Hi, I'm Jenny. It's Saturday morning and you're watching Newsround. Stay | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
here for more of this: Big X Factor news as Simon announces he's | :00:10. | :00:12. | |
returning to the UK show. And as the Winter Olympics kicks | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
off, Team GB make a great start in the snowboard slopestyle. | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
The very first medals at the Winter Olympics in the Russian resort of | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Sochi will be up for grabs later today. The Games were officially | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
opened by President Vladmir Putin in a spectacular ceremony yesterday. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
Just look at these fireworks. There was music, dance and lots of theatre | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
to get the Games started. It didn't all go to plan though. Five giant | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
snowflakes were meant to turn into the Olympic rings, but only four of | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
them managed it. Speed skater Jon Eley led Team GB | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
into the stadium. And everybody was wondering how the Olympic cauldron | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
would be lit... Well, they got their answer. Have a look at this parade | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
of fire which then set off all the fireworks. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
And the action has now properly begun. Britain's Billy Morgan has | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
leapt into first place in the snowboard slopestyle semifinals. | :01:13. | :01:15. | |
With team-mate Jamie Nicholls already in the final, Morgan still | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
had work to do to book his place, but he wowed the judges, first with | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
a backside rodeo... He followed that with a "cab double underflip", | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
basically somersaulting in the air whilst holding onto his board... And | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
then he finished it all off with a frontside double ten. The final is | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
on BBC Two right now. And we've got all the extras on the | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Winter Olympics over on our website where you'll find Newsround's | :01:40. | :01:42. | |

Simon Cowell is rejoining the judges on this year's show. The superstar | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
judge left the show in 2010 to launch an American version of the X | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
Factor. But US channel Fox has decided to ditch the show over there | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
after it failed to take off, so Simon's heading home to join the | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
panel here. We don't yet know who else will be joining Cowell to make | :02:10. | :02:13. | |
up the rest of the judges, but Simon's return is seen as a big | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
deal. It will get people speaking about it again. People will care | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
about the show more. He is going to be the head judge and replaces Gary | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
Barlow. For the first seven years when he was there and being nasty, | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
it got the best ratings. They fell after he left. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
In football, the top four are all in action in the Premiere League today. | :02:35. | :02:37. | |

fourth-placed Liverpool take on leaders Arsenal at home in the early | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
kick-off. West Ham are at Villa this | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
afternoon, but heir battle to avoid relegation has suffered a blow, | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
because they'll be without striker Andy Carroll. The latest attempt to | :02:49. | :02:50. | |
overturn the player's three-match ban, received for a sending off, has | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
failed. That's all from me, Tune into | :02:53. | :02:55. | |
