:01:15. > :01:19.as the curtain was brought down on the most expensive games-mac in

:01:20. > :01:23.history. -- the most expensive Games. The home team topped the

:01:24. > :01:26.medal table but all in all, it's been a good Games for Team GB, with

:01:27. > :01:30.our athletes passing the three-medal target set by UK Sport. They've now

:01:31. > :01:34.been promised extra funding for the next four years because they did so

:01:35. > :01:37.well. So here's a look back at the icy highs and chilly lows of the

:01:38. > :01:40.past few weeks. Not since 1924 have Great Britain

:01:41. > :01:44.won four medals at a Winter Olympics, so as the games were

:01:45. > :01:50.brought to a close, Team GB could reflect on a job well done. Jenny

:01:53. > :01:58.slopestlye, Britain's first ever medal on the slopes. Lizzy Yarnold

:01:59. > :02:04.then continued our fine tradition in the women's skeleton, keeping the

:02:05. > :02:07.gold medal firmly in British hands. And then the curlers had us all

:02:08. > :02:12.grabbing for our sweeping brushes, winning two medals in this ancient

:02:13. > :02:15.and absorbing game. UK Sport invested ?13.4 million in funding to

:02:24. > :02:27.were hard to take, highly-rated slopestyle skier James Woods was hit

:02:28. > :02:30.by a hip injury in training and John Jackson's bobsleigh crew led briefly

:02:31. > :02:38.on a tense final afternoon in the Sochi sun. But not everyone was

:02:39. > :02:41.happy with the decision to hold the games in Sochi. Some people

:02:42. > :02:44.protested about the lack of rights in Russia, and particularly the way

:02:45. > :02:50.the government there treats gay people. On the slopes though, things

:02:51. > :02:53.have gone well. There was enough snow, plenty of world records and

:02:54. > :02:56.some memories that will last a long time. And if you're missing the

:02:57. > :03:00.action already, don't worry, because the Paralympics starts in just under

:03:01. > :03:04.two weeks' time. We want to hear from you about the

:03:25. > :03:29.terrific 4-3 win over Swansea, in a match that went back and forth.

:03:30. > :03:32.Daniel Sturridge gave the home side the lead inside three minutes.

:03:33. > :03:35.Jordan Henderson made it two shortly afterwards, but Swansea hit back

:03:36. > :03:38.with two goals in quick succession from former Liverpool man Jonjo

:03:39. > :03:43.Shelvey and Wilfried Bony to make it 2-2. The two sides traded goals

:03:44. > :03:50.again before Henderson eventually grabbed the decisive seventh goal.

:03:51. > :03:58.Norwich pulled off an unlikely 1-0 win over Tottenham at Carrow Road. A

:03:59. > :04:01.goal from Robert Snodgrass was enough to lift Chris Hughton's side

:04:02. > :04:04.four points clear of the relegation zone.

:04:05. > :04:07.And Loic Remy scored in injury time to give Newcastle a much-needed home

:04:08. > :04:12.win as they beat Aston Villa 1-0. It was Alan Pardew's side's first win

:04:13. > :04:15.at St James's Park this year. Sticking with footy, and Scotland

:04:39. > :04:42.meaning "twinkling star" and How How, meaning "cute", are on loan to

:04:43. > :04:48.Belgium for 15 years. They'll start a special breeding programme and go

:04:49. > :04:52.on show to the public in April. That's all from me, Newsround's back
