:06 > 0:24:08OK, here we go.
0:24:08 > 0:24:09He's off.
0:24:09 > 0:24:11The course is now really slippy
0:24:11 > 0:24:13so I have to take it slowly to begin with
0:24:13 > 0:24:15to get used to the trail and the conditions.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20I start to build confidence until...
0:24:22 > 0:24:24HE GASPS
0:24:24 > 0:24:26..I lose momentum and put my foot down.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27I'm annoyed with myself.
0:24:27 > 0:24:29I don't want to do that again.
0:24:32 > 0:24:33Because it's so wet and so rainy,
0:24:33 > 0:24:35I'm convinced I'm going to slip.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38So I'm using my brakes and trying to slow down as much as I can.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40I'm beginning to pick up the pace
0:24:40 > 0:24:43and start to spot obstacles earlier.
0:24:43 > 0:24:45Corran and Emily's training is paying off.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52All we've got to do is make it round to the end.
0:24:52 > 0:24:53That's all I've got to do.
0:24:53 > 0:24:55Just make it down to the end.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Pedal down, do what you were told...
0:25:00 > 0:25:01This bit's going to be slippy.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04Oh, but you made it. Mate, we're doing it.
0:25:06 > 0:25:09But then I come across the biggest drop on the course.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14It's terrifying. Are you kidding?!
0:25:18 > 0:25:20I've just got to go for it.
0:25:23 > 0:25:24Yes, you did it!
0:25:24 > 0:25:26That's the bit I was scared of.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28I'm so chuffed I made it.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30The end is in sight.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36I genuinely thought I was going to fall off
0:25:36 > 0:25:37on a couple of occasions,
0:25:37 > 0:25:40but the challenge was to make it to the end.
0:25:40 > 0:25:41I fell off once at the beginning
0:25:41 > 0:25:43and it was the slowest part of the track.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46There you are. Not quite Emily and Corran's standard,
0:25:46 > 0:25:49but I enjoyed it. Give it a go. You'll love it.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51And Corran and Emily's standard is the very best.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54They both end the weekend as champions.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56- Corran, how are you feeling? - I'm excited.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58I didn't expect to come first.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00You must feel so good. Emily, how about you?
0:26:00 > 0:26:02Well, it was really hard,
0:26:02 > 0:26:03there was a lot of pedalling,
0:26:03 > 0:26:07and I had no idea that I was going to come first.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I'm so proud to have gone from beginner
0:26:09 > 0:26:13to a run at the World Cup in such a short space of time,
0:26:13 > 0:26:15and a lot of that is down to my coaches,
0:26:15 > 0:26:18two young people who I think have got big futures
0:26:18 > 0:26:20in downhill mountain biking.
0:26:24 > 0:26:26Quite possibly the slowest I've ever been on a bike
0:26:26 > 0:26:28but really good fun.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30- Final question.- What? - Where was Shelley?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Right here. See? Everyone knew it
0:26:32 > 0:26:34but only one person got there the fastest.

0:27:32 > 0:27:33- A romantic one. Do you know why?- No.
0:27:33 > 0:27:36- Because they're a bit mushy. - Ha! That makes me happy.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39That's good. That was quite a POD joke. Odd joke.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41- OK. We should probably go.- Yeah.
