in the Women's World Cup yesterday, So we thought we'd take a look

:00:17.:00:19.

England's win was the fourth time the women's team have lifted the

World Cup trophy. They are part of a very select list. Sunday's final was

the most watched game of women's cricket in history. They late crowd

runs in one game and she even coined a new shot, the Nat-meg.

:01:39.:01:41.

From world cup winners to an Olympic superhero.

:01:42.:01:42.

Michael Phelps is one of the fastest swimmers on Earth,

:01:43.:01:45.

but he took up a pretty weird challenge yesterday

:01:46.:01:47.

It's possibly the biggest swimming showdown...

:01:48.:01:59.

And I have to say right at the start it wasn't a real shark,

:02:00.:02:03.

but a simulated one that he raced against.

:02:04.:02:05.

Which some people found disappointing.

:02:06.:02:09.

Anyway, let's get to the challenge, set in the waters of

:02:10.:02:12.

OK, so if you're Team Phelps here's what he's got going for him.

:02:13.:02:18.

He's the world record holder for 100m and 200m butterfly.

:02:19.:02:21.

And for this challenge he was specially equipped

:02:22.:02:23.

with a wetsuit and monofin to help mimic a shark's

:02:24.:02:26.

Team Shark - well, the species averages a speed of 25mph

:02:27.:02:33.

and its sheer size gives it the edge as well.

:02:34.:02:38.

It looks really close! I can't even watch!

:02:39.:02:58.

Phelps came in at 38.2 seconds so he got beaten by just 2 seconds.

:02:59.:03:06.

Team Shark - go celebrate, Team Phelps better luck next time.

:03:07.:03:15.

Next, Great Britain's under 23's team took on Turkey

at the The World Wheelchair basketball championships last

:03:19.:03:20.

month - and for the first time they won GOLD!

:03:21.:03:23.

It was this match with this shot that gave the GB

But it hasn't stopped there, the team have reunited here

in Sheffield because they are now training around the clock

:03:36.:03:37.

for the European basketball championships, and is even some hope

for Paralympic success in the future.

:03:41.:03:46.

We've been back just over two weeks, so it is starting to set in.

:03:47.:03:51.

You look back, since I've been back I've not thought about it too much.

:03:52.:03:54.

It's good to have a think back, you don't get much

:03:55.:03:57.

time to stop and think about the stuff we've achieved.

:03:58.:04:02.

What is it about wheelchair basketball you love?

:04:03.:04:05.

I've always been so competitive, every aspect has made my life

:04:06.:04:07.

a million times better than without it.

:04:08.:04:09.

Could we be seeing Paralympics in 2020?

:04:10.:04:12.

I hope so, if we could achieve gold, that is my dream.
