0:00:31 > 0:00:33OK, guys, straight to South Korea and the Winter Olympics,

0:00:41 > 0:00:44at the Olympics after they thrashed the team of Russian athletes 10-3.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01And meet the "Flying Tomato", Shaun White.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04The American has become a three time Olympic champion after producing
0:01:04 > 0:01:09some outstanding twists and turns to take gold in the halfpipe final.
0:01:09 > 0:01:17But the Flying Tomato isn't the only snowboarder making headlines.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20The sport is producing some of the youngest names to rule
0:01:20 > 0:01:27the Winter Olympics.

0:01:45 > 0:01:46is a
0:01:46 > 0:01:49Her mum and dad were born and raised in South Korea before they
0:01:49 > 0:01:51moved to the States, so where better for Chloe
0:01:51 > 0:01:56to win her first Olympic gold than in her parents' home country?
0:01:56 > 0:01:59She was amazing in the women's halfpipe snowboarding final.
0:01:59 > 0:02:02On her first run, she was already in gold place position, but by her
0:02:02 > 0:02:04third, she was ahead of her competitors by 8.5 points.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07Pretty fantastic for a 17-year-old who has been tweeting more
0:02:07 > 0:02:09about wanting to eat ice cream than win Olympic golds!
0:02:09 > 0:02:10Next up, Red Gerard.
0:02:10 > 0:02:14He's 17, from America, and happens to be amazing at slopestyle.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16But it nearly went wrong.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18He overslept on the morning of his final, missing
0:02:18 > 0:02:20his 6am wake-up call!
0:02:20 > 0:02:23But the extra 20 minutes obviously did him good.
0:02:23 > 0:02:29He went on to win.
0:02:29 > 0:02:33Not only did he claim America's first gold at the
0:02:33 > 0:02:35Winter Olympics, but he has made history as the youngest
0:02:35 > 0:02:38American man to win gold since 1928.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41And these two winning teenagers could be the tip of the iceberg.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47ruling in the snow in South Korea. Nice one, guys!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55Now, it's the most loved up day of the year for some...
0:02:55 > 0:02:56Happy Valentine's Day!
0:02:56 > 0:02:59But where did it come from and why did it start?
0:02:59 > 0:03:02It's time for the Big Question.
0:03:02 > 0:03:05You caught me writing my Valentine's Day card!
0:03:05 > 0:03:08That's terribly convenient when we take a look at this week's
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Big Question.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Who invented Valentine's Day and why?
0:03:17 > 0:03:20What a LOVE-ly Big Question.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22See what I did there?
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Sorry!
0:03:25 > 0:03:28Well, Valentine's Day actually gets its name from a famous
0:03:28 > 0:03:31Saint called Valentine.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35But there are a lots of different stories about who he was.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38The popular belief is that he was a priest from Rome in the third
0:03:38 > 0:03:41century AD.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Emperor Claudius II had banned marriage because
0:03:44 > 0:03:47he thought married men were bad soldiers.
0:03:47 > 0:03:52Valentine thought that this was wrong, so he broke the
0:03:52 > 0:03:55rules and arranged marriages in secret.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58When the Emperor found out, he was furious!
0:03:58 > 0:04:06He threw Valentine in jail and sentenced him to death!
0:04:07 > 0:04:11But Valentine fell in love with the jailer's daughter,
0:04:11 > 0:04:15and when he was taken to be killed, he sent her a love
0:04:15 > 0:04:19letter signed, "from your Valentine".
0:04:19 > 0:04:22But why in February, you ask?
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Well, there used to be a Roman festival in
0:04:24 > 0:04:27the middle of February to mark the start of spring.
0:04:27 > 0:04:31As part of the celebrations, boys drew names of
0:04:31 > 0:04:33girls from a box.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35They would be boyfriend and girlfriend during the
0:04:35 > 0:04:39festival, and sometimes, they would get married.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41This developed into a festival in the middle of February
0:04:41 > 0:04:47to remember Saint Valentine too, and Valentine's Day was born!
0:04:47 > 0:04:53A day to express feelings to those you love.
0:04:53 > 0:05:00Finally, when I say "pig" you probably think
0:05:00 > 0:05:04about mud rather than paints and brushes -
0:05:04 > 0:05:11but THAT is about to change - watch this.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14and
0:05:14 > 0:05:19yes, this is real. There is something unusual about
0:05:19 > 0:05:28this page. This is a caso or Pig-casso! What else would she be
0:05:28 > 0:05:32called? She lives in a farm Sanctuary in a small town in South
0:05:32 > 0:05:37Africa. Their owners say she loves painting landscapes, and most
0:05:37 > 0:05:40recently tried her snout at a portrait of US President Donald
0:05:40 > 0:05:47Trump. Is it that one or this one?! She is famous around the world for
0:05:47 > 0:05:53her PE pics. Trust me, it is not hogwash! She even got her own art
0:05:53 > 0:05:59exhibition. Let's hope she does not run out of oink. I mean, Inc!
0:05:59 > 0:06:00She made
