:01:54. > :02:02.Breathtaking stuff! It Jenny, do were the first Briton to win a medal

:02:03. > :02:07.on the snow in the Winter Olympics. What was that like? It was amazing,

:02:08. > :02:11.slopes to, it was the first time I'd been in the Olympics for

:02:12. > :02:15.snowboarding so to go there and represent my country at something

:02:16. > :02:21.was amazing. As we saw, it's incredible, I don't know how you do

:02:22. > :02:25.it but it can be quite dangerous. You've both sustained injuries, four

:02:26. > :02:29.years ago, you were supposed to be at the Olympics in Russia but you

:02:30. > :02:35.had an injury. I did one of my side flips and I misjudged the landing,

:02:36. > :02:40.it happens, took a pretty big blow to the head which knocked me out and

:02:41. > :02:46.cause some facial damage, I was unable to compete. How long did it

:02:47. > :02:50.take to recover? Quite a while, I sustained another two concussions

:02:51. > :02:56.after that so it's taken me three years to get over that. But now I am

:02:57. > :03:00.100%. Jenny I know he retired last year but you are looking after some

:03:01. > :03:08.of the younger guys on the team, what are our hopes for 2018? We've

:03:28. > :03:32.of the jump and its the best two tricks that you can do. I like the

:03:33. > :03:38.sound of that. We don't have much snow in this country, are we always

:03:39. > :03:44.had a disadvantage? I think not, sometimes, anyway, yes, when we go

:03:45. > :03:47.away to training I feel like we take advantage because we know we have

:03:48. > :03:54.limited time but if people live there they kind of don't make the

:03:55. > :03:56.most of it. And we have the dry slopes, the snow domes. Great stuff,

:03:57. > :03:59.thank you both for coming in. Away from the snow, Leicester City

:04:53. > :04:59.He's a copy of the UK's first ever robot.

:05:00. > :05:02.The original Eric was built in 1928 and worked using gears and

:05:03. > :05:05.However after touring the world Eric went missing, and was

:05:06. > :05:09.That is until the Science Museum launched a project to

:05:10. > :05:11.build a copy of him to share his story with the world.
