0:00:04 > 0:00:06Hi, I'm Ricky.

0:00:06 > 0:00:10It's Sunday and here's what's coming up on the show.

0:00:10 > 0:00:13We bring you the result of Man vs Shark.

0:00:13 > 0:00:19And the ultimate teacher sweetener.

0:00:26 > 0:00:29But first, today and tomorrow events will be taking place in the town

0:00:29 > 0:00:33of Ypres in Belgium to mark 100 years since the Battle

0:00:33 > 0:00:39of Passchendaele which took place during World War One.

0:00:39 > 0:00:43An estimated 245,000 British and Allied soldiers were wounded

0:00:43 > 0:00:48or killed on the battlefield and trenches surrounding the town

0:00:48 > 0:00:51of Ypres and tonight, a ceremony attended by the Duke and Duchess

0:00:51 > 0:00:55of Cambridge will remember those who lost their lives in the fighting.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58Next, Olympic superhero Michael Phelps is one

0:00:58 > 0:01:01of the fastest swimmers on Earth, but he took up a pretty weird

0:01:01 > 0:01:03challenge by racing a shark.

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Sounds weird!

0:01:05 > 0:01:07Look at this.

0:01:07 > 0:01:08Phelps versus shark.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12Shark versus Phelps.

0:01:12 > 0:01:16It's possibly the biggest swimming showdown, well, ever, and I

0:01:16 > 0:01:20have to say right at the start it wasn't a real shark, but a simulated

0:01:20 > 0:01:26one that he raced against which some people found disappointing.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Anyway, let's get to the challenge, set in the waters of

0:01:29 > 0:01:32Cape Town in South Africa.

0:01:32 > 0:01:36If you are Team Phelps, here is what he's got going for him.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40He's the world-record holder for 100 metres and 200 metres butterfly

0:01:40 > 0:01:42and for this challenge, he was specially

0:01:42 > 0:01:50equipped with a wet suit and a monofin

0:01:50 > 0:01:52to help mimic the shark's movement through the water.

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Team Shark, well, the species averages a

0:01:54 > 0:01:58speed of 25 mph and its sheer size gives it the edge as well.

0:01:58 > 0:01:59Right, let's get on with it.

0:01:59 > 0:02:00Ready, set...

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Go.

0:02:06 > 0:02:09Oh, it looks really close and Phelps is edging it.

0:02:09 > 0:02:11I can't even watch.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15And it was shark who won.

0:02:15 > 0:02:18Of course it was.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21Phelps came in at 38.2 seconds and he got beaten

0:02:21 > 0:02:24by just two seconds.

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Team Shark, go celebrate.

0:02:26 > 0:02:32Team Phelps, better luck next time.

0:02:32 > 0:02:35Finally, how's this for a sweet present for a teacher?
