Hi, guys, I'm Naz.

This is Newsround.

Coming up in the next few minutes...

I just won a bronze at the Winter

Olympics.

We talk to an Olympian

straight off the slopes.

It's getting colder,

so is snow on the way?

And Jack tells us

his inspiring story.

First up, medal news for Team GB.

And overnight there was a bronze

for Great Britain -

making this our most

successful Winter Games ever!

Billy Morgan took third place

in the Big Air event in South Korea.

Take a look.

I am super-happy.

I never came into this competition

thinking I was going to get a medal.

I was really happy

to get into the final.

So over the moon to walk

away with a medal.

So Let's take a look

back at Billy's win.

So let's take a look

back at Billy's win.

The second-to-last day

of the Winter Olympics,

And Billy Morgan was the hero.

A chance for the big jumpers to show

off their skills in the Big Air

event in South Korea.

A huge 49-metre ramp stands in front

of Billy and medal glory.

Complicated tricks and a nice clean

landing are what's needed

to impress the judges.

He'd only just qualified

for the final - but on his

second jump, he did this.

COMMENTATOR:

He holds it up.

Yes!

It was huge and put the nose grab

on it, the hardest grab.

Yes, Billy.

That left one last chance to secure

a spot in the medal positions.

Billy Morgan, yes.

Oh, yes!

Billy Morgan with the double grab

frontside triple 14.

That is massive, it's huge.

85.5.

Billy Morgan moves into

bronze medal position.

And a very long, nervous wait.

Canada's Max Parrow was his biggest

threat for the bronze medal.

But he had a bit of a nightmare

and crashed out on his final jump.

So Billy did it!

An injury last year meant he almost

missed out on the Games.

But lots of hard work meant that

instead, he helped Team GB come home

with a fifth medal to make

it their best performance

at a Winter Olympics ever.

So does he have any tips for any

of you guys who fancy competing

in the Games one day?

My tips for getting

into snowboarding are find out

where your local dry slope

or snow dome is.

And get down there

and just at having fun.

And get down there and

just start having fun.

Snowboarding is such a fun sport.

There is some much you can do

with it that I think

everybody should try it.

If you haven't done it yet,

get down to your local dry slope

or snow dome and give it a shot.

I am sure you will love it.

Get your hats and gloves

on and get wrapped up!

Why?

Well, the Beast from

the East is on its way!

What am I talking about?

Well, take a look at this...

The gritters are getting

ready as Britain braces

itself for a big freeze.

What weather forecasters

are calling the

Beast from the East is sweeping

in from Siberia in Russia.

Basically, there's lots of cold air

hanging around there -

and easterly winds are blowing it

all over to the UK.

Weather experts have issued

a cold weather alert

for the whole of the country.

It's a level three warning,

which means there's a 99% chance

of icy conditions or snow

between now and Thursday.

It's certainly not the first snow

we'll have this winter.

It's certainly not the first snow

we've had this winter.

But it could feel chillier

because of the wind.

Next week, it's supposed to be

the official start of spring -

but it looks like that's

going to be delayed.

Don't put away those hats

and gloves just yet!

Well, for a full weather forecast,

head to Newsround online and we can

tell you more about that snow.

Plus our brand new Quiz

of the Week is there.

If you've got a bit of time

while you are there,

check that out, too.

Here on Newsround, we love hearing

about your amazing lives,

so we've travelled the country

to hear some of your

inspiring stories.

One of the people we met was Jack.

Watch this.

I have ADHD, dyspraxia and autism.

I have problems

communicating with children.

And making friends.

Hello.

My name's Jack.

I'm ten years old and when I was

little, I was not able to speak.

And I had speech and

language therapy, but that

didn't really help me.

I used to do head-banging

whenever I wanted something.

I had to wear a red solid helmet.

It was just so sad for me.

I just hated it.

My first music lesson,

a singing teacher was playing

the piano and then I started

to sing "la la la".

I was like, oh, my God!

I can speak!

But basically, I had to learn

a word by singing it,

and then speaking it.

So once I've got a word,

I've got it for basically like life.

Music really relaxes me,

because when I'm getting

all stressed, it's like someone's

putting a spell on me that I can,

like, music makes me so happy.

If there is any other children

like me who have problems speaking,

find something that will relax you,

like for example drawing,

or music or anything

that will relax you.

Now I start speaking,

my mum says I never stop speaking.

And I think that's because I need

to make up for all the years

when I wasn't speaking.

Great stuff, Jack.

That's it from me.

I'm back in an hour.

See you then.
