0:00:02 > 0:00:06- You'll be a winner in the future - I want you to be a winner now.- Yeah.
0:00:06 > 0:00:08'It's not so much about the team any more,'
0:00:08 > 0:00:11you've got to keep remembering that it's individuals.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14You've got to pick your game up over the next few days,
0:00:14 > 0:00:15you know that don't you?
0:00:15 > 0:00:20It's time to start getting more competitive within the group.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22We're friends, I don't want to change that,
0:00:22 > 0:00:23but there's definitely rivalry.
0:00:23 > 0:00:27Putting in all that work and then not to get through
0:00:27 > 0:00:28would be so annoying.
0:00:28 > 0:00:29I need you to turn it on.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32You are playing for a place in your country.
0:00:32 > 0:00:33Come on, let's go!
0:00:33 > 0:00:35So far on Ultimate Sports Day.
0:00:35 > 0:00:4075 outstanding young athletes from all over the UK
0:00:40 > 0:00:43have been put through a series of gruelling challenges
0:00:43 > 0:00:47to test their speed, skill, agility and strength.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50Now, only 32 remain.
0:00:50 > 0:00:53The moment that we got told was...it was really good.
0:00:53 > 0:00:54- ALL:- England!
0:00:54 > 0:00:59I know like the standard it is now and I have to raise my game.
0:00:59 > 0:01:01I never thought I'd get through but here I am.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03Their goal -
0:01:03 > 0:01:06to win one of the four places available on each of the four teams.
0:01:06 > 0:01:10Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales
0:01:10 > 0:01:13and to take part in the ultimate sporting tournament.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18The athletes will compete in more tough trials
0:01:18 > 0:01:22devised by top sports scientist Professor Greg Whyte.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25The key issue now is what is their skill like,
0:01:25 > 0:01:27what is their attitude like
0:01:27 > 0:01:30and are they going to be the right person for their USD team?
0:01:30 > 0:01:33Who has what it takes to make it into their national team?
0:01:33 > 0:01:36It's up to me to tell you four...
0:01:36 > 0:01:39that you will be going through to the final!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Find out now on Ultimate Sports Day.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Welcome back to Ravenscraig, where Scotland's former capital of steel
0:02:07 > 0:02:10is now a heated furnace of competition
0:02:10 > 0:02:13featuring some of the UK's best young athletes.
0:02:13 > 0:02:15Of the remaining 32 competitors
0:02:15 > 0:02:18only half of them will make it into the final teams
0:02:18 > 0:02:21and the sporting legends responsible for making the decisions
0:02:21 > 0:02:23are also their mentors.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Let's go.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29For Scotland, seven-time British champion ice dancer Sinead Kerr.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31Competing for your country
0:02:31 > 0:02:33is something that you feel with your heart.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34Wayoo!
0:02:34 > 0:02:38For Wales, European champion sprinter Christian Malcolm.
0:02:39 > 0:02:42- TEAM CHANTS:- Who are we? Team Victory!
0:02:42 > 0:02:44That's what I'm talking about, eh? Team Victory!
0:02:44 > 0:02:46For Northern Ireland,
0:02:46 > 0:02:49former world featherweight boxing champion Barry McGuigan.
0:02:49 > 0:02:52Put your legs on a slant!
0:02:52 > 0:02:55For England, Olympic decathlete Dean Macey.
0:02:55 > 0:02:59If I had to put money on a team, I'd put it on Team England
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- and Team England are here to win. ALL:- England!
0:03:05 > 0:03:07The first challenge is Ultimate Bike Control.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10Now, simple as that sounds,
0:03:10 > 0:03:13the mentors have only selected certain members of their squads
0:03:13 > 0:03:15who they reckon they haven't seen enough of
0:03:15 > 0:03:18in a challenge that will really test their balance,
0:03:18 > 0:03:20concentration and determination.
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I reckon this one's going to get interesting.
0:03:25 > 0:03:26Two...
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Don't worry.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- Don't forget to stop.- Well done.
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Keep going, man.
0:03:31 > 0:03:33- OK.- That's what I want you to do.
0:03:33 > 0:03:36- Keep your legs going at a reasonable pace.- Yeah.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38You go under the thing, duck really low.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40You only get one go at this, all right?
0:03:40 > 0:03:42So good luck.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44For Northern Ireland,
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Barry is struggling to choose between his under-14 girls,
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Zoe and Phoebe.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55Phoebe Tan is light, very thin, very talented
0:03:55 > 0:04:00but a lot of these exercises are going to demand strength.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Strength, co-ordination and strength,
0:04:02 > 0:04:05and I don't know that she can match Zoe in that department.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12The mentors must choose only one boy and one girl in each category.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I'm Phoebe, I'm 13, I'm from Belfast in Northern Ireland.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17My speciality is high jump
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and one day I would LOVE to take part in the Olympics.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Even though Fraser's been one of her favourites,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27Sinead is starting to question his place in Team Scotland.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29That's it, power up the hill, power up the hill!
0:04:29 > 0:04:34Fraser's sport is athletics and the 800 metres.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36No? It's hard.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Take a break and get back up and try.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41His endurance on two feet is outstanding,
0:04:41 > 0:04:44but when it comes to two wheels, he doesn't quite have the knack.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48My name is Fraser, I'm 15 years old and my speciality is 800 metres.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51From a young age, I was interested in a lot of different sports,
0:04:51 > 0:04:53but I didn't start athletics until my early teens.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56This fall... Cycle it.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Duck! Look - nice and low, nice and low!
0:04:59 > 0:05:00Ooh, not low enough, Fraser!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03It's all right, don't worry, don't worry!
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Are you going to try and stand still on this?
0:05:05 > 0:05:07For the required three seconds...?
0:05:08 > 0:05:10..that'll be a no.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13Don't lose it, don't lose it. Don't worry. You can do this.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15You can do this. Give it a last try.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17But Fraser has no more tries left to give.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Tall Fraser, for Scotland, is struggling.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23Particularly from a psychological perspective.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25He gave up on the bike,
0:05:25 > 0:05:29has he the right attitude for the team of four for Scotland?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Now, competing for England,
0:05:31 > 0:05:34first up is Sophie, a national track cycling champion.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Jump on a bike and what's the first thing you want to do?
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Go fast downhill. Well, we was asking them to go slow uphill.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Keep the traction. That's it, just keep yourself moving.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Well done, just keep it going...
0:05:46 > 0:05:50Sophie's been ill, so she's a little bit more emotional at the moment.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53I brought her here so she can bounce back and build her confidence up
0:05:53 > 0:05:56and I was so worried that she wouldn't do that, and she did!
0:05:56 > 0:05:58Three...two...one...
0:06:00 > 0:06:01..and through.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03Wicked.
0:06:03 > 0:06:05That's why I brought you on this, eh?
0:06:05 > 0:06:08Bounce back! That's it. Champion. Wicked. Good girl.
0:06:08 > 0:06:10Good girl, nice and smooth.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13Hot on Sophie's heels for a place in the final team is Emily.
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Keep it going, mate. Keep it going. Keep that momentum, all the way up.
0:06:17 > 0:06:19I'm Emily, I'm 13, I come from Tavistock in Devon
0:06:19 > 0:06:21and my sport is Triathlon.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23One day I REALLY wish to be in the Olympics.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Well done, well done, stay down. Well done, well done.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30She might be the smallest in the England squad,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33but Emily is a national triathlon medallist,
0:06:33 > 0:06:35so she's also got great cycling skills,
0:06:35 > 0:06:38which she proves by racking her pedals -
0:06:38 > 0:06:42that's how the pros keep their balance, by the way.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44Well done, keep going all the way, don't get a penalty!
0:06:44 > 0:06:46Go on, smashing!
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Up until this morning, Sophie was my number one young girl,
0:06:49 > 0:06:54but Emily is absolutely caned today and my decisions, my head is hurting!
0:06:54 > 0:06:55I don't know what to do!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00For Wales, Christian wants to see how super-fast sprinter Hannah
0:07:00 > 0:07:02adapts to going slow.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Keep going, that's it.
0:07:06 > 0:07:08My name's Hannah, I'm 13 years old,
0:07:08 > 0:07:12I'm from Neath in South Wales. My speciality sport is sprinting
0:07:12 > 0:07:15and my sporting hero, of course, is Christian Malcolm.
0:07:16 > 0:07:21Hannah clams up and she admits that. She gets nervous before she competes.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24No matter what she's doing, she gets nervous, she get's tense.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27I try to say, "Just relax, listen to what I've got to say.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30"It's not easy but if you can follow what I'm saying to you
0:07:30 > 0:07:33"and you still do it wrong then there's nothing I can do."
0:07:33 > 0:07:34Keep going.
0:07:35 > 0:07:37Don't forget to stop, don't forget to stop in there.
0:07:39 > 0:07:41- That was rubbish. - Hannah, are you all right?
0:07:41 > 0:07:44That disappointment could cost Hannah her place in Team Wales.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46So bad.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53It's now midway through selection week
0:07:53 > 0:07:56and the mentors will soon have to pick their final national squads.
0:07:56 > 0:08:00They're keen to see how their teams have improved at basketball
0:08:00 > 0:08:03since they last tried it, but the nerves are starting to show.
0:08:03 > 0:08:05Hannah is still lacking confidence
0:08:05 > 0:08:07after her earlier efforts on the bike.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10Unlucky. Just a little bit, little bit higher.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12You know, if you carry on the way you are
0:08:12 > 0:08:14- and just have a bit more self-belief...- Yeah.
0:08:14 > 0:08:18- ..going into games.- More confidence. - Definitely - be confident!
0:08:18 > 0:08:19Yeah.
0:08:19 > 0:08:23But Hannah isn't the only one in the Welsh team feeling the strain.
0:08:23 > 0:08:25Has plucky Jacob finally run out of strength?
0:08:25 > 0:08:27It's all right, you've got one more.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I feel a bit nervous. - A bit nervous?
0:08:29 > 0:08:32- Yeah, I feel a bit nervous all the time.- Why?- I don't know.
0:08:32 > 0:08:36Because, like...I just want to get through - it's a bit weird.
0:08:39 > 0:08:43You've got a big heart, you know, and you're very determined.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46You're very good, you're very good at being competitive,
0:08:46 > 0:08:49but sometimes, cos you're SO competitive, you want to do well,
0:08:49 > 0:08:52- you don't really listen to what's being said.- Yeah, hmm.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- Sometimes listen to me a little bit more.- Yeah, OK.
0:08:55 > 0:08:59- Yeah?- Yeah.- You can do that for me? - Yeah.- Thanks, Jake.- Thanks.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02Also needing encouragement from their mentor, Barry,
0:09:02 > 0:09:05are the younger girls in the Northern Ireland team -
0:09:05 > 0:09:07especially Phoebe.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- You looking forward to the next few days?- Yeah, I'm quite nervous.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14- Why are you nervous? - Well, Zoe, she's really strong
0:09:14 > 0:09:18and because I'm in her age group it's going to be tough...
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- to get through.- But you're good. You're very good.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22You're a good all-round sportsperson.
0:09:22 > 0:09:27Dean takes a tougher approach on Team England and raises the stakes.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28I need you to start turning it on.
0:09:28 > 0:09:32- You are playing for a place in your country, all right, mate?- Yeah.
0:09:32 > 0:09:34I don't want you to change your attitude at all
0:09:34 > 0:09:35- but if there's any way...- I won't!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39..any way you can get another couple of percent out of yourself...
0:09:39 > 0:09:41Work hard and just push until you've got nothing left.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43I'll be on the floor dying!
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Er, that won't be necessary, Allard!
0:09:45 > 0:09:48Not everyone in the England team is so confident, including Emily.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51I find it really difficult as, like, I'm the youngest
0:09:51 > 0:09:53and I'm quite small.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56So it's like feels like everyone has an advantage on me.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59But I know that I can't help being small.
0:09:59 > 0:10:01Yeah, what I see from you I see, like, a little whippet.
0:10:01 > 0:10:03So, what you've got inside,
0:10:03 > 0:10:06your psychological and physical ability, is fantastic, right?
0:10:06 > 0:10:08You just need to really maximise that
0:10:08 > 0:10:12- and I want you to know you got the best out yourself.- Hm-mm.- All right?
0:10:13 > 0:10:14Put it there.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Ahead of them now they've got a whole range of tests
0:10:17 > 0:10:20which are going to look at their skills, their attitude,
0:10:20 > 0:10:23their psychological ability under stress.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25It's going to be a tough road ahead
0:10:25 > 0:10:27to finally decide who's going to make it
0:10:27 > 0:10:29into the final four USD team.
0:10:31 > 0:10:33Next up, Archery.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37The mentors want to see if their teams have been practising
0:10:37 > 0:10:41since their last tries at the targets and if they've improved.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45They're aiming to score the maximum of 30 points with three arrows.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I hope I'm going to do quite well. I set myself up for it, though.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51The first time we got it I think I got 27.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54I've never managed to get it since.
0:10:54 > 0:10:55Pressure!
0:10:55 > 0:10:59The team's attitude to practise and how they cope with new skills
0:10:59 > 0:11:01are key considerations for the mentors,
0:11:01 > 0:11:05who must turn their thoughts to choosing the final national squads.
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Only one boy and one girl in each age group, under-14 or under-16,
0:11:10 > 0:11:13can make it into the final four.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18For Jack, the reality that he has to beat Allard is only just sinking in.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21So can only one of us that can go through?
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- You're competing against Allard.- I am competing against Allard.- Yeah...
0:11:25 > 0:11:27and I think he's very, very tough.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29You've got completely different skill sets -
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Judo versus hockey, all right?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33It's going to be a fraction here or there.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36It's going to be a feather that's going to change it.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40Morgan is against Hannah for a place in the Team Wales under-14 girls,
0:11:40 > 0:11:43but she gets a clear warning from Christian.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46What I want you to realise
0:11:46 > 0:11:50is that, you know, it's borderline for you at the moment.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52Cos you're the little one in the group,
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- you have to try that extra bit harder.- Yeah.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I know what it's all about cos I used to be the little one!
0:11:57 > 0:11:59- I was always the little one, just like you.- Yeah.
0:11:59 > 0:12:01We've always got to try that bit more.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03Is there anything I can do as a mentor, improve,
0:12:03 > 0:12:05anything you would like me to be?
0:12:05 > 0:12:08- No, you're bang tidy. - Yeah? "Bang tidy"?!
0:12:08 > 0:12:09- Bang tidy.- I love it!
0:12:11 > 0:12:13For Scotland's under-16 girls,
0:12:13 > 0:12:17Sinead will have to choose between Louise and Ellen.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19As an athlete you're amazing,
0:12:19 > 0:12:22but when it comes to the games part in the skills,
0:12:22 > 0:12:25your downfall in the statistics was the basketball...
0:12:27 > 0:12:30- ..so maybe that needs to, we need to up your ball skills a bit.- Yeah.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33So, you're everything I need in a team
0:12:33 > 0:12:36but I need you to pick up on those skills, just a little bit more,
0:12:36 > 0:12:38to make yourself REALLY stand out.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40After giving up on the bike event,
0:12:40 > 0:12:43Fraser is more confident about his archery.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45Will that be enough to keep him in the team?
0:12:47 > 0:12:50Definite improvement. I improved by...three? Three.
0:12:50 > 0:12:5326 out of 30, so pretty chuffed with that, yeah.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55You're working together as a great eightsome
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- and I need to get rid of four people.- Yeah.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02So it's time for everyone to start getting a little bit more competitive
0:13:02 > 0:13:03within the group.
0:13:03 > 0:13:08My downfall with you and something that I feel you need to prove to me
0:13:08 > 0:13:09in the next couple of days
0:13:09 > 0:13:15- is when it comes to the other agility skill tests.- Yeah.
0:13:15 > 0:13:20Because when it comes to the final week and the final games,
0:13:20 > 0:13:22it's not all about sprinting.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24There may be one or two tests in there that are about that,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28but I need you to try and work a little bit more on the other stuff.
0:13:32 > 0:13:34It's almost the end of selection week
0:13:34 > 0:13:38and the teams face what's set to be their toughest challenge yet.
0:13:42 > 0:13:46There are certainly some outstanding athletes in each of the teams.
0:13:46 > 0:13:48Ellen in Scotland - outstanding.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51If we take a look at someone like Allard, for England,
0:13:51 > 0:13:55or Morgan, the gymnast for Wales, there's some great talent in there,
0:13:55 > 0:13:58but what's going to be interesting is that's the physical talent.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01The question is, have they got the full package
0:14:01 > 0:14:02to make it on to the team?
0:14:02 > 0:14:05So, Team England. Last challenge, how are you feeling?
0:14:05 > 0:14:07- Nervous.- Good, you should be.
0:14:07 > 0:14:11I need you for one more time to bring your A game. Can you do that?
0:14:11 > 0:14:12- ALL:- Yes!
0:14:12 > 0:14:14- COME ON! Three...two...one. ALL:- England!
0:14:14 > 0:14:17Right, guys, this is important now, this is it for you guys.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19It's going to be tough out there and, trust me,
0:14:19 > 0:14:23I'm so proud of what you've all done this week. REALLY proud.
0:14:23 > 0:14:27But Sophie in Team England is really feeling the strain.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29This is about having fun, all right?
0:14:29 > 0:14:31These things are hard, physically.
0:14:31 > 0:14:34Mentally, you've been challenged more this week than ever.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37I read your application, you said you want to be an Olympian.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Whatever happens today, this is going to help, because it's a tough road.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45I think this is really my kind of event
0:14:45 > 0:14:47and I could do really well in this if I try my hardest,
0:14:47 > 0:14:50so I'm hoping to impress him with what I can give.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54I'm a bit nervous cos I've got a sore throat,
0:14:54 > 0:14:56but I'm just going to give it my best.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Three...two...one... WHISTLE BLOWS
0:14:58 > 0:14:59The England girls are first to hit
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- the tough three-lap obstacle course.- Come on! come on!
0:15:03 > 0:15:05They're quickly followed by Harry and Leo.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09After crossing the stream they have to scramble under a net,
0:15:09 > 0:15:10race over the tyres
0:15:10 > 0:15:13then, when they're really tired, run with heavy weights.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14It's a tough course.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17It doesn't look that hard, then you get on it
0:15:17 > 0:15:20and every time those weights get heavier and heavier.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Right 15 press-ups, come on! Straight down. Shout them out!
0:15:23 > 0:15:28- BOTH:- ..14...15...- Keep it going! Round the tree! Right round, go!
0:15:28 > 0:15:29Shout them out!
0:15:31 > 0:15:35Despite her tears, it's Sophie who finishes the first lap in the lead.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39Sophie is my closest competition and I need to beat her
0:15:39 > 0:15:42because we're quite close with points at the moment.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46Come on, Soph - good girl. Come on, girl.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48GO! Let's go! Last lap, last lap.
0:15:48 > 0:15:50Even though they're losing,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53are they still trying, are they still working,
0:15:53 > 0:15:55are they still trying to get to that line?
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And that... There were some interesting stories in there.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59We had tears before the start,
0:15:59 > 0:16:02not when she run, nothing but commitment...
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- You're right, mate. - I am so impressed.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06OK, first few press-ups, come on!
0:16:06 > 0:16:08Good pace. Good pace. You're over halfway...
0:16:08 > 0:16:11But, by the end, it's Sophie who lags behind.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15No match for Dean's little whippet, Emily, who wins the race.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17Take a breath.
0:16:17 > 0:16:18Last one.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22GO! Go, go, go, go, go, go!
0:16:22 > 0:16:23Brilliant.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26SOPHIE GASPS AND SOBS
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- Champion.- Well done, Sophie. - All right? Champion.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31You did not give up. That was fantastic.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Later this morning I've got to make a very difficult decision
0:16:34 > 0:16:36and, you know, I've made no bones about it -
0:16:36 > 0:16:40I've been struggling with the older boys and the younger girls.
0:16:40 > 0:16:42They are so, so closely matched.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45I think today might be the event that sways my decision.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49Dean's older boys dive straight into the challenge.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Inside me I feel that I have got what it takes to beat Jack
0:16:53 > 0:16:54on this course.
0:16:54 > 0:16:57He has got speed but the stamina, I think, he'll struggle with.
0:16:57 > 0:17:01- GO, go! Keep the pace, come on! - All the way up!
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Nervous cos I'm up against some good competition.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07Allard's a good player, so a little on edge there.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13Allard and Jack, I can tell when one goes really well and one does OK
0:17:13 > 0:17:16that it hurts the one that comes second,
0:17:16 > 0:17:20and it's a really interesting thing to watch, because it's so yo-yo.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23Looks like Allard did find his extra 2%
0:17:23 > 0:17:26and now he's really got nothing left...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28Come on, Jack!
0:17:28 > 0:17:30..leaving Jack way behind.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Come on! Go, go, go, go, go! Go on, guys.
0:17:34 > 0:17:36What I did like to see was the commitment
0:17:36 > 0:17:38that I've been talking about all the way through
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- and that's evident that it's improved.- Definitely.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43There was a lot of effort going on there.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45- It's a tough challenge to finish with.- Yeah.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- Now you've got to decide, mate. - No, mate, no!
0:17:48 > 0:17:51- You've got the tough bit now. - I might need some help!
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Who are we?
0:17:53 > 0:17:54- ALL:- Team Victory!
0:17:54 > 0:17:56- Oggy.- Aye.- Oggy.- Aye.- Oggy.
0:17:56 > 0:18:00Pumped up for some obstacle course action, are Team Wales.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03Now, Hannah says she gets really nervous
0:18:03 > 0:18:05when it comes to big competitions.
0:18:05 > 0:18:09You know, Hannah's got the physical ability to get through this
0:18:09 > 0:18:13a lot better than what Morgan can, but I think Morgan has the fight.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16So it will be interesting to see if Hannah gives up
0:18:16 > 0:18:18or if Morgan prevails.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Let's go, girls, let's go!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23The two younger girls from Wales know they're fighting each other
0:18:23 > 0:18:27for a place and their start couldn't be closer.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30- On your stomach! On your stomach! - Come on, boys!- Get up there.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31Get up there!
0:18:31 > 0:18:34After lap one the girls are still neck and neck.
0:18:34 > 0:18:36- ..and up!- Good.
0:18:36 > 0:18:41I can't even put into words - Oh, I just want to do him proud.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44I want to show him that I deserve to be in that team.
0:18:47 > 0:18:50But is wanting it going to be enough to get Morgan through?
0:18:51 > 0:18:56Last lap! Come on! Just put everything in to it. Come on!
0:18:57 > 0:19:01For the younger boys, Jacob wins easily
0:19:01 > 0:19:04and for the girls it's Morgan who finishes first,
0:19:04 > 0:19:05but only by a fraction.
0:19:05 > 0:19:07It was really close, like.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10It was just on the press-ups at the end,
0:19:10 > 0:19:11that's all it came down to
0:19:11 > 0:19:13and then turning round the tree,
0:19:13 > 0:19:17she was just right behind me, so... but it was really close.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19- Yeah, fine.- Really well.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21Trying to push yourself.
0:19:21 > 0:19:25But I haven't got enough energy and I just slowed down completely.
0:19:25 > 0:19:26It was really hard.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28These kids, man...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30I couldn't do it.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33I gave, I did my best, so...
0:19:33 > 0:19:35Do you think that's enough?
0:19:35 > 0:19:37I hope so. Fingers crossed.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40That was good, guys. I know you're like,
0:19:40 > 0:19:43"We've got to beat the other team's times," but remember
0:19:43 > 0:19:46that this is an individual thing. You're competing against each other.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48You're fighting for a place.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51For Scotland, Sinead's toughest choice
0:19:51 > 0:19:54will be between her under-16 older girls Louise and Ellen.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58I'm not going to lie, I'm really nervous.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00It looks quite tiring, but should be OK.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03OK, guys, nice pace.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Let's go, girls!
0:20:06 > 0:20:09On the first lap the girls were evenly matched.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14They've both got the great attitude, they work really, really hard
0:20:14 > 0:20:16and that's just the final cargo net.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18All of a sudden you saw the gap open up
0:20:18 > 0:20:22but she didn't give up, they carried on and kept fighting.
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Get down, get down! Excellent.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29Louise crosses the line first.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Fantastic. Nice. Well done!
0:20:31 > 0:20:33This isn't just a race against the clock,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36it's a test of character and determination.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40Sinead's got probably the toughest of all in terms of her selection
0:20:40 > 0:20:44because, particularly in the girls, choosing them, no mean feat.
0:20:46 > 0:20:51The hill and the cargo net! It's so difficult.
0:20:51 > 0:20:54So let's warm up a little bit and get going, all right?
0:20:54 > 0:20:57Barry warms his Northern Ireland team up ready for the competition.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00This is dead even, guys. Do you hear me?
0:21:00 > 0:21:01It's dead even, so I need a winner.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04I need someone to show me what they're made of.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Both Thomas and Ben are hoping to prove to Barry
0:21:07 > 0:21:10that they've got what it takes to make it into his final four.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13Let's go, come on, Joey, come on, guys!
0:21:13 > 0:21:16Get up and down, or I won't count it! Let me hear you!
0:21:16 > 0:21:19Three...four...five...
0:21:19 > 0:21:23Halfway round the course, there's still nothing to separate the boys.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28Got Ben Fisher and we've got Thomas Quinn.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Very similar, athletically.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40It's neck and neck at the finish until Thomas's luck runs out.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44- On up! On up! On up! - Up you get, Thomas! Get up.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Could that fall cost him a place in the Northern Ireland team?
0:21:52 > 0:21:54It's OK, man.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Second lap's the hardest...
0:21:58 > 0:22:02cos you've still got half of it to do.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05To be honest with you, this has, this has levelled the playing field again.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09So I just hope they don't think, from seeing that,
0:22:09 > 0:22:14that I was going to pick the ones who won here today because...
0:22:14 > 0:22:17the ones who won the event here, I'm not necessarily going to pick.
0:22:17 > 0:22:21And picking is exactly what the mentors must do now,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25as they cut their squads down from eight to just four.
0:22:25 > 0:22:27They study the scores on all the activities so far,
0:22:27 > 0:22:31taking into account character and ability to work in a team.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34On top of that, they've got to consider the various events
0:22:34 > 0:22:38the athletes will play and who would be the most suitable for them.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42Only one boy and one girl from each age group, under-14s and under-16s,
0:22:42 > 0:22:44can make the team.
0:22:46 > 0:22:49It's the day of reckoning for the four nations.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52The final teams of four are about to be chosen.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56For England, Sophie, Jack, Harmonie and Harry
0:22:56 > 0:23:00anxiously wait for Dean's decision.
0:23:01 > 0:23:07Next door, Allard, Emily, Leo and Shanice are also waiting.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10What a roller coaster week, eh?
0:23:10 > 0:23:12There's been some highs, been lows
0:23:12 > 0:23:15and you guys, today, showed so much heart.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16Every single one of you.
0:23:16 > 0:23:20I'll be honest, I didn't make my decision until 15 minutes ago.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23It was nip and tuck, all the way
0:23:23 > 0:23:26and my decision was based on the skill sets that you've got,
0:23:26 > 0:23:29the competitive nature that everyone's got,
0:23:29 > 0:23:31and the competition that's going to come.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It's been very, very difficult, I have to say...
0:23:34 > 0:23:35- but you're through!- Yeah!
0:23:38 > 0:23:41You are in Team England. It was so close.
0:23:45 > 0:23:50It was just nerve-racking, but I'm just so relieved, happy
0:23:50 > 0:23:53and kind of sad for the other people that didn't get in,
0:23:53 > 0:23:57but they've got this far so...they've got to be good
0:23:57 > 0:23:59and they are good and they've shown they're good.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05The Scottish athletes wait to hear Sinead's decision on her final team.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09The mentors had to look at what games were coming ahead
0:24:09 > 0:24:12so things weren't based on just results
0:24:12 > 0:24:14but also on making a tactical decision.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18The determination, courage, strength.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21You nailed it, you stuck in there and you dug in there to the end.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24You've shown me some toughness and some guts
0:24:24 > 0:24:26that I'm happy to see the Scottish kids have.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28I'm really proud of you all.
0:24:28 > 0:24:31It's up to me to tell you four...
0:24:31 > 0:24:33that you will be going through to the final!
0:24:33 > 0:24:39So Sarah, Ellen, Fraser and Frazzle make up a very happy Team Scotland.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Absolutely amazing. Can't believe that I got through.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45It's absolutely wonderful.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48In the Welsh locker room, nothing is clear cut.
0:24:48 > 0:24:51Morgan and the others wait to find out
0:24:51 > 0:24:54if they've done enough to impress Christian.
0:24:54 > 0:24:59Hi, guys. I'll be honest, this has been so, so hard. Really has.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04This decision for me has been so difficult, you don't understand.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07You guys are in my team.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09Yeah!
0:25:09 > 0:25:11Isobel, Anna, Joe and Jacob
0:25:11 > 0:25:15are amazed to discover they are in Team Wales.
0:25:15 > 0:25:18I'm speechless. I can't tell you.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20Like I felt so happy.
0:25:20 > 0:25:24It was like all this work has just gathered up, so...
0:25:24 > 0:25:25Welsh team.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29I'm sorry about this.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32But it's not all smiles in the Welsh camp.
0:25:32 > 0:25:34Listen, what I want you to remember this.
0:25:34 > 0:25:37You've got to turn this into a positive now, in your future.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40You've got to remember and learn from times like this,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44and I know YOU - I'm going to be reading about you in the future
0:25:44 > 0:25:47and we all know that, OK?
0:25:47 > 0:25:49I had a chat with Christian afterwards
0:25:49 > 0:25:52and I, like, understand why I didn't get through,
0:25:52 > 0:25:57but I still wish Team Wales all the best of luck.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01It's now time for Barry to make four people very sad or very happy.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Has Phoebe shown enough grit to make it through?
0:26:06 > 0:26:09So what do you think? How did yous do this morning?
0:26:13 > 0:26:14Mmm?
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Not good?
0:26:16 > 0:26:17Right, you're in my team.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20You're in my team.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Thomas, Andrew, Sarah and Phoebe
0:26:24 > 0:26:28can't quite believe what Barry is telling them.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32- They are now Team Northern Ireland. - Northern Ireland, can we do it?
0:26:32 > 0:26:33- ALL:- Yeah!
0:26:33 > 0:26:36I'm really pleased, I'm so happy that I got through.
0:26:36 > 0:26:38I wasn't expecting it at all so I was really happy.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44Oh, wow!
0:26:44 > 0:26:48All that remains for the teams is a glimpse of what's to come
0:26:48 > 0:26:51and what they've let themselves in for...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53How awesome is that, guys?
0:26:53 > 0:26:58..a sneak preview of the Ultimate Sports Day Arena.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05Next time, the tournament begins.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Nation will battle nation over six games,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11to win points in an epic sporting competition.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15The two highest-scoring teams will go through to the grand final
