0:00:16 > 0:00:21First - there are just four days to go until
0:00:21 > 0:00:26the greatest show on Earth, the Olympics, kicks off.
0:00:26 > 0:00:29Team GB are arriving at their training camp in Brazil
0:00:30 > 0:00:32and among those who've just landed is sprinter Dina Asher-Smith,
0:00:32 > 0:00:34the fastest woman in British history.
0:00:34 > 0:00:40Here's what she's hoping to do in Rio.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Focusing on running as fast as I can in the moment that counts
0:00:43 > 0:00:45is definitely what I'm going for.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47I don't know how far that's going to get me.
0:00:47 > 0:00:51I don't know, it might be a final place, it might be better than that,
0:00:51 > 0:00:55but as long as I've gone out there and genuinely done the best
0:00:55 > 0:00:57that I can, fingers crossed, touch wood, run faster than ever
0:00:57 > 0:01:02before, it will be good.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Believe it or not, four years ago, she was a kit
0:01:04 > 0:01:06carrier at the London 2012 Olympics.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Team GB had a great Games, winning 65 medals.

0:01:12 > 0:01:15It's nearly four years now since the Olympics came to London
0:01:15 > 0:01:16and what a Games it was.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20The big star heading into the Games was Mr Usain Bolt.
0:01:20 > 0:01:24The pressure was on him to deliver on the track, and he certainly
0:01:24 > 0:01:25rose to the challenge.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29He's pulling away!
0:01:29 > 0:01:30He's going to win the gold!
0:01:30 > 0:01:329.64.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35Team GB cyclists were favourites going into the Games and they
0:01:35 > 0:01:39certainly didn't disappoint.

0:01:54 > 0:02:00of all time in London.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03Team GB's defining moment came on the day now forever

0:02:22 > 0:02:26Others came into the Olympics with a point to prove after narrowly
0:02:26 > 0:02:28missing out on gold in her three previous Olympics, finally
0:02:28 > 0:02:34tears of joy for rower Katherine Grainger.
0:02:34 > 0:02:35At long, long last, Katherine Grainger is
0:02:35 > 0:02:39the Olympic champion.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42Over in tennis, Britain's Andy Murray got revenge on Roger Federer
0:02:42 > 0:02:47just weeks after losing to him at Wimbledon.
0:02:47 > 0:02:56London 2012 was a ground-breaking Games for women.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Brunei sent athletes to the Olympics
0:02:58 > 0:03:01for the first time ever, and in boxing women were finally
0:03:01 > 0:03:04allowed to compete in the ring, with Team GB's Nicola Adams
0:03:04 > 0:03:05bursting onto the scene.
0:03:05 > 0:03:09Nicola Adams of Great Britain has just made sporting history!
0:03:09 > 0:03:11And the Brownlee brothers, Alistair and Jonathan, picked up
0:03:11 > 0:03:15gold and bronze in the triathlon.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18Although not everything went to plan...
0:03:18 > 0:03:23Oh, here you go, the first calamity.
0:03:23 > 0:03:26..it was an incredible fortnight of sport and will certainly
0:03:26 > 0:03:28take some beating.
0:03:28 > 0:03:37Over to you, Rio.
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Children's writer and illustrator Liz Pichon has created
0:03:40 > 0:03:43a new tapestry to mark 950 years since the Battle of Hastings -
0:03:43 > 0:03:45one of the most important events in English history.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48BBC reporter Holly Hamilton is with the artwork in the town
0:03:48 > 0:03:56where the battle took place.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58Good morning and welcome to beautiful Battle this morning.
0:03:58 > 0:04:01We are here in the Abbey taking a look at this tapestry,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03which has had a bit of a 21st-century tilt,
0:04:03 > 0:04:04it's fair to say.
0:04:04 > 0:04:07We have here the War of the Roses, William Shakespeare's birth right
0:04:07 > 0:04:10here, Guy Fawkes and the gunpowder plot as you've never seen it before,
0:04:10 > 0:04:11the Battle of Waterloo.
0:04:11 > 0:04:13All of these images have been chosen by children.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15Imagine having to come up with the top ten events
0:04:15 > 0:04:17in British history.
0:04:17 > 0:04:20Not easy but the schoolchildren have managed to do it and it's
0:04:20 > 0:04:22all because of English Heritage.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25Let's speak to Michael, who came up with this idea.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28Tell me, why have you created this tapestry with a bit
0:04:28 > 0:04:30of a modern twist on it?
0:04:30 > 0:04:33To mark the 950th anniversary of the Battle of Hastings,
0:04:33 > 0:04:40we asked children across the country for their top ten moments.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42They came back with some fantastic choices, from William the Conqueror
0:04:42 > 0:04:44all the way to the World Wide Web.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48We asked children's illustrator Liz Pichon to bring it to life.
0:04:48 > 0:04:53We hope it will inspire children about history and encourage them
0:04:53 > 0:04:56to go out and visit the sites like here, where history was made.
0:04:56 > 0:05:01That's all from me, Newsround's back right here in about half an hour.
