Hi, guys, I'm Naz

and this is Newsround.

Here's what's coming up.

Hi, Newsround.

I'm Billy Morgan, professional

snowboarder, and I just

won a bronze medal at

the Winter Olympics.

We talk to an Olympian

straight off the slopes.

England's women aim for glory.

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'm super happy, I never came

into this contest thinking I'd

walk away with a medal.

I was really happy to get

into the finals so,

yeah, over the moon

to walk away with a medal.

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.

It was a chance for the big jumpers

to show off their skills

on their snowboards 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:

And he holds it up.

Yes!

It was huge and he 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 a double

frontside triple 14.

That is massive, that

is absolutely huge.

85.5.

Billy Morgan moves into bronze medal

position and it is a very

long and 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 start having fun, you know?

Snowboarding's such a fun

sport, there's so much

you could do with it that

I think everyone should try.

So if you haven't done it yet,

get down to your local dry slope

or snow dome and give it a shot.

I'm sure you'll love it.

Well done, Billy!

And staying on the slopes -

a furry intruder stole the headlines

during the snowboarding

giant slalom competition.

Check out this brave

squirrel narrowly

avoiding a collison

with Austrian Daniela Ulbing

on her run.

The squirrel seemed to appear

from nowhere at speed and missed

the snowboarder by centimetres.

How close was that!

The squirrel which just fine.

Next 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

that I never stop speaking.

And I think that's because I need

to make up for all the years

when I wasn't speaking.

Jack, you are great.

England's women are still on course

for a second Grand Slam

in a row in the Six Nations.

The Red Roses made it

three wins out of three,

scoring seven tries

against Scotland.

This try by Ellie Kildunne secured

England's bonus point before

half time and it finished 43-8.

Now, how about this for a big class?

Thousands of students

in the Phillipines got together

to try and break a world record

for the largest art lesson.

200 schools took part.

The current record is held by India.

We'll have to wait a little longer

to see if the Phillipines knocked

them off the top spot.

Just enough time to tell you to head

to Newsround online,

where you can find out how likely

we are to get snow next week.

It's going to be freezing!

Plus, check out the 15-year-old girl

who became the second youngest

figure skater ever to win gold

at the Winter Olympics.

That's it from us.

Thank you so much for watching. I

will be back just before half past

ten tomorrow
