I went behind the scenes at Wigan's

FA Cup win over City.

Go online to vote for this

week's top tekkers -

David Silva or Cesc Fabregas.

See you.

Good morning. I'm Ricky and this is

Newsround.

OK, time for a quick

round-up of some of

today's sports stories.

The Winter Olympics are over.

Yesterday's closing ceremony had

pyrotechnics, puppets,

and amazing light shows to mark

the end of two weeks of competition.

It was Team GB's best ever winter

Games with five medals.

Our athletes are expected

to arrive home later today.

Manchester City have won their first

trophy under manager Pep Guardiola.

They beat Arsenal 3-0

in the League Cup final at Wembley.

For Arsenal, the League Cup remains

the only domestic trophy manager

Arsene Wenger has not won

during his 21 years in charge.

In the Premier League,

Jesse Lingard headed the winner

for Manchester United as they beat

Chelsea 2-1 at Old Trafford.

The win takes United back

to second in the table.

Chelsea drop to fifth

after Tottenham's 1-0 victory

at Crystal Palace earlier

in the day.

Next to the inspiring story

of teenager Billy Monger.

Despite losing both of his legs

in an accident, he's never given up

on his dream of becoming

a racing driver.

Hi.

I'm Billy Monger and I'm here today

to show you around by car

that is adapted so I can hopefully

race British F3 this year.

Last year Billy lost both

of his legs in a crash while racing.

Now the 18-year-old is back behind

the wheel of a single seater car.

So how does he do it?

12 years of my life I spent driving

a certain way and now someone has

just changed everything I learnt

to drive in a different way.

I'm getting used to it though.

Basically the adaptations are that

most of it is on the wheel now.

The most important pedal

is this side for me,

the left-hand side of the wheel.

I've got my fraught pedal.

That accelerates the car

and allows me to accelerate

in straight lines and round corners.

Every lap I do I'm learning

something new about whether it is

better to control it

a certain way or not.

I brake with my right prosthetic.

We've got a shorter one

which gives me more control over it.

And then on the right-hand side

of the steering wheel

there are two paddles.

The top one being up,

the bottom one down.

And then a hand clutch

just to pull away.

That's basically the controls that

we've come up with and what is

working best for me so far.

To be honest, it's been the most

calm place since my accident,

being back behind the wheel

of a racing car.

That's where I've wanted to be

since my accident and to get

back behind the wheel,

I just feel completely in control

and just relax when I'm out there.

It's a bit surreal but I'm sure

when it comes to that first

racing weekend in April, we'll be

ready for the challenge ahead of us.

Good luck.

Here on Newsround, we love hearing

about you, so we've travelled

all over the country to hear some

of your amazing stories.

This week we're hearing from Edith

about life on a farm and why

she wants to be a?farmer

when she grows up.?

I read it and I'm nine years old and

I live on a farm. We have horses,

cows, chickens and we've got 1000

sheep. The worst part about living

on a farm would be marking the

animals out. It is quite hard and it

doesn't smell very nice. And it is

really far to get to the shops and

your friends. The best thing about

living on a farm is you have got

loads of space to play on. And there

are lots of animals to play with. I

have eight other siblings. Raven,

Ruben, miles and then there's me.

Violet, Sydney, Anis, Clemmie and

Nancy. There's always someone to

play with but sometimes your

brothers and sisters steal one or

two things of yours. My main job on

the farm is to feed a calf called

Joy. She is very excitable. We

bottle-feed her milk and we give her

he and cake. My mum is my role model

because I want to be like when I am

older. I want to be a farmer when I

am older.

She's a good laughs.

Finally not long now

until Mother's Day.

It's not this Sunday but next.

So head to Newsround online,

get in touch and tell

us your special stories

about your mum, grandma,

step-mum, aunt or any other

important woman in your life.

That's it for now.

I'm back in around half an hour.
