Hi, Martin here with your

Wednesday Newsround.

At this year's Winter

games in South Korea,

Menna Fitzpatrick and her guide

Jen Kehoe became the most succesful

British Winter Paralympians ever.

They got a gold, two

silvers and a bronze.

And they have brought their medals

to visitors here.

First, let's see them in action

on the slopes in Pyeongchang.

Menna Fitzpatrick, she's giving

herself every opportunity

for a piece of history

here for Great Britain.

Still driving, still turning.

Care here on this

last tricky section.

Watch the clock.

She's in front by

a second and a half.

So too is Menna Fitzpatrick.

That was an absolutely brilliant

second half of the run.

Great Britain will hit

their target of seven medals.

Jen, Menna, congratulations, great

result. Can we just see your medals

very quickly?

They look really big.

They are really heavy.

I bet,

because you have only got four! How

does it feel to be Britain's most

successful winter Paralympian is?

It

definitely hasn't sunk in yet, we

came home two days ago and it has

been nonstop, feet haven't touched

the ground.

A bit of a whirlwind.

Can we talk about the performance

that won the gold medal, what was so

different about that performance on

the day and made it a gold medal

winning performance?

We just went

out there to have fun and do what we

do best, which is skee.

Ski fast!

And we worked really well as a team,

the communication was really

perfect.

We just worked as one.

Brilliant. Menna, can I ask you a

quick question, for anyone watching

your discipline, it is exhilarating

and exciting and also, that someone

like me, quite scary. You have a

visual impairment, how do you do it?

Jen wears a bright orange jacket in

front of her so I am basically

following the jacket and the outline

of Jen and trying to stick in her

line, when she is telling me what to

turn, what the slope is doing, what

the snow is doing, trying to paint a

picture in my head.

You must have to

have quite a good relationship, you

must be good at skiing, Jen.

I

learned when I was nine, living in

schizo and and I learned to ski race

in the British Army and that is how

I got into guiding -- living in

Switzerland. And we trained really

hard together, you need to work

together as a team and some of the

best teams in the world have worked

together for a really long time and

get to know each other.

Does it feel

different now, Menna, that you have

the gold medal?

It does, I still

can't quite believe it. I walked

through Euston station this morning

and the girl said, "Oh, my God, it's

from the TV!"

How does that feel?

It

feels a bit strange and a bit

embarrassing, her mum was going...

Because she was shouting quite

loudly. But it is a very surreal

experience.

Thank you very much

coming in, it has been an absolute

pleasure. Can we just see the medals

again? I think everybody would love

to see them there is the goal. Guys,

that is perfect, well done,

congratulations.

From two amazing sports people to

another and if you had to attempt a

world record, what would you do? I

would need lots of chocolate within

a minute but one man in Australia

just wanted to swim, but there is

something pretty remarkable about

him.

Take your mark, get ready, go.

This is George.

He's attempting to set a new world

record at 99 years old.

Whoa!

He's attempting to set

the record for the fastest

50m freestyle swimmer

in the 100-104 age category.

Although he's 99, he's been allowed

to enter because

his 100th birthday is next month.

Come on, Georgie boy.

So he is past the halfway mark.

George used to swim a lot

when he was younger,

but he gave it up and only started

again at the age of 80.

Go yersel', Georgie boy!

Come on, Georgie.

Come on, let's rev him

up, let's go, folks.

He finished the race

and clocked 56.12 seconds -

which is 35 seconds faster

than the previous record

set four years ago.

Officials now need to

verify the record before

it is made official.

So how's he feeling?

Thank you very much.

He's exhausted!

Well done, George,

you absolute legend.

Finally - a big day

for this little guy.

The first polar bear to be born

in the UK in 25 years will make it's

first public appearance today.

The cute cub lives at

the Royal Zoological Society's

Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland.

After spending the first four months

of its life in private with its mum,

the time has come for it to venture

out of the den and explore.

So cute.

That's all for now from Newsround.

We are back at 4:20pm. Have a good

day at school.
