:02:14. > :02:15.that seven-year-old girl, all the way through to right now?

:02:16. > :02:23.I still kind of feel like that little girl who rode her bike just

:02:24. > :02:32.It seems we do have four gold medals now. If I can inspire that next

:02:45. > :02:47.it. Becky James and Katy Marchant won silver and bronze and can't

:02:48. > :02:52.believe they got to show the podium together. It was amazing, a dream

:02:53. > :02:57.come true. We have worked so hard over the last months so, yeah, it is

:03:30. > :03:36.was younger. Fencing, kayaking, anything I could give go. It is just

:03:37. > :03:40.that sensation, the corners in the velodrome are really tight because

:03:41. > :03:46.the banking is steep. If you have a need for speed it is the perfect

:03:51. > :03:56.to spend time with her family and friends. Me and Jason went back to

:04:37. > :04:39.on the west coast of America, as eight large wildfires continue

:04:44. > :04:45.but officials say one of the largest, the Blue Cut fire,

:04:46. > :04:49.Finally, what do you get if you cross a plane
