0:01:26 > 0:01:29Talking of chilly weather, meet the Grandma in Canada

0:01:29 > 0:01:34who has kept a snowball in her freezer for 11 years!

0:01:34 > 0:01:37She was given it all those years ago by her granddaughter, Alecia,

0:01:37 > 0:01:39who was five at the time.

0:01:39 > 0:01:42She treasured it so much, she put it in a plastic bag

0:01:42 > 0:01:43and kept it in the freezer,

0:01:43 > 0:01:46even taking it with her when she moved house.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Grandma Mae had forgotten all about it until her and Alecia

0:01:49 > 0:01:57found the old photo when she gave it to her 11 years ago.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01And I was like, "Oh, my goodness.

0:02:01 > 0:02:0211 years, that's been there."

0:02:02 > 0:02:04It makes me really happy,

0:02:04 > 0:02:07because I know that she's thinking of me and she has that there.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Part of me is here with her all the time.

0:02:09 > 0:02:16It's really adorable, I love it so much.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Let's get a quick round up of the big sports news.

0:02:18 > 0:02:23There's been gold at the Winter Paralympics for Team GB

0:02:23 > 0:02:27as Menna Fitzpatrick and her guide, Jen Kehoe, won gold medals

0:02:32 > 0:02:36and only their second Winter Paralympic gold ever.

0:02:36 > 0:02:38Millie Knight and Brett Wild also won bronze.

0:02:38 > 0:02:42Let's hear from the winners.

0:02:42 > 0:02:47It's been absolutely astonishing, the way that this week has gone,

0:02:47 > 0:02:53from quite low to extremely, extremely high.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56As soon we crossed the finish line on the second race,

0:02:56 > 0:03:00my confidence got boosted.

0:03:00 > 0:03:02Winning the bronze as well was absolutely amazing.

0:03:02 > 0:03:06To finish on gold medal

0:03:06 > 0:03:11and one of our strong performances this week is beyond words.

0:03:11 > 0:03:15It hasn't sunk in, and it probably won't until we get back to the UK

0:03:15 > 0:03:18and are back in our own beds, and we can have a lie-in.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20The Premier League's top scorer did it again

0:03:20 > 0:03:21for Liverpool yesterday.

0:03:21 > 0:03:23Mohammed Salah scored four goals for his team

0:03:23 > 0:03:25as they beat Watford 5-0.

0:03:25 > 0:03:30His manager says he's getting as good as Messi!

0:03:30 > 0:03:31And is Mark Cavendish

0:03:31 > 0:03:34one of the unluckiest men in sport, or what?

0:03:34 > 0:03:36The British cyclist had a big crash

0:03:36 > 0:03:38in the Milan San Remo race yesterday,

0:03:38 > 0:03:40his third one this year.

0:03:40 > 0:03:48He's cracked a rib and has bruising but his team doctors say he's OK.

0:03:49 > 0:03:51OK, history fans, stick around for this,

0:03:51 > 0:03:54we're heading to Liverpool to see an ancient underground army,

0:03:54 > 0:03:56kept hidden for thousands of years.

0:03:56 > 0:04:00Martin's got this.

0:04:00 > 0:04:05This is the Terracotta Army.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08It was buried deep underground, secretly guarding the tomb

0:04:08 > 0:04:11of China's first Emperor for more than 2,000 years,

0:04:11 > 0:04:16until it was discovered by accident as farmers dug the land.

0:04:16 > 0:04:19The tomb belonged to Emperor Qin Shi Huang,

0:04:19 > 0:04:22the founder of the Chinese Empire, who had many enemies.

0:04:22 > 0:04:24He believed that his full-sized clay soldiers would protect him

0:04:24 > 0:04:26in the next life, after he died.

0:04:26 > 0:04:29Now they've carefully been brought back to the surface and repaired

0:04:29 > 0:04:34for everyone to see.

0:04:34 > 0:04:38But you don't have to go all the way to China to see them.

0:04:38 > 0:04:40Some of them are right here in Liverpool.

0:04:40 > 0:04:44So these kids have been to check them out.

0:04:44 > 0:04:48How long did it take to make the terracotta warriors?

0:04:48 > 0:04:51We don't know exactly how long it took to make one warrior.

0:04:51 > 0:04:53But, as you can see, they are so detailed and elaborate

0:04:53 > 0:04:57that I imagine it would have taken quite some time to make each one.

0:04:57 > 0:04:59Each part of the body was made separately,

0:04:59 > 0:05:02so the legs and feet were made, and they are solid clay -

0:05:02 > 0:05:06because they are so heavy, the base of them had to be quite sturdy.

0:05:06 > 0:05:07Who was the strongest warrior?

0:05:07 > 0:05:08The warriors were obviously the soldiers

0:05:08 > 0:05:11that were ready to fight in battle,

0:05:11 > 0:05:13but in another pit nearby were figures

0:05:13 > 0:05:16that the Emperor had made to entertain him in the afterlife,

0:05:16 > 0:05:19and in that pit were acrobats and strongmen,

0:05:19 > 0:05:22and those strongmen figures had really big muscles,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25so I imagine they were meant to be very strong.

0:05:25 > 0:05:29So what do they make of the army?

0:05:29 > 0:05:31I'm so amazed how big the terracotta warriors are.

0:05:31 > 0:05:35I like how they look, and they've got armour on

0:05:35 > 0:05:36and are really detailed.

0:05:36 > 0:05:38When I imagined what they would look like,

0:05:38 > 0:05:41I wasn't expecting them to be a really big size.

0:05:41 > 0:05:44I think that it's actually pretty impressive

0:05:44 > 0:05:47that they came from China, all the way to Liverpool,

0:05:47 > 0:05:51and that they're still in really good condition.

0:05:51 > 0:05:58That's it from me for now, Newsround's back at 2:15pm.
