-How did your interest -in this sport start? | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
-To be honest, I started with martial -arts from when I was four years old. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:24 | |
-I did a lot of judo. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:26 | |
-I trained in Pontarddulais -with my dad. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
-I came to Swansea to train with -Chris and after the first session... | 0:01:29 | 0:01:33 | |
-..I looked in the corner and -there were lads training for MMA. | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
-I looked over and thought -"that looks good." | 0:01:37 | 0:01:40 | |
-I thought I could do it. | 0:01:41 | 0:01:43 | |
-There's a mental side to this sport. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:46 | |
-What do you think is -mentally important to success? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
-I wanted a belt. As an amateur, -I got it quite early in my career. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
-Then I thought, -I want a British title... | 0:01:55 | 0:01:57 | |
-..within five professional fights, -I was British Champion. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:01 | |
-And then, I thought straightaway -I could win a world title. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:05 | |
-A few months after that, -I got a world title shot. | 0:02:05 | 0:02:08 | |
-I had to fight twice in one night -to get that belt. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:12 | |
-I set myself little goals -at every stage. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
-As Brett took me to see the octagon, -I couldn't help but wonder... | 0:02:20 | 0:02:26 | |
-..what safety steps are taken once -the door is closed on fighters. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-First things first, -you can't eye-gouge. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:36 | |
-Hair pulling, I like it, but you're -not allowed to in a fight. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:41 | |
-When you kick, -you can't aim for the groin. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:45 | |
-When you slam someone, -you can't slam them on their head. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
-There are a lot of different rules. -Those are the important ones. | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
-I politely refused Brett's -offer to give it a go. | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
-I didn't want to hurt him! | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
-Instead, we took a walk -down the road to the other gym... | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
-..where he works to strengthen -and condition his body. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
-You've got some trophies from -the start of your career here. | 0:03:21 | 0:03:25 | |
-This one draws the eye. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
-Titan FC wanted me -to go over to America... | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
-..and test myself against the best -people in the world. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
-I went straight out and my first -fight was for a world title. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
-It was in Mobile, Alabama. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
-It was in Mobile, Alabama. - -Alabama, wow. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:41 | |
-I weighed in on the USS Alabama. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:44 | |
-The day after that, I fought a UFC -veteran, Walel Watson. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
-He was a good fighter. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:50 | |
-I beat him in the first round. -I rocked him with an elbow. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
-In the second round, -I got him in a choke hold. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
-I won the Titan FC world title -from there. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
-After Titan, -I got the call from the UFC. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
-I've got to aim -for the UFC title now. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:06 | |
-That's all I want is a UFC title. -After I get that, it's job done. | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-I'm Lowri Jones. I come from -Dinas Powys near Cardiff. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
-I've been ice skating -for nine years. I love it. | 0:04:19 | 0:04:22 | |
-I'm happiest, most comfortable -and most confident on the ice. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-You don't often hear much -about figure skaters. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
-It is a very popular sport. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
-It's one of the most important -competitions at the Winter Olympics. | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
-Despite their grace on the ice, -it is a fierce competition. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:51 | |
-I've come to the Sky Dome in -Coventry to see Lowri train. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
-Lowri, how did it all start? | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
-It started as a bit of fun -with my cousin. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
-We went for a group lesson -one weekend. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-It was 15 minutes with other people -who wanted to learn to skate. | 0:05:10 | 0:05:14 | |
-My coach spotted me there and wanted -to give me a one-on-one lesson. | 0:05:16 | 0:05:22 | |
-So I had those lessons once a week. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
-What was the attraction? | 0:05:26 | 0:05:28 | |
-I felt more confident on the ice. | 0:05:28 | 0:05:30 | |
-It gave me more confidence -because I was shy off the ice. | 0:05:30 | 0:05:34 | |
-I didn't want to talk to anyone. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:37 | |
-I'd do anything to avoid attention. | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-How often do you train here? | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
-I train up to 14 times a week. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
-Three times a day, -three times a week. | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
-Give us an example -of your daily schedule. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
-I start at around 07.00. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:55 | |
-That's when I leave the house -to catch the train. | 0:05:55 | 0:05:58 | |
-I'll reach here -at around 8.00 in the morning. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:02 | |
-I'll warm up and then be on the ice -between 8.30 and 10.00. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
-There's a small gap. There's another -session between 12.00 and 1.00. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
-Then we have another one -between 4.15 and 6.00. | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
-Do you get nervous -before competitions? | 0:06:17 | 0:06:19 | |
-Yes, I get very nervous. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
-The people who win -deal with being nervous. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
-What goes through your mind? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:27 | |
-You think about everything twice... | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
-..but you have to trust yourself -and your training. | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
-What do you have to do -in a competition? | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |
-In the Short, you have to do three -jumps, three spins and steps. | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
-How do you go about creating your -performance for the routine? | 0:06:41 | 0:06:44 | |
-Your coach will pick the music and -you say whether you like it or not. | 0:06:45 | 0:06:50 | |
-You say whether you feel -you can skate well to the music. | 0:06:50 | 0:06:55 | |
-And then you start -by putting the steps in. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
-You step through -the jumps and spins. | 0:06:59 | 0:07:02 | |
-Then you build a step sequence. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:05 | |
-What's the biggest buzz... | 0:07:05 | 0:07:07 | |
-..you get out of performing -in front of an audience? | 0:07:07 | 0:07:10 | |
-You feel like the only person alive -at that precise moment. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:16 | |
-Everything is about you -in that moment. | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-You lose yourself in the moment. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
-Nothing worries you -when you're out on the ice. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:29 | |
-When you're on the ice, -you're only thinking about skating. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:32 | |
-My name is Christie Marie Williams. -I'm 24 years old. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
-I live in Aberdare. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:44 | |

-..and saw weightlifting -at the 2012 Olympics. | 0:07:54 | 0:07:57 | |
-I was interested in having a go. | 0:07:58 | 0:07:59 | |
-Lifting weights -makes me feel strong and confident. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
-I'm always looking -to improve myself and lift more. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
-Football is obviously my game. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
-The players have 90 minutes, -95 sometimes... | 0:08:12 | 0:08:15 | |
-..to create chances, -score goals and win the battle. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:19 | |
-In weightlifting competitions, -Christie has seconds to perform. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:24 | |
-She has to get the -technique and timing perfect. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:28 | |
-Is there a lot of competition trying -to reach your level in your sport? | 0:08:35 | 0:08:41 | |
-With weightlifting, -it's not a popular sport. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
-It's low down as a priority. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
-The funding is really low. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
-You need to be -at a very good level... | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
-..to get funding -and get on a programme. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
-At the moment, I'm the only one -on the programme with Sport Wales. | 0:08:59 | 0:09:04 | |
-I'm hoping to carry on lifting very -well and staying on the programme. | 0:09:04 | 0:09:09 | |
-What's your usual daily routine? | 0:09:10 | 0:09:13 | |
-Coming up to the games... | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
-..I was training twice a day -for five days a week. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
-And then I had one day -when I did one session... | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
-..and one day -when I sat on the sofa! | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-At the moment, -I'm studying at university... | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-..I work as a development officer -for Weightlifting Wales. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:31 | |
-I train too. | 0:09:31 | 0:09:32 | |
-You mentioned a day -when you do nothing... | 0:09:33 | 0:09:35 | |
-..that day is important, isn't it? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:38 | |
-It's your recovery day. | 0:09:38 | 0:09:40 | |
-That's the time your body has -to recover... | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
-..so you can build -on your work that week. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
-Absolutely. | 0:09:47 | 0:09:48 | |
-Usually, if I have time, -I like to go to the spa. | 0:09:48 | 0:09:52 | |
-I like to relax in the Jacuzzi -or in the sauna. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
-The heat helps the muscles. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:00 | |
-This is my belt. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:07 | |
-This is my belt. - -Nice. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:08 | |
-I like to be colourful and bright... | 0:10:08 | 0:10:11 | |
-..and girly! | 0:10:12 | 0:10:13 | |
-In January, I underwent some tests. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-My left side is 20% weaker -than the right. | 0:10:22 | 0:10:26 | |
-Muscular imbalance. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:28 | |
-Muscular imbalance. - -20%! | 0:10:28 | 0:10:29 | |
-That's the difference between doing -an 80kg squat or 100kg squat. | 0:10:29 | 0:10:34 | |
-That's massive. -I was just like "How?" | 0:10:34 | 0:10:37 | |
-That's what we're trying to do now. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:40 | |
-We've got two other rooms here. -One is full of computers. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
-The room behind me we use -for testing and other things. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
-For weightlifters, they test -your blood for lactate levels. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
-They test to see if you've recovered -for your next session. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:04 | |
-The room next door with all the -computers is the meeting room. | 0:11:04 | 0:11:10 | |
-After I've competed, -we'll have a review session. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
-We look at the training -up to the competition. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:20 | |
-We look at the food -and how my performance was. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:23 | |
-We then discuss how to improve -or avoid bad things. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
-I'm sure that there will be -young girls who watch this... | 0:11:28 | 0:11:32 | |
-..and will be inspired -to take part in weightlifting. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
-What would your advice be -to those girls? | 0:11:37 | 0:11:39 | |

-Yes, there is a link. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:39 | |
-Rowing is very important... | 0:14:39 | 0:14:42 | |
-..but we use the bikes -to improve our aerobic fitness. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
-We do a lot on both cycling -and rowing machines. | 0:14:47 | 0:14:50 | |
-We probably use the rowing machines -more than anything else. | 0:14:50 | 0:14:53 | |
-There must be a great atmosphere -here when it's full. | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
-There's music going and usually, -everyone's moving at the same time. | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
-There's a massive noise. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:03 | |
-This massive, purpose-built lake -which is a part of the centre... | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
-..is named after Team GB's -most successful rowers... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:13 | |
-..Steve Redgrave -and Matthew Pinsent. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:15 | |
-Zak, here we are -on the Redgrave-Pinsent Lake. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:20 | |
-Are they big heroes of yours? | 0:15:20 | 0:15:22 | |
-I grew up watching their races -at the Olympics. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:25 | |
-It was a privilege to watch them... | 0:15:25 | 0:15:27 | |
-..and think that I'd be following -in their competitive footsteps... | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
-..and hoping -to reach the same level. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
-It's really cool to train -on a lake that is named after them. | 0:15:35 | 0:15:38 | |
-It's so good. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:40 | |
-It's been created -to help us perform. | 0:15:40 | 0:15:42 | |
-It's the reason it was created. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:44 | |
-It's been a pleasure to show you -where I spend a lot of my time. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
-My name is Rhys Lewis. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:57 | |
-I'm 27 and I live in Machynlleth -in the Dyfi valley. | 0:15:57 | 0:16:00 | |
-In April 2014, -I had a serious accident. | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-It put me in a wheelchair. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:09 | |
-Since then, -I started clay pigeon shooting. | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
-I travel all over the country -to compete. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:18 | |
-Rhys' story is very special. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:22 | |
-He's had to accept -that he'll never walk again. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
-Since then, he's taken up a sport... | 0:16:26 | 0:16:28 | |
-..and worked incredibly hard -to make the most of it. | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
-It shows that he's got great spirit -and dedication. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:35 | |
-Hi, Rhys. -This is a wonderful place to live. | 0:16:36 | 0:16:39 | |
-How did this interest in shooting -clay pigeons start, Rhys? | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
-I've been interested in it -for years. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:47 | |
-My grandfather -used to shoot for Wales. | 0:16:48 | 0:16:50 | |
-I've been hearing about that -for years. | 0:16:50 | 0:16:53 | |
-It was something -that I'd always wanted to do. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
-I try to go once or twice, -usually twice a week. | 0:16:58 | 0:17:01 | |
-I compete on the weekend -or every other weekend. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:04 | |
-Around how many clay pigeons -will you shoot in two hours? | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
-I try to do around 100 every time, -if I can. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:13 | |
-It depends whether or not -I'm shooting at the weekend. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-Do you have someone there helping -you or do you train yourself? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:21 | |
-I train myself most of the time. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:25 | |
-I've had a few tips from a couple -of the lads down there. | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
-Rhys trains at Mid Wales -Shooting Centre near Llanidloes. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:38 | |
-Rhys, I'm sure I've counted -over 120 guns at this shop. | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
-It's incredible. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
-It's like a sweet shop -for people like me! | 0:17:49 | 0:17:52 | |
-How much is the most expensive one? | 0:17:52 | 0:17:54 | |
-You're talking about 40,000 -for those top two. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-You can see all that engraving -and detail. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:02 | |
-Those two are identical. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
-Can you buy them individually -or do they come as a pair? | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
-It wouldn't be worth -buying one on its own. | 0:18:11 | 0:18:14 | |
-As a pair, they'd be worth more -in ten or twelve years. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:20 | |
-There are plenty of huts here, Rhys. -Are they different? | 0:18:23 | 0:18:27 | |
-They're all the same. -They're all down the line ranges. | 0:18:27 | 0:18:31 | |
-That's one specific discipline. | 0:18:31 | 0:18:33 | |
-That's one specific discipline. - -Yes, it's the main one. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:35 | |
-What's the green box? | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
-The trap that releases all the -clay pigeons is in the green box. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
-In front of us, -there's a microphone. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
-When someone calls "pull" -or makes a noise... | 0:18:47 | 0:18:50 | |
-..the trap hears it -and releases a clay pigeon. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
-It's voice activated. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |
-Pull. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:04 | |
-Rhys makes it look easy. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:08 | |
-I had to have a go. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:11 | |
-Do I close it? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:12 | |
-Yup. | 0:19:12 | 0:19:13 | |
-So, I shout. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:15 | |
-Pull. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:18 | |
-Too early. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:21 | |
-Too early. - -Miles off. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:22 | |
-You shot too early. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:23 | |
-You shot too early. - -Too early with the first. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
-I was too late with the second. | 0:19:26 | 0:19:27 | |
-Wait until you see it, go past it... | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
-..and then pull the trigger. | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
-Pull. | 0:19:35 | 0:19:36 | |
-There you go. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
-There you go. - -Get in! | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
-It's easy! | 0:19:41 | 0:19:42 | |
-I need to get 100 in a row. | 0:19:42 | 0:19:46 | |
-Pull. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:52 | |
-Shot. | 0:19:53 | 0:19:53 | |
-Shot. - -Yes! | 0:19:53 | 0:19:54 | |
-Hey! How did I do? | 0:19:55 | 0:19:57 | |
-What do you think? | 0:19:57 | 0:19:58 | |
-What do you think? - -Very good. Very good. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
-Will I make the team? | 0:20:00 | 0:20:02 | |
-With a little bit of practice, -maybe. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
-Beginner's luck, if you're honest. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
-Have you enjoyed your day out? | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
-I love that. I can see where you get -the buzz and the adrenaline rush. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:15 | |
-You'll have to bring the Wales team -here for a day out. | 0:20:19 | 0:20:22 | |
-Help with their shooting! | 0:20:22 | 0:20:24 | |
-I'm Manon Lloyd from Carmarthen. | 0:20:36 | 0:20:38 | |

-I'm hoping to compete at -the Commonwealth Games next year. | 0:20:57 | 0:21:01 | |
-Cycling has become very popular... | 0:21:06 | 0:21:08 | |
-..following the successes -of Team GB in recent Olympic Games. | 0:21:08 | 0:21:12 | |
-Particularly in Wales where athletes -like Becky James and Owain Doull... | 0:21:12 | 0:21:17 | |
-..collected medals in Rio last year. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
-That's the goal for athletes -like Manon. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |

-When I was 15, -I was cycling and running a lot. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:04 | |
-I wanted to try a triathlon, so I -joined the local club, Towy Riders. | 0:22:04 | 0:22:08 | |
-I went every week -and rode a bike with other kids... | 0:22:08 | 0:22:12 | |
-..just like they're doing here. | 0:22:12 | 0:22:14 | |
-It just went from there. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:16 | |
-When did it change from racing -or cycling for fun... | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
-..to becoming -a full-time professional? | 0:22:20 | 0:22:23 | |
-I was about 17 years old. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
-I'd been picked up -by the British Cycling Team. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
-I'd studied for one year -of my A levels... | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
-..and then I'd finished -and moved away from home. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:38 | |
-You were living the dream. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:39 | |
-You were living the dream. - -Yes. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:40 | |
-You have to work and train hard. -What's your daily schedule? | 0:22:41 | 0:22:45 | |
-It is hard, -we train twice a day all week. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
-Here, we'll be on the track, -on the road, in the gym. | 0:22:50 | 0:22:53 | |
-We have to eat healthily too. -It's very hard. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
-You start every morning -on the turbo, do you? | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
-Most days, yes, -we do 30 minutes on that. | 0:23:00 | 0:23:03 | |
-We'll have breakfast and head out -on the road or hit the track. | 0:23:03 | 0:23:07 | |
-There are many disciplines in -the sport. Which is your favourite? | 0:23:07 | 0:23:12 | |
-I'd say the track. | 0:23:12 | 0:23:13 | |
-I like the road -but I'm better on the track. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
-What is it about the track -that gets the adrenaline going? | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
-It's just so fast and so exciting. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:23 | |
-Anything can happen and it's -tactical too. I enjoy the track. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:27 | |
-You live cycling. -You live and train with cyclists. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:31 | |
-What's that like? | 0:23:31 | 0:23:32 | |
-I really like training -with the best in the world... | 0:23:33 | 0:23:36 | |
-..people like Laura Trott and Katie -Archibald, both Olympic champions. | 0:23:36 | 0:23:41 | |
-You see what people do to be -the best and you copy them. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
-You have to make a lot of sacrifices -to be the best. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
-Yes, I left home and lived away -from my family at 17 years old. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:51 | |
-I left my friends and my school. | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
-Manon, you've brought us here... | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
-..to see Cyclefit, -one of your sponsors. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |

-I come to Cyclefit -to have my bike fitted. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:11 | |
-It's all done on their computers. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |

-If I like it -and I'm comfortable with it... | 0:24:20 | 0:24:23 | |
-..they'll change it on this bike. | 0:24:23 | 0:24:25 | |
-These small changes -make a big difference. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
-It decides whether you win or lose. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |

-I'm under contract with Everton. | 0:28:55 | 0:28:58 | |
-I'm out on loan to Barnsley -since January. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:00 | |
-Many children dream of being -footballers when they're older. | 0:29:04 | 0:29:08 | |
-But only a very small number -succeed in doing so. | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
-Gethin Jones is one of those -living the dream. | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
-He's making a bit of a name -for himself here in Barnsley. | 0:29:16 | 0:29:20 | |
-When did your interest -in football start? | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
-It was when I was young, growing up -a lot of the family played football. | 0:29:28 | 0:29:33 | |
-After school I'd play football -for my school, Ysgol Borth-Y-Gest. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:39 | |
-When I was seven... | 0:29:40 | 0:29:41 | |
-..I kept playing for Port -until I moved to the Bangor Academy. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:45 | |
-Is that where someone -spotted you playing? | 0:29:45 | 0:29:48 | |
-Then you moved to Everton. | 0:29:48 | 0:29:50 | |
-Yes, it was really -gobsmacking for me. | 0:29:50 | 0:29:53 | |
-I joined the Bangor Academy -at eleven. | 0:29:53 | 0:29:56 | |
-I was there for two years. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:58 | |
-I played at a tournament -in Shrewsbury. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:01 | |
-We played a game against Cardiff. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
-In that game, my dad told me -that people wanted to speak to me. | 0:30:05 | 0:30:11 | |
-There were six scouts -from different clubs. | 0:30:12 | 0:30:15 | |
-After that, -Wrexham was one of those clubs. | 0:30:16 | 0:30:19 | |
-My first game for Wrexham -on trial was against Everton. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
-I scored twice in that game. | 0:30:23 | 0:30:25 | |
-The next day, -the Everton scout phoned my home. | 0:30:25 | 0:30:29 | |
-They said they didn't want to trial -me, they wanted to sign me straight. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:34 | |
-For me, one week I was playing -for Bangor Academy... | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
-..two weeks later, -I'd signed for Everton. | 0:30:38 | 0:30:41 | |
-I went home and told the family and -we were all rather gobsmacked. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:45 | |
-You're at Barnsley now. -How does the loan system work? | 0:30:46 | 0:30:51 | |
-It's really good for young lads. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:53 | |
-If I want to play at the top level -for Everton's first team... | 0:30:54 | 0:30:58 | |
-..I've got to impress on loan. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:01 | |
-One of my targets this season -was coming out on loan. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:04 | |
-Barnsley, a Championship club -who're doing well... | 0:31:04 | 0:31:08 | |
-..called me and told me they wanted -me to come over in January. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:14 | |
-I couldn't say no. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:15 | |
-I've really enjoyed my football -since coming here. | 0:31:16 | 0:31:19 | |
-You don't just play for a club, -you're the Wales U21 captain. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
-Do you enjoy that job? | 0:31:24 | 0:31:25 | |
-Since I first played -for Wales at 15... | 0:31:26 | 0:31:29 | |
-..I've been captain -and gone from 16s to 17s to 19s. | 0:31:29 | 0:31:34 | |
-I've never expected to be captain. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:38 | |
-I've gone to those camps -and worked hard. | 0:31:38 | 0:31:41 | |
-The manager has made me captain -in the age groups. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:46 | |
-It's all a bit overwhelming. | 0:31:46 | 0:31:48 | |
-I phoned Dad to tell them straight -away. Everyone's quite overwhelmed. | 0:31:49 | 0:31:55 | |
-I've played a lot of games for Wales -and travelled to a lot of places. | 0:31:56 | 0:32:01 | |
-Over here, Gethin, -your all important seat. | 0:32:01 | 0:32:04 | |
-Jones. | 0:32:04 | 0:32:06 | |
-I know a lot of footballers have a -particular routine before the match. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:12 | |
-I'm not like that at all. | 0:32:12 | 0:32:14 | |
-Usually, the day before the match -I'm quite nervous. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:18 | |
-I just concentrate on the game. | 0:32:18 | 0:32:20 | |
-I don't think about stupid things -like putting my right boot on first. | 0:32:20 | 0:32:25 | |
-No special pants? | 0:32:26 | 0:32:27 | |
-I concentrate on the game, -getting myself ready and relaxing. | 0:32:29 | 0:32:33 | |
-I relax as much as possible and -minimize the stress and then play. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:37 | |
-This is the journey you take -almost every Saturday. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:45 | |
-The walk out to the pitch. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
-The atmosphere is really good here -on a match day. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:52 | |
-Everyone looks forward to the games. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
-When I walked out for my first game -against Leeds, it was a full house. | 0:32:55 | 0:33:00 | |
-I went from playing for Everton's -U23 team to playing here in a week. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:04 | |
-What about your long-term future? | 0:33:05 | 0:33:09 | |
-I just want to do my best -and improve every day. | 0:33:09 | 0:33:13 | |
-I'd like to play at the highest -level I can. | 0:33:15 | 0:33:17 | |
-Getting a cap for Wales... | 0:33:18 | 0:33:19 | |
-..and playing for Wales -would make me really proud. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:23 | |
-I'm Jack Davies. | 0:33:29 | 0:33:30 | |
-I come from a small village -called Nebo just outside Carmarthen. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:34 | |
-I've been doing gymnastics -since I was four years old. | 0:33:34 | 0:33:39 | |
-I love representing my country. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:42 | |
-Gymnastics has allowed me -to do that many times. | 0:33:42 | 0:33:46 | |
-My next ambition -is to represent Wales... | 0:33:48 | 0:33:50 | |
-..at the Commonwealth Games in 2018 -and hopefully return with a medal. | 0:33:51 | 0:33:55 | |
-I enjoy watching gymnastics -on the television... | 0:34:00 | 0:34:02 | |
-..during the Olympic -and Commonwealth Games. | 0:34:03 | 0:34:05 | |
-What always amazes me is the way -they can throw themselves around. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:12 | |
-The power in their bodies... | 0:34:12 | 0:34:14 | |
-..particularly their arms -must be immense. | 0:34:14 | 0:34:16 | |
-That's what I'm looking forward to -learning about. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
-The hard work that goes into that. | 0:34:20 | 0:34:22 | |
-Jack, we're here at the -Swansea Gymnastic Centre. | 0:34:29 | 0:34:33 | |
-You've been competing in gymnastics -since you were very young. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:37 | |
-When did it stop being a hobby? | 0:34:37 | 0:34:39 | |
-Mam got fed up of me -breaking furniture... | 0:34:39 | 0:34:44 | |
-..running through doors -and jumping on the couch. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:50 | |
-In the end, she was fed up -of everything breaking... | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
-..she said I had to go somewhere... | 0:34:54 | 0:34:56 | |
-..and the closest place was -Carmarthen Gymnastics Centre. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:59 | |
-Sharon had enough patience -to look after me for one hour... | 0:34:59 | 0:35:03 | |
-..then two hours -and then three hours. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
-I competed in an Urdd competition -after that. | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
-My coach, Chris Jones, -marked my performance. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:13 | |
-I was really ill that day -and he came up to my parents... | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
-..and told them that I had a real -talent for gymnastics. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:21 | |
-He said if I moved to Swansea, -I could make something of it. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
-Would you show us a few moves? | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
-Yes, why not? That'd be great. | 0:35:27 | 0:35:28 | |
-Yes, why not? That'd be great. - -Thanks. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:29 | |
-This is the pommel horse -which is my specialty. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:36 | |
-This is what I do the most of -in every session I do. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:40 | |
-I spend at least an hour -on this every session. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
-Waw! | 0:36:12 | 0:36:13 | |
-What do we have here? | 0:36:20 | 0:36:21 | |
-This is the mushroom. -Every gymnast starts off on this. | 0:36:21 | 0:36:24 | |
-They can then move on to the horse. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:26 | |
-You start off in front support -like this. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:31 | |
-You have to jump round, -pick your hand up... | 0:36:31 | 0:36:33 | |
-..and get it back down -so you're in back support. | 0:36:33 | 0:36:36 | |
-Like that? | 0:36:37 | 0:36:37 | |
-Like that? - -Yes, like that. | 0:36:37 | 0:36:38 | |
-Now you have to jump back out. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:41 | |
-Like that? | 0:36:42 | 0:36:43 | |
-Yes, but your head should stay -looking in the same place. | 0:36:44 | 0:36:48 | |
-OK. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:49 | |
-Like that? | 0:36:50 | 0:36:50 | |
-Like that? - -Yeah. | 0:36:50 | 0:36:51 | |
-And then. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:52 | |
-And then. - -Yes, just about. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
-There you go. | 0:36:55 | 0:36:56 | |
-There you go. You've just done it. | 0:36:57 | 0:37:00 | |
-That was luck, honestly. | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
-What about the future? | 0:37:12 | 0:37:14 | |
-I'm hoping we'll put a team together -to go to the next games. | 0:37:14 | 0:37:18 | |
-Personally, I want to go... | 0:37:18 | 0:37:21 | |
-..and make the final and hopefully -not miss out on a medal this time. | 0:37:21 | 0:37:26 | |
-It would be perfect if I could do -well enough to hear the anthem. | 0:37:26 | 0:37:31 | |

-I'm Emily Williams, I've been -surfing since I was 11 years old. | 0:37:49 | 0:37:52 | |
-I come from Newport but am currently -studying Sport Science at Swansea. | 0:37:56 | 0:38:00 | |
-I'm number one in Wales -at the moment. | 0:38:02 | 0:38:04 | |
-I'm a six-time Welsh champion. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:06 | |
-I travel the world surfing -and I love it. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:11 | |
-In some sports, you battle the clock -or sometimes an opponent. | 0:38:17 | 0:38:20 | |
-Emily Williams has to fight nature. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:23 | |
-How do you go about training -and preparing... | 0:38:23 | 0:38:26 | |
-..to cope with something as wild, -unstable and powerful? | 0:38:26 | 0:38:30 | |
-Let's find out. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
-Surfing runs in the family. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:42 | |
-Is it something -that comes naturally to you? | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
-Dad's been surfing for 30 years. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
-Growing up, -I was always on the beach with Dad. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:52 | |
-He taught me when I was younger. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:55 | |
-You've competed a lot already. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
-What are some of the successes -you've had so far. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
-One of the success I really remember -was competing for the Welsh team. | 0:39:05 | 0:39:11 | |
-I've been to two World Championships -and two European Championships. | 0:39:11 | 0:39:16 | |
-At the Worlds, I was part of the -first Wales team to compete there. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:20 | |
-I was the first person -to win a heat. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:24 | |
-I'm really proud of that. | 0:39:24 | 0:39:26 | |
-I got to be a part of the parade of -nations with the flags. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:31 | |
-That's something I'll never forget. | 0:39:31 | 0:39:33 | |
-That's something I'll never forget. - -Very special. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:34 | |
-You've already got sweet highlights -in your memory. | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
-So this is your academy where -all your training takes place. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:42 | |
-Yes, it's a great place -for people to learn. | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
-It's a big place. | 0:39:45 | 0:39:46 | |
-Of course, this is the board. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:49 | |
-How do you learn to stand -on the board in the first place? | 0:39:49 | 0:39:54 | |
-And then stand on the board... | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
-..on something so powerful -and unsettled as the sea. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:00 | |
-It's very hard and technique -is key when you surf... | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
-..just to stay on the board -in the first place. | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
-You obviously train as much -as you can on the water. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:09 | |
-Do you do any training at the gym -or any other training? | 0:40:11 | 0:40:15 | |
-I do a lot in the gym. -I work on arm and leg power. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:20 | |
-I go swimming -to help with my paddling. | 0:40:20 | 0:40:24 | |
-Balance is obviously all important. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
-You've got to do -a lot of core work then. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
-I have to do a lot of core, -I also skate board, that helps. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:34 | |
-That helps with surfing movements -and balance. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
-Do you get nervous in competitions? | 0:40:38 | 0:40:40 | |
-Sometimes, I do get nerves. | 0:40:40 | 0:40:42 | |
-It depends on the competition. | 0:40:42 | 0:40:44 | |
-Sometimes, there are some nerves. | 0:40:44 | 0:40:47 | |
-What competition are you aiming for? | 0:40:47 | 0:40:49 | |
-I have the Welsh Nationals in May. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
-I'm hoping to win -the women's again this year. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:56 | |
-I'm hoping to take my seventh title. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
-That's the dream. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:01 | |
-I'm Ems Davies, I'm 27. I grew up -in a place called Ysbyty Ifan. | 0:41:09 | 0:41:14 | |
-I now live in Llanberis. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:16 | |
-I started mountain biking -when I was 12-13 years old. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:20 | |
-I turned professional -at the age of 20. | 0:41:21 | 0:41:24 | |
-I work hard for races and specialise -in downhill mountain biking. | 0:41:25 | 0:41:29 | |
-Downhill mountain biking -is incredibly dangerous. | 0:41:34 | 0:41:37 | |
-Competitors frequently break bones -or hurt themselves due to the speed. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:44 | |
-What drives someone to go up -a mountain in the first place... | 0:41:44 | 0:41:49 | |
-..and then return to the top -again and again. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:53 | |
-Hiya, Emyr. How are you? | 0:41:58 | 0:41:59 | |
-Hiya, Emyr. How are you? - -I'm fine, thanks. | 0:41:59 | 0:42:00 | |
-Welcome to Llanberis. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:03 | |
-It's a lovely day. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:05 | |
-Shall we sit down? | 0:42:05 | 0:42:06 | |
-Shall we sit down? - -Yes, please. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:07 | |
-We're in your home -and your playground, Ems. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
-We're on Snowdon -with Llanberis behind us. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:19 | |
-I'm sure you get daily inspiration -living here. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
-Yes, it's a nice place to live. | 0:42:23 | 0:42:24 | |
-It makes it easy to train. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
-When did your interest start? | 0:42:27 | 0:42:29 | |
-Well, I was always riding -some bike. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:32 | |
-I kept crashing -and having fun on bikes. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
-A friend and I went on -a biking open day with the school. | 0:42:36 | 0:42:39 | |
-I got to borrow a bike for free. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:43 | |
-I came back with two punctures -having broken everything. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:47 | |
-I thought it was awesome! | 0:42:48 | 0:42:49 | |
-After that, I bought a bike -and worked to get a better bike. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:54 | |
-I started racing -and it went from there. | 0:42:56 | 0:42:59 | |
-You're one of the best in the world, -where are you in particular? | 0:42:59 | 0:43:03 | |
-Do you know what, -I knocked myself out last year... | 0:43:04 | 0:43:07 | |
-..I missed half the season, -so I'm not sure of my ranking. | 0:43:07 | 0:43:12 | |
-But before I got injured, -I was in the top 50 in the world. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:20 | |
-Wow. | 0:43:20 | 0:43:22 | |
-I was consistently up there. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
-I'd be top ten in this country. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:27 | |
-I was set to try and win -my second Welsh Championship. | 0:43:28 | 0:43:32 | |
-So, I'll be trying again -for that this year. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:35 | |
-These are the bikes. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:41 | |
-How do they compare -with regular bikes? | 0:43:41 | 0:43:44 | |
-They're quite different. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:46 | |
-This is the racing bike. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:48 | |
-This is the one I compete -with across the world. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:51 | |
-It's called a downhill bike. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:54 | |
-A lot of people say -it's similar to a motorbike. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:56 | |
-You've got a big suspension fork -that can go up and down. | 0:43:57 | 0:44:00 | |
-It's for if you hit a rock -or anything while going fast. | 0:44:01 | 0:44:06 | |
-How heavy are they? | 0:44:06 | 0:44:07 | |
-They're heavy. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:09 | |
-They're heavier than regular bikes. -They have to be stronger. | 0:44:09 | 0:44:13 | |
-The technology that goes in to these -to make them as light as possible. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:19 | |
-Bikes have to take much more. | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
-What are your short-term -and long-term ambitions? | 0:44:26 | 0:44:31 | |
-This year, I'm aiming -for the top 30 in the world... | 0:44:31 | 0:44:35 | |
-..Welsh Champion -and top five in the UK. | 0:44:35 | 0:44:38 | |
-I'm Rhys Davies, -I come from Parc near Bala. | 0:44:53 | 0:44:58 | |
-I live in Nottingham. -I'm 25 years old. | 0:44:58 | 0:45:00 | |
-I train here for my canoeing. | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
-I've been canoeing since I was 12. | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
-I'm happy to say I was lucky enough -to compete at the highest level... | 0:45:04 | 0:45:09 | |
-..and represent my country. | 0:45:09 | 0:45:11 | |
-In a sport like this one -making the right decision... | 0:45:11 | 0:45:14 | |
-..at the -right time is all important. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:16 | |
-One small mistake can add costly -seconds to your final time. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:22 | |
-I'm looking forward to seeing... | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
-..how Rhys goes about preparing for -races both physically and mentally. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:30 | |
-Rhys, you're from Bala. | 0:45:36 | 0:45:37 | |
-Did this interest start on Bala lake -and the Tryweryn centre? | 0:45:37 | 0:45:41 | |
-Yes, I started off messing around on -the lake and the swimming pool. | 0:45:41 | 0:45:45 | |
-We started very slowly heading -toward the river. | 0:45:45 | 0:45:49 | |
-Then I started on the -Tryweryn and then the Dee. | 0:45:49 | 0:45:53 | |
-After a few years, -I got a chance to go to France. | 0:45:53 | 0:45:56 | |
-That was a game changer for me. | 0:45:56 | 0:45:58 | |
-That's where I found out -that this is what I wanted to do. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
-I wanted to do this -and have fun for life. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:06 | |
-It's an individual sport, -not a team sport. | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
-I liked to be in control -of what I was doing. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:12 | |
-That's ironic -because a few years later... | 0:46:13 | 0:46:15 | |
-..I specialized in the doubles -canoe where you work as a team. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:19 | |
-Unfortunately, after Rio, -they dropped it from the Olympics. | 0:46:20 | 0:46:24 | |
-I had a choice of either stopping or -carrying on with another challenge. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:29 | |
-A new challenge was the only way! | 0:46:29 | 0:46:30 | |
-A new challenge was the only way! - -You have to adapt now. | 0:46:30 | 0:46:31 | |
-What's the difference between -competing in a team and on your own? | 0:46:32 | 0:46:35 | |
-When you're in a pair... | 0:46:37 | 0:46:38 | |
-..you can both help to move the boat -forward and keep it moving. | 0:46:38 | 0:46:42 | |
-The hardest thing I've learned -is how to move the boat on my own... | 0:46:43 | 0:46:47 | |
-..without the help of someone else. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
-I have to be clever about how I use -the boat and how I hold the paddle. | 0:46:49 | 0:46:53 | |
-I'm starting to get there. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:55 | |
-I was watching you on the water -earlier. | 0:46:55 | 0:46:58 | |
-The feeling I got... | 0:46:58 | 0:46:59 | |
-..was that you worked with the water -instead of trying to fight it. | 0:46:59 | 0:47:03 | |
-Part of the challenge... | 0:47:03 | 0:47:05 | |
-..is to look at the water -and read where the water moves... | 0:47:05 | 0:47:09 | |
-..and how it moves in comparison -to the gates. | 0:47:10 | 0:47:13 | |
-You think how can I use this -to make things easier for myself. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:17 | |
-What's on the horizon for you? | 0:47:31 | 0:47:33 | |
-The British trials are in April. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:35 | |
-There are three races down -on London's Olympic course. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:39 | |
-From there, I'm hoping to make the -team so I can race over the summer. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:43 | |
-I'm aiming for -the World Cup race in Italy. | 0:47:43 | 0:47:46 | |
-When is that? | 0:47:47 | 0:47:48 | |
-That's in September. | 0:47:48 | 0:47:50 | |
-I'm looking forward -to a chance of making that. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:53 | |
-It's an important summer for you in -your first season in this category. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:57 | |
-Oh, yes. | 0:47:58 | 0:47:59 | |
-That's it for today's programme. -Thanks to our athletes. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:05 | |
-They deserve every success. | 0:48:05 | 0:48:06 | |
-Good luck to them. | 0:48:07 | 0:48:08 | |
-Thank you for watching. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:09 | |
-Thank you for watching. - -Goodbye. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:10 | |
