0:00:02 > 0:00:06We searched the four corners of the UK to find the fastest, toughest,
0:00:06 > 0:00:12most agile and most accurate young athletes from Scotland,
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Northern Ireland, England and Wales.
0:00:14 > 0:00:19Now the search is over. Nation will battle nation over six matches
0:00:19 > 0:00:23to win points in an epic sporting tournament.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26The top two teams will go through to the grand final.
0:00:26 > 0:00:30Only one will be crowned Ultimate Sports Day Champions.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33Let the games begin!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57On today's Ultimate Sports Day,
0:00:57 > 0:01:00Team Wales go head-to-head with Team Northern Ireland.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Representing Team Wales is their captain, Joe!
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Followed by Isabel, Jacob and Hannah!
0:01:14 > 0:01:17And here is their mentor, pride of Wales
0:01:17 > 0:01:24and World, European and Commonwealth medallist Christian Malcolm!
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Welsh sprinter Christian is a former Junior World Championships
0:01:32 > 0:01:36double gold medallist. In 2010, he won bronze at the Commonwealth Games
0:01:36 > 0:01:40and silver in the European Championships in the 200m.
0:01:40 > 0:01:46And representing Northern Ireland, it's captain Andrew!
0:01:46 > 0:01:48Followed by Sarah,
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Dermot and Phoebe!
0:01:52 > 0:01:56And here is their mentor - he is a living legend
0:01:56 > 0:02:00and former featherweight boxing champion of the world!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Barry McGuigan!
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Barry, a boxing superstar, won gold as an amateur
0:02:09 > 0:02:12in the Commonwealth Games when he was 17,
0:02:12 > 0:02:16and went on to win the British, European and World titles as a pro.
0:02:16 > 0:02:21This rather large-looking stick is the flagpole.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29The athletes start at the base of each flagpole. Twice they climb
0:02:29 > 0:02:33to the top, grab a ring and then return to the ground.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36On their third climb, they release their flag.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Let's hope whoever Barry and Christian have picked
0:02:39 > 0:02:41have a head for heights.
0:02:41 > 0:02:44I'm going to try you this time, cos a bit more strength,
0:02:44 > 0:02:46and I think it will be a bit faster. How do you feel?
0:02:46 > 0:02:52I'm OK with it if I just don't look down. Just keep my eyes on the prize.
0:02:52 > 0:02:56My name is Thomas, I am 12 years old. I am from Northern Ireland.
0:02:56 > 0:02:58My speciality sport is rugby.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00If I had to describe myself in three words,
0:03:00 > 0:03:01it would be sporty,
0:03:01 > 0:03:03outgoing and I am quite bossy.
0:03:03 > 0:03:07Jacob, are you ready for this? I want to get good points on this.
0:03:07 > 0:03:11You're up against the Irish. How do you feel about that?
0:03:11 > 0:03:15- Good, very good. - I know you do not like losing.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17My name is Jacob. I am 13 years old.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21I come from Pontypool in South Wales. My speciality sport is hockey.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24If I had to describe myself in three words,
0:03:24 > 0:03:25it would be competitive,
0:03:25 > 0:03:27cheeky and happy.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31OK, Thomas, Jacob, are you ready to hoist yourselves aloft?
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Fantastic. We have got their team mentors standing by.
0:03:35 > 0:03:40Your challenge starts on the fourth and final beep. Let's play Flagpole.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50This game requires both agility and balance, and look at Jake go!
0:03:50 > 0:03:52He's off to a flying start for Wales,
0:03:52 > 0:03:55but Thomas is not too far behind.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59Jake reaching the top of the pole, and Thomas is nearly there as well.
0:03:59 > 0:04:02Now they have got to carefully balance up there
0:04:02 > 0:04:04and grab one of those rings above their heads.
0:04:04 > 0:04:09Jake has got his and he heads down, closely watched by Christian.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11Thomas has managed to get his ring.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14They're worth 5 points each, but whoever finishes first
0:04:14 > 0:04:18scoops an extra 15 points, so speed is of the essence.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Right down to the bottom! - Take your time.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27Jake reaching for ring number two and he has got it now.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Thomas is heading back up his flagpole as Jake comes back down.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Jake with quite a lead so far, but Thomas is not giving up.
0:04:34 > 0:04:39He is on top of that pole looking for his second ring.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41Jake drops off his ring number two to Christian
0:04:41 > 0:04:45and heads back up the pole for the last time. This boy is quick.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Northern Ireland's Thomas has got his second ring, but it won't count
0:04:48 > 0:04:52unless he can get it to Barry before Jake leaps to victory.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56Jake on his way to the top as Thomas hands his ring over to Barry.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57Take your time.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59But Jake isn't listening.
0:04:59 > 0:05:03As he hurls himself at the last ring, grabbing it
0:05:03 > 0:05:05and releasing his team's colours as he falls.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09A great first game for Wales. Thomas just couldn't keep up.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12Jake up and down that pole in no time at all,
0:05:12 > 0:05:14he's got his team off to a flyer.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Come on, buddy. Hey, how did that feel dragging your Welsh colours
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- down there from the Flagpole? - It felt great.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22It doesn't look that scary, but when you're on top,
0:05:22 > 0:05:26it's shaking, and you're like whoa. But it was great.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28This kid's got ants in his pants - he flew up there,
0:05:28 > 0:05:32and that was amazing. He's done really well, I'm proud of him.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Thomas, is it as easy as just getting up there
0:05:34 > 0:05:35and picking out a ring?
0:05:35 > 0:05:38No, it's way more hard just because it's such a...
0:05:38 > 0:05:42it's so small, and you can barely fit both feet on.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45Well, that was a fantastic start for Christian and Jacob in Team Wales.
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Let's have a quick look at the scoreboard
0:05:48 > 0:05:50after our first event.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54Thomas gets 10 points, but Jake wins 30 points for all three rings
0:05:54 > 0:05:57and winning the game, which means, after Flagpole,
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Wales lead Northern Ireland 30 points to 10.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09Ahead of us is 150m.
0:06:09 > 0:06:14An Olympic sprinter can cover this distance in around about 15 seconds.
0:06:14 > 0:06:16But can our two nations run the length of it
0:06:16 > 0:06:19before The Chaser tracks them down.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22If they do, they pick up points.
0:06:22 > 0:06:26It's simple. But if The Chaser beats them, then they're out of the game.
0:06:26 > 0:06:28So, we all need now...
0:06:28 > 0:06:30is The Chaser.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39The mystery man behind the mask.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47They've all faced The Chaser before,
0:06:47 > 0:06:50so the girls'll be looking to improve on their last performances.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52On their marks are...
0:06:58 > 0:07:02But their race to the line could be cut short by this guy...
0:07:03 > 0:07:04..The Chaser.
0:07:13 > 0:07:14Set.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17And they're off.
0:07:17 > 0:07:20Both the Welsh girls Hannah and Isabel off to a great start -
0:07:20 > 0:07:23neither of them have been beaten by The Chaser yet.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26Hannah's out in front. Phoebe is in second place.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Isabel's in third, and in the rear is Sarah.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31The Chaser has caught her before and he's going to do it again.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34Yes! He's caught Sarah - no points for her.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Hannah's going to reach the finish line first,
0:07:37 > 0:07:39followed by Isabel. Can Phoebe beat The Chaser?
0:07:39 > 0:07:42It's close, so close. Oh, wow!
0:07:42 > 0:07:45The slow-mo shows that Phoebe just makes it over the line.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48The Chaser was quick to track down Northern Ireland's Sarah,
0:07:48 > 0:07:49denying her any points,
0:07:49 > 0:07:52and he had his sights set on her team-mate, Phoebe.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54But she just about managed to get away with it.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58So, who sprinted up the leaderboard
0:07:58 > 0:08:01in the first of our Chaser runs today?
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Another great one from Hannah with a time as 18.39
0:08:05 > 0:08:07wins her 10 points, along with Isabel and Phoebe.
0:08:07 > 0:08:10So, Wales extend their lead over Northern Ireland.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12It's 50 points to 20.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21So, this game is simple enough. Just catch a ball, pop it in the hoop.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23So, why's it called Spin Shot?
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Well, there are another couple of elements to this game
0:08:27 > 0:08:29which involve all of the above whilst spinning.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I wouldn't know how to coach someone on how to do this,
0:08:32 > 0:08:35which is fortunate, cos that's where mentors come in.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39Please, can somebody stop throwing the balls?
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Spin Shot basketball, obviously that's going to be you, Andrew.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44You were the best in the basketball,
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- you'll be great.- Hopefully.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48My name is Andrew, I'm 14 years old.
0:08:48 > 0:08:50I live in Hillsborough in Northern Ireland.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53My speciality is athletics, and if I was just to describe myself
0:08:53 > 0:08:56in three words, they would be competitive, messy and loud.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57Speed Shot basketball,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00and the first person to do that is going to be you, Joe.
0:09:00 > 0:09:05- You ready for this?- Oh, yeah.- How do you feel about doing it?- Yeah, good.
0:09:05 > 0:09:09My name is Joe, I'm 15 and I'm from Llanelli in Wales.
0:09:09 > 0:09:12My speciality is rugby, and if I had to describe myself in three words,
0:09:12 > 0:09:15they would be bubbly, hyper and cheeky.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Waiting to play for Team Wales is Joe,
0:09:18 > 0:09:21but right now, shooting hoops for Team Northern Ireland, it's Andrew.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23Andrew, you ready to rumble?
0:09:23 > 0:09:27OK. Your challenge starts on the fourth and final beep.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29Let's play Spin Shot.
0:09:40 > 0:09:4260 seconds to score as many baskets as possible
0:09:42 > 0:09:44in this game of accuracy and control.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Andrew's long legs should help him over those lower beams,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51but his height might be a problem with the higher ones.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53He doesn't want to get a beam to the face.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Come on, Andrew, what have you got, buddy?
0:09:57 > 0:09:58Take a bit more time.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02Barry telling him to slow it down a bit and take his time.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04Andrew's technique at the moment, a bit scattergun.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Throwing and hoping, just like Barry said,
0:10:07 > 0:10:09he really needs to slow down and take aim.
0:10:09 > 0:10:11Just like that. A great shot,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13and 3 points to Northern Ireland.
0:10:15 > 0:10:16He lines up another shot,
0:10:16 > 0:10:19but it misses. There goes another one.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21No score again.
0:10:21 > 0:10:25He is taking more time to aim now, and they're getting much closer,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27but he still can't quite find the hoop.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32Time for one more shot in the dying seconds, I reckon.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Oh, but it's another miss.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Just the one basket, so only 3 points for Andrew.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41And he doesn't look happy about it either.
0:10:48 > 0:10:51Round 2, and it's rugby player Joe's turn for Wales.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53He should be used to catching balls.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56So, let's see how he copes with Spin Shot.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00No baskets so far. But that one was close.
0:11:00 > 0:11:01He lines up again,
0:11:01 > 0:11:03shoots and he scores.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Joe's off the mark for Wales. Can he make it two in a row?
0:11:06 > 0:11:08No, no, he can't.
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Take your time, mate.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Christian telling him to take his time - he thinks he's rushing it.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18He is certainly getting through a high turnover of basketballs.
0:11:18 > 0:11:22Unfortunately for Joe and Wales, only one has gone in so far.
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Joe takes another shot at the hoop,
0:11:27 > 0:11:28and it misses again.
0:11:28 > 0:11:30He jumps and ducks for another go.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32Can he get 3 points?
0:11:32 > 0:11:35No, not that time. But maybe this time.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Oh, it's a miss as well,
0:11:37 > 0:11:39as he heads into the last few seconds of the game.
0:11:39 > 0:11:44Oh, another shot goes wide of the target. Time for one last go.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48That misses too. So, Joe just scores one basket for Wales.
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Low-scoring game for both boys.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Both of you, one basket each. Joe, talk us through.
0:11:53 > 0:11:56What was the most difficult thing about that? The arms?
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- The spinning platform? What was going on?- It's not easy.
0:11:59 > 0:12:00You can't set up and shoot.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03It's all 100 miles an hour - as soon as you get it, you've got to go.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07It doesn't look too fast, but it's fast enough to distract you.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09I'll let you get your breath back.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12- Andrew, I heard Barry shouting, "Take your time, mate."- Yeah.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14You didn't take your time.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16No, there was too much going through my head
0:12:16 > 0:12:17with the bars spinning round.
0:12:17 > 0:12:20You do need to take your time, but...oh, well.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22- A bit disappointed. - That was one basket each.
0:12:22 > 0:12:25Let's see what that says for the scoreboard.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Well, disappointed and probably a bit dizzy,
0:12:27 > 0:12:29both boys score 3 points.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Overall, it means that Northern Ireland now have 23 points,
0:12:32 > 0:12:35but still in the lead are Wales with 53.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41On Target. Hannah.
0:12:43 > 0:12:47I've got you for this. How you feeling? How you feeling?
0:12:47 > 0:12:49OK. Confident, I think.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53All I want you to do is relax and focus on what you need to do.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58My name's Hannah, I'm 13 years old. I'm from Neath in South Wales.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02My speciality sport is sprinting, and if I was to describe myself
0:13:02 > 0:13:03in three words,
0:13:03 > 0:13:04it'd be lively,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07smiley and competitive.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Phoebe, you're going to the archery. - Hopefully it will go OK.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12I just need to remember what position to go in.
0:13:12 > 0:13:17My name's Phoebe, I'm 13. I'm from Belfast in Northern Ireland.
0:13:17 > 0:13:18My speciality is the high jump.
0:13:18 > 0:13:21And if I had to describe myself in three words,
0:13:21 > 0:13:22they would be fun,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24sporty and determined.
0:13:24 > 0:13:28Phoebe, Hannah, are you feeling accurate?
0:13:29 > 0:13:32Well, in that case, it's time to play On Target.
0:13:37 > 0:13:40This game is all about skill and accuracy.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42Phoebe and Hannah have 12 arrows each.
0:13:42 > 0:13:45They must try and hit as many of their targets as possible.
0:13:45 > 0:13:51Silver targets score 5 points. Coloured targets score 3 points.
0:13:55 > 0:13:58Both let fly with their first arrows and both of them very nearly score.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01- Same again, Hannah, same again. - Very close.
0:14:03 > 0:14:06Hannah having another shot, and this time, she hits a silver target.
0:14:06 > 0:14:10That's 5 points to Wales. Phoebe, not so lucky this time.
0:14:13 > 0:14:17Hannah reloads for another shot, as does Phoebe.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20And Hannah scores!
0:14:20 > 0:14:22She hits another of the silver targets on the top row.
0:14:22 > 0:14:2410 points now for Wales.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Archery is such a difficult game.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28One false move, and the arrow could go anywhere.
0:14:28 > 0:14:30Take your time, Han.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Christian telling Hannah not to rush.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35There's no time limit to this game, by the way.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36Try and get it down here.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39Barry now giving Phoebe some encouragement.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43She's so close to scoring, but just can't quite find the target.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46Phoebe, you're almost there. That's it.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Almost there. Come on, keep it up, don't worry. Don't get frustrated.
0:14:49 > 0:14:50Hannah hits another target.
0:14:50 > 0:14:54This time on the bottom row, and it's silver, so it's 5 points.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56And another one, right next to it.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59This is outstanding marksmanship from Hannah.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03She's racked up 20 points so far for Wales. Can she go higher?
0:15:03 > 0:15:04Not this time.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07Just keep going.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10Phoebe takes another shot, but it's just not her day today.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12That is another very close one from Hannah.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Take your time - it's your last one.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20All of Phoebe's arrows group nicely around the edge of the targets,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- but none have actually hit the mark. - Unlucky, Han, well done.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Hannah's used up all of her arrows and hit four targets,
0:15:27 > 0:15:29scoring an impressive 20 points for Wales.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32Can Phoebe pull some points back for Northern Ireland
0:15:32 > 0:15:34with her last remaining arrow?
0:15:34 > 0:15:38No, she can't. And she's not happy about it.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Well done, Hannah. Hey, four Welsh, beaming, red lights back at you.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47- How was that?- Really good.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50You got yourself into a rhythm. What was going through your head?
0:15:50 > 0:15:52It was just, get the first one in and work around it.
0:15:52 > 0:15:56So then, like, you have to go up a bit and down a bit.
0:15:56 > 0:15:58Well, you picked yourself up 20 points for Team Wales -
0:15:58 > 0:16:00congratulations.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02Unfortunately, no points for Phoebe.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05But Hannah's incredible show of accuracy scores her 20 points,
0:16:05 > 0:16:07moving Wales on to 73 points.
0:16:07 > 0:16:10Northern Ireland, still lagging on 23.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22So, our Chaser has made his way to the starting point,
0:16:22 > 0:16:26but will he reach the finish line before our boys?
0:16:26 > 0:16:27Good luck, fellas.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34Taking to their starting positions are...
0:16:42 > 0:16:45And here comes the human cheetah.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47It's The Chaser.
0:16:56 > 0:16:57Set.
0:16:57 > 0:16:59And the boys are off.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03In previous encounters with The Chaser, Jake has been caught before.
0:17:03 > 0:17:04He'll be looking for revenge.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06Joe and Andrew won their races last time.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09It'll be interesting to see who's the fastest today.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12Andrew leading Joe, but Jake is lagging behind.
0:17:12 > 0:17:15The Chaser's set to pounce. And it's over for Jake once again.
0:17:15 > 0:17:18The Chaser's too far off Thomas to catch up with him,
0:17:18 > 0:17:22as Andrew crosses the line in first place, with Joe coming in second.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25Like a gazelle, Andrew leads the way to the finish line ahead of Joe,
0:17:25 > 0:17:28but The Chaser did manage to catch his prey.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30Jake, hunted down and denied any points.
0:17:30 > 0:17:35So, the race is over. Time to update our scoreboard once again.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39Andrew's incredible time of 17.79 seconds
0:17:39 > 0:17:41helps him pick up 10 points.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43As do Joe and Thomas.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Overall, that means that Wales are still in the lead
0:17:45 > 0:17:47with 83 points.
0:17:47 > 0:17:49Northern Ireland have 43 points.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52But with two games to go, it's still all to play for.
0:17:57 > 0:18:00I need two people for this.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03And the two people I'm going to choose is Isabel and Jacob.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09Big smile on your face there, Jacob.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I'm Isabel, I'm 15 years old, from Bridgend in Wales.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14My speciality is sprinting.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17When I'm older, if I don't make it as a full-time athlete,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I'd really like to be a fire fighter.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Sarah, I'm figuring you're going to be strong holding on.
0:18:23 > 0:18:25And, Phoebe, you were the second best.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28- You've got good strength as well.- I'm quite excited.
0:18:28 > 0:18:31I think I'll try my hardest and try and stay in there.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32And, hopefully, it will be OK.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Hold on as long as I can.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37My name is Sarah Strawbridge, I'm 14.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40I'm from County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43My speciality is artistic gymnastics.
0:18:43 > 0:18:45And to describe myself in three words,
0:18:45 > 0:18:47it would have to be
0:18:47 > 0:18:50cheeky, bouncy and talkative.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Strength and nerve are what our two teams need
0:18:53 > 0:18:56for this next game, because as the teams grab hold of the ring,
0:18:56 > 0:18:59the bar is slowly lifted.
0:18:59 > 0:19:01And as it rises to the roof,
0:19:01 > 0:19:04the question is, how long will they be able to hang on?
0:19:04 > 0:19:05Well, only one way to find out.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09Teams, your challenge will begin on the fourth and final bleep.
0:19:09 > 0:19:10Let's play Hangbar.
0:19:12 > 0:19:16Focus where your hands are. Look at where your hands are, all right?
0:19:18 > 0:19:22This is a really tough game of strength and control.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26The rules are simple. Just hang on as long as possible.
0:19:26 > 0:19:30The Hangbar slowly rises up into the air and so do our athletes.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36They've been up there for 15 seconds now - still barely off the ground,
0:19:36 > 0:19:40but I can assure you the Hangbar does go a lot higher.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42The first one to fall won't get any points.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45The second will pick up 5 points.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47The third one to go will take home 10 points.
0:19:47 > 0:19:51And the last one hanging picks up an almighty 20 points for their team.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Gone past 30 seconds now.
0:19:54 > 0:19:57- Focus.- You're doing brilliantly well - nice and relaxed there.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Both mentors shouting encouragement to their teams.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03At the 45-second mark, and none of them are showing
0:20:03 > 0:20:04any sign of dropping first.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07They all look completely focused.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11- Keep focused on one thing.- Relax.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Jake's starting to wriggle a bit now as we approach the 60-second mark.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- Well done, Jake.- Nice and relaxed. - Northern Ireland could really do
0:20:18 > 0:20:21with picking up some points on this game.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23They're lagging behind on the overall scores.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Can Sarah and Phoebe dig deep on the Hangbar?
0:20:26 > 0:20:29- Good, Jake, just stay focused, that's it.- Hold on.
0:20:29 > 0:20:31After 75 seconds, they're all still in the game.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34They must be really feeling the pain now.
0:20:34 > 0:20:36Jake shifting around, looking uncomfortable.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40I doubt the others will thank him for moving the ring like that.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42Nice and relaxed - that's it, girls.
0:20:42 > 0:20:44That's 90 seconds now.
0:20:44 > 0:20:48And Northern Ireland's Sarah is beginning to tire.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50Jake looks like he's in trouble. And he's gone!
0:20:50 > 0:20:53He's the first one out of the game.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56No points for him. Isabel's face says it all.
0:20:56 > 0:20:57She's had enough.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59And down she comes too, in third place.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Just the Northern Ireland girls left.
0:21:01 > 0:21:05Barry's team are going to pick up a much-needed 30 points.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08Just a question of honour now. Who will last the longest -
0:21:08 > 0:21:10Phoebe or Sarah?
0:21:10 > 0:21:11They make it two minutes,
0:21:11 > 0:21:14and Phoebe can take no more, she's down,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17followed closely by gymnast Sarah.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21What a great contest of nerve and strength!
0:21:21 > 0:21:24They all looked so focused to start with.
0:21:24 > 0:21:27But after 75 seconds of arm-stretching agony,
0:21:27 > 0:21:29the cracks started to appear.
0:21:29 > 0:21:34First to let go was Jake for Wales, followed by his team-mate, Isabel,
0:21:34 > 0:21:36leaving the Northern Ireland girls to claim victory.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39So, Isabel scores 5 points for Wales,
0:21:39 > 0:21:43but Sarah and Phoebe's 30 points have closed the gap right up.
0:21:43 > 0:21:47Wales have 88 points. Northern Ireland, now on 73.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51The glove covered all my finger and it just kept on slipping off.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53And it was like, come on,
0:21:53 > 0:21:57grip back on, and I couldn't, because it kept on slipping off.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00But I can't do anything now, it doesn't matter. I'm fine now.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03Don't worry it, because you did a fantastic job.
0:22:03 > 0:22:05- Sorry.- Sorry? You've got nothing to be sorry about.
0:22:05 > 0:22:09You've got nothing to be sorry about, mate.
0:22:09 > 0:22:12It's time for the grand finale, the Team Relay.
0:22:12 > 0:22:16This whole arena will come into play, and it's going to get frantic,
0:22:16 > 0:22:19but it starts with Bike Power.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23A 200m sprint will then light our towers over here.
0:22:23 > 0:22:27Once it's fully lit, it's time to initiate the Skywalker.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29They'll start all the way at the bottom,
0:22:29 > 0:22:32make their way up the 5m, across the beam and collect all the rings,
0:22:32 > 0:22:34before making their way down the ladder.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38And then, time to get a sprint on. All the way over...
0:22:38 > 0:22:40to the Bungee Tower.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43And they'll bungee like they've never bungeed before
0:22:43 > 0:22:45and collect all three rings.
0:22:45 > 0:22:48Not before they've done that, can our cyclists make their way
0:22:48 > 0:22:52right back to the other side of the arena. It's going to be tough.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55I'm making a sweat and I haven't even done anything.
0:22:55 > 0:22:56Once they've their 200m sprint,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59only then will their team-mates make their way to the top
0:22:59 > 0:23:03of the Flagpole, collecting their rings in the process
0:23:03 > 0:23:06and releasing their national team's colours.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Team Northern Ireland ready to finish the show in style?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Yes, absolutely. We've got some work to do.
0:23:15 > 0:23:17Wales have been very good, so we're on the ball.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19OK. Christian, last word for Team Wales?
0:23:19 > 0:23:22I'm nervous, but we need a win.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Well, in that case, the final showdown starts
0:23:24 > 0:23:27on the fourth and final beep. Best of luck, guys.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:23:33 > 0:23:36So, it all comes down to this, the Ring Relay.
0:23:36 > 0:23:38With over 100 points up for grabs for the winner,
0:23:38 > 0:23:40each of these teams could become
0:23:40 > 0:23:42today's Ultimate Sports Day champion.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45The first leg of the relay is a 200m cycle sprint,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47and Wales's Hannah is slightly lagging behind
0:23:47 > 0:23:49Northern Ireland's Thomas.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52When those bars at the bottom of the screen fill up,
0:23:52 > 0:23:55it means they'll have cycled 200m and they can tag their team-mate.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58Thomas has done it.
0:23:58 > 0:23:59He dashes off to tag Sarah.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02And Hannah now sprints over to tag Isabel on the Skywalker.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04Up they climb. Look at Isabel go!
0:24:04 > 0:24:08She's caught up and overtaken Northern Ireland now.
0:24:08 > 0:24:11Once they've got onto that beam at the top, they need to grab
0:24:11 > 0:24:16the two rings above their heads - each of those is worth 5 points.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18And as we know, it all adds up.
0:24:18 > 0:24:21Sarah's gymnastic skills could come into play here.
0:24:21 > 0:24:25They could give her a big advantage over sprinter Isabel.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27They've both got the rings,
0:24:27 > 0:24:30but Sarah looks a lot more comfortable up there than Isabel.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32They have to climb down the ladders now,
0:24:32 > 0:24:34and Sarah taking a more direct route
0:24:34 > 0:24:37as she just lowers herself onto that ladder.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39They're not attached at the bottom,
0:24:39 > 0:24:42by the way, which makes it all a lot more wriggly.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Sarah's opened up quite a big gap between herself and Isabel now.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49She needs to grab those two rings on her way down, but here comes Isabel.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51She's trying desperately to catch up
0:24:51 > 0:24:54but still got those two rings to collect on the way down.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56But Sarah is down and she tags Thomas,
0:24:56 > 0:24:58who runs off to the next stage.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02Andrew bungees himself towards the three rings he needs to collect.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Oh, no! Isabel is tangled up on the ladder.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07What a disaster for Wales!
0:25:07 > 0:25:10But, at last, she gets down and sends Hannah off to the bungee too.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13Andrew collect his second ring. Can Wales catch up here?
0:25:13 > 0:25:17Joe is certainly going to try as he grabs his first ring.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20But Andrew successfully claims his third ring,
0:25:20 > 0:25:22and that means that Thomas is clear to race back
0:25:22 > 0:25:25to his bike for another 200m cycle.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27Joe goes for another ring
0:25:27 > 0:25:31and gets it, as Thomas pumps those pedals for all he's worth.
0:25:31 > 0:25:35Northern Ireland can smell victory and they like it.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Joe gets his final ring, and that means that Hannah can sprint back
0:25:38 > 0:25:40to her bike and chase after Thomas.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43But surely it's going to be an impossible task,
0:25:43 > 0:25:46as Thomas has just finished his 200m and tags Phoebe
0:25:46 > 0:25:47for the last leg, the Flagpole.
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Hannah cycles on as Phoebe pulls herself up that pole,
0:25:50 > 0:25:52grabbing rings as she goes.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55I think we know how this one is going to go.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Phoebe, nearing the top now.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01Hannah finishes her 200m bike sprint and tags Jake.
0:26:01 > 0:26:05But Phoebe leaps out and grabs her team colours.
0:26:05 > 0:26:08A fantastic win for Northern Ireland!
0:26:08 > 0:26:09Jake didn't stand a chance.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15Seven rings means 35 points for Wales.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18But Northern Ireland get 55 for all 11 rings
0:26:18 > 0:26:19and the extra 50 for winning.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22That maximum of 105 points means,
0:26:22 > 0:26:25despite trailing all through the show,
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Northern Ireland beat Wales by 178 to 123.
0:26:29 > 0:26:33Thomas was dynamite to begin with, really good, kept it steady.
0:26:33 > 0:26:35Sarah was dynamite up that.
0:26:35 > 0:26:37I think Izzy was a bit quicker to the top,
0:26:37 > 0:26:40but she's got real good balance at the top.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- And then Andrew never misses. - You've got yourself a Spiderman.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45He's really got the bungee sorted out.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48Then Thomas came back, and Phoebe was fantastic with that last jump.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51So, I'm thrilled with my team and I'm just glad to finish on top.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Christian, where did you lose it?
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Barry had Sarah there, the gymnast, up on the top, of course, the beam.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00And Izzy's a tall girl, so it was a bit difficult for her
0:27:00 > 0:27:03to get down the ladder. I think that is where you edged it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05Our guys have got to work hard now against Scotland,
0:27:05 > 0:27:07see what we can get from that.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11So, after two matches each, here's how the teams rank so far.
0:27:11 > 0:27:15Wales are fourth with 307. Third are Scotland with 383.
0:27:15 > 0:27:18Second are England with 431.
0:27:18 > 0:27:22But in first place, it's Northern Ireland with 473 points.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Don't miss the next show as those two at the top,
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Northern Ireland and England, go head-to-head.
