-Subtitl

-Welcome back.

-Yvonne has told us that Cardiff is

-bustling with the Tafwyl Festival...

-..and the Justin Bieber concert

-tonight.

-Thousands will also flock to the

-capital for the Urdd's Gemau Cymru.

-The competing started earlier

-and Alun was there too.

-I don't know about you but when

-I think of the Urdd Eisteddfod...

-..I think about singing,

-reciting and folk dancing.

-But at the Sport Wales

-National Centre in Sophia Gardens...

-..the Urdd is welcoming hundreds

-of children for Gemau Cymru.

-Gemau Cymru is a multi-sport

-festival for the best in Wales.

-This weekend

-sees nine different sports.

-with the best Wales has to offer.

-There are competitors from

-Holyhead, West Wales and Cardiff.

-today, tomorrow and Sunday.

-first competition of weightlifting.

-Who's the favourite to win?

-Who's the favourite to win?

-

-Oh, I don't know.

-We all do different

-weight categories.

-I'm 69.

-I'm 69.

-

-I'm 63.

-And I'm 75.

-You'll win the 75, you can win

-the 63 and you'll win the 69...

-..and you'll all be happy!

-Good luck to you.

-We left the weightlifting

-to enjoy some canoeing.

-What are you doing this afternoon?

-We've been canoeing in Gemau Cymru

-in double and single kayaks.

-Will you be racing against

-each other?

-Yes, there are different heats

-where we race against each other.

-What you think about Gemau Cymru...

-..and the opportunities it offers

-to take part in these races?

-It's great for young children

-to have fun on the water...

-..and canoe against each other

-in different kayaks.

-Children get to try kayaks

-they have never paddled before.

-Last year, I tried some new ones

-and it was a great experience.

-The aim is to raise the quality

-of our Welsh athletes.

-It's important to be able to compete

-in a high-quality event.

-In Wales, and especially

-through the medium of Welsh...

-..they should

-have these opportunities.

-It's thanks to the Urdd,

-that we're able to host such events.

-It's wonderful to organize

-such a fantastic festival...

-..through the medium of Welsh

-for the young people of Wales.

-A lot of these children...

-..don't hear Welsh being spoken

-in a sporting event of this calibre.

-Good luck to everyone who's taking

-part in the Gemau Cymru.

-Paul Davies' sport

-is ice hockey in Finland...

-..but you're home in Wales

-for a little holiday.

-What's your role in the

-ice hockey world in Finland?

-I'm the physiotherapist for the

-National Finnish Ice Hockey Team.

-I deal with all sorts of things

-that the players need.

-How did you get a chance

-to work with the team?

-I'm from Gorslas.

-I met my wife and she's a Finn.

-We first lived in Louisiana...

-..before moving back to Finland.

-I did a degree and as I graduated...

-..I got this job!

-I played in the under 18

-and 21s Wales teams.

-I played with a lot

-of familiar names...

-..from about five years ago.

-I don't think they are playing

-any more.

-You've played rugby for Wales.

-Rugby is our national sport.

-What's the national sport

-in Finland?

-It's ice hockey and football.

-What's life like in Finland?

-It can be a bit cold in Finland.

-I've got some new music.

-You tend to sing on your own.

-Yes, I sing on my own.

-I don't tend to sing with a band.

-the acoustic stage last year.

-You released your EP last year.

-It was released last November.

-It had a great response.

-You sing in Welsh and English.

-Yes, I perform in Welsh and English.

-My style is quite folksy!

-I think I was inspired by Welsh

-folk music and Meic Stevens.

-Aled has a special performance

-for us at the end of the programme.

-What are you singing for us later,

-Aled?

-Tonight's song is called Hawdd.

-It's about being with someone

-who makes you feel comfortable.

-It's a family festival.

-Nerys Griffiths is here.

-Yes, I've been coming to the

-festival for ten years.

-The Welsh language

-It's wonderful to see

-the Welsh language thriving.

-There's something for everyone!

-There's one question

-on everyone's lips, Yvonne.

-What's the weather going to be like

-for the Tafwyl Festival?

-Despite all the rain

-during the last week...

-..it should remain dry

-for the Tafwyl Festival.

-There will be some sunshine.

-Later in the night, there is

-expected to be some showers.

-Sunday is dry with sunny spells.

-The weather should be fine

-for the Tafwyl Festival.

-Thank you, Yvonne.

-I'm looking forward to it.

-Social media sites will be full of

-photos of people enjoying at Tafwyl.

-Don't forget we have over 25 years

-of footage in our archives...

-..and you can contact us with

-requests for old items from Heno.

-Today, we uploaded a new clip

-to our Facebook and YouTube pages.

-It's of the Phoenix Inn

-at Gorslas...

-..that won Pub of the Week

-on Heno in June 1996.

-Visit our online pages

-to view the item in full.

-After the break, we count down

-to the start of the Tour de France.

-Aled Rheon also performs at Llandaff

-Fields at the Tafwyl Festival.

-Join us in a few minutes.

-Subtitles

-Welcome back.

-Tomorrow is a big day for sport.

-The Lions play their second test

-against New Zealand.

-How do you think they'll get on,

-Aled?

-I think they'll win.

-They played well last week.

-The world-famous Tour de France

-also begins tomorrow.

-Geraint Thomas and Luke Rowe

-are the two Welsh competitors.

-We caught up with the professional

-cyclist, Griff Lewis...

-..to hear of their hopes

-for this year's event.

-Another year has passed and we're

-about to start the Tour de France.

-Yes, it's an exciting time.

-I always get excited before

-the start of the Tour de France.

-I'm a total cycling nerd and always

-have butterflies in my stomach.

-I've bought all the magazines,

-read up on everyone and can't wait!

-This year's event

-starts in Dusseldorf.

-It hasn't started in Germany

-for many years.

-The course has been designed so that

-a German wears the yellow jersey!

-One man who could take the maillot

-jaune is the German, Tony Martin.

-He's reasonably good against

-the clock and a world champion.

-I think Germany planned the route

-to suit Tony Martin.

-Chris Froome won last year...

-..so what are his chances in 2017

-against the other favourites?

-The others will want to beat Froome

-this year.

-He's off his game so will have

-to work hard to retain his title.

-Valverde didn't ride in the Giro and

-Quintana wasn't as fit in the Giro.

-There's a question mark

-over Contador.

-It's really exciting and it should

-be excellent if all goes to plan.

-You're right about Froome but

-Richie Porte is looking strong too.

-He won the Paris-Nice in the past

-and second in the Dauphine in 2017.

-What are his chances?

-Richie Porte can win

-if his team is supporting him...

-..but in the Dauphine, Richie Porte

-was by himself in the mountains.

-Froome has people

-such as Geraint Thomas.

-He finished the Giro early...

-..but is refreshed for the Tour de

-France and ready to support Froome.

-It's the third consecutive year for

-us to have two Welshmen in the Tour.

-There's Luke Rowe and Geraint Thomas

-so how will they fair this year?

-Luke Rowe

-is the master of the peloton.

-People would pay a lot of money

-to have him on their team.

-We didn't expect to see Geraint in

-the Tour after a disappointing Giro.

-It's great that Geraint

-is competing again this year.

-He's the second card for Sky

-if things fall apart for Froome.

-Yes, if anything happens to Froome

-then Geraint has a great chance.

-He looked very strong in the Giro.

-I'm lucky to be in Wales

-and commentating on the event...

-..but what are your thoughts about

-going to Germany again this year?

-I'll be in Germany, Belgium and

-France for the first three days...

-..and will be in Marseilles, Paris

-and the Alps for the final week.

-We're looking forward to putting

-a Welsh stamp on the Tour de France.

-You can view the latest from the

-Tour every day on S4C at 2.00pm.

-Trystan, Aled and Paul

-have been our guests.

-Trystan is back on our screens

-next week for S4C's coverage...

-..of the Llangollen

-International Musical Eisteddfod.

-There's daily highlights

-from 2.00pm from Wednesday.

-Nia and I will have highlights

-in the night.

-Enjoy your holidays.

-I'm going back to Finland

-on Thursday.

-Those attending the Tafwyl Festival

-will see Aled Rheon performing.

-Yvonne chatted with him earlier...

-..and he closes tonight's programme

-with his performance of Hawdd.

-# It's noon, or one o'clock

-# The sun hasn't stirred us yet

-# A heavy head, a dry mouth

-# In the city with you

-# The bed is cosy, the bed is warm

-# The floor seems far away

-# Close our eyes for five minutes

-# Or more, if you're lucky

-# Lay your head down

-# You don't have to move now

-# And it's easy in the city with you

-# Beneath a tree, near the river

-# Nobody notices us

-# Grass grows around our legs

-# Hair grows on our heads

-# Lay your head down

-# You don't have to move now

-# And it's easy in the city with you

-# Sharing a smile,

-quenching our thirst

-# There's a flow of wine,

-a map of the world

-# Counting stars under the influence

-# But we fail to name one

-# Lay your head down

-# You don't have to move now

-# Lay your head down

-# You don't have to move now
