You're watching Newsround on Wednesday seventh May. I'm Ricky and | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
here's what's on the way... Why the world's fastest man is | :00:07. | :00:09. | |
pleading for the return of his running shoes. | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
And the family of geese who stopped traffic with their evening stroll. | :00:13. | :00:15. | |
This is Newsround. First - we're going to take you live | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
to the start of a really exciting new sporting event which kicks off | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
in Britain this morning. Cycling fans around the country are looking | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
forward to the first ever Women's Tour of Britain. It's five stages | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
across five days. And some of Britain's best cyclists like Laura | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Trott and Dani King will be taking part. The racing starts off later | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
through the streets of Northampton. The BBC's Nick Hope is there for us | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
now. Tell us more. This is massive for women's cycling. We have got | :00:55. | :00:58. | |
some of the best riders in the world, around 100, including the | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
Olympic champion. We are expecting thousands of people to be lining the | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
streets to cheer on their heroes. It is a chance for them to prove that | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
they are every bit as good as the men. If the event goes well there is | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
a chance that more women's races will be held here in the future. | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
Taking part are Laura Trott and Dani King, and also Liz Young is dead, | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
and they have got to travel 310 miles this week. We will have a | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
quick look at the bike they will be using. It is about ?6,000 for one of | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
these, so I will be gentle with it. It is very light. That is what you | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
get for ?6,000. It is about the same weight as this microphone. Pretty | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
impressive. As we say, they have got to travel 310 miles on those things. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
It will not be easy but they hope all of the support on the streets | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
from the crowd will boost them. They want to see more people taking part | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
in the sport, ridiculously women and young girls. | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
Football now, and could this teenager be the bright hope that | :02:09. | :02:13. | |
Manchester United so badly needs? 18-year-old James Wilson stole the | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
show in his debut at Old Trafford, as United beat Hull City 3-1. It was | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
a historic night for a number of reasons. Nemanja Vidic played his | :02:24. | :02:27. | |
last game for United. And boss Ryan Giggs MIGHT have played his last | :02:28. | :02:37. | |
game too. And he very nearly scored. I got coaxed into taking it 30 yards | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
out. I cannot remember the last time I took one of them, so I was just | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
pleased that I could reach. Was it in your mind that it could have been | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
your last time? Not really. I will do my job both on the pitch and off | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
the pitch as best as I can. Next up - burglars have made a very | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
fast getaway with a pair of running shoes belonging to the world's | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
fastest man, Usain Bolt. The orange trainers were signed by the Jamaican | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
star, and had been displayed in a frame - along with a picture of him | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
when he set a world record in 2009 - at a business in south London. | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
They're thought to be worth 20,000. Usain has appealed for them to be | :03:15. | :03:16. | |
returned. Next - we want you to go to the | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
Newsround website this morning at the end of this bulletin and tell us | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
about the amazing things YOUR grandparents do. Why? Well take a | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
look at THIS athletic superstar. Olga Kotelko is 95 years old and she | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
has won herself more than 750 gold medals in track and field events in | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
Canada. She only took up athletics when she was 77. And now she's ahead | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
of the field in her age group in sports like high jump, long jump and | :03:43. | :03:51. | |
javelin. I have over 750 gold medals. In my last age group, which | :03:52. | :04:04. | |
was 90-94, I made 26 world records. Records are made to be broken. | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
Amazing stuff. Amazing lady! So go to the Newsround website and tell us | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
about your brilliant sporting grandparents. Try out our quiz to | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
see how much you know about the news. And check out how these | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
amazing pictures of miniature people were made. Now, we know how slow and | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
dull it can be, stuck in the car in loads of traffic. But drivers in | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
America were delayed for over an hour last night because of a very | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
different kind of traffic. A family of Canada geese decided it was a | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
good time for an evening stroll. And all people could do was sit in their | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
cars and wait for them to finish waddling along. Eventually the two | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
geese and five goslings were escorted to safety by two police | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
cars and a tow truck. That's us out of time for now. I'll be back at | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
8.15 with news on Tom Daley. And you can see more of these little lion | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
cubs having their first ever swim. You don't want to miss it. Have a | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
great morning and I'll see you soon. | :04:59. | :05:00. |
