-We got a table tennis table as a -Christmas present when we were ten. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:08 | |

-Angharad and Megan, -you're university students. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
-Where do you study? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
-We're in our first year at Durham -studying Sociology. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
-Do you live together? | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
-We live in the same college, but -there are 200 people in one college. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
-We see each other a lot... | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
-..but it's not as if -we live in a house together. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
-How often do you see each other? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
-We're doing the same course, so we -see each other at every lecture... | 0:01:49 | 0:01:55 | |
-..but we have a different group -of friends and that's a good thing. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
-It's nice -to spend a bit of time apart. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:02 | |
-How much training do you do -for your table tennis? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:12 | |
-Before we went to university, -we played all the time. | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
-We played twice a day -and we went to the gym too. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
-Now that we're studying too, -we try to train whenever we can. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:24 | |
-What sort of thing do you do -in training? | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
-We usually train at the table, -so we work on different shots. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
-We also go to the gym -to work on our fitness... | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
-..and on our strength. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:44 | |
-How popular is table tennis? | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
-Not many Welsh people play... | 0:02:56 | 0:02:58 | |
-..but table tennis is the second -most popular sport in the world... | 0:02:58 | 0:03:03 | |
-..because so many Asians play it. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
-Hopefully, a lot more British people -will play one day. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:11 | |
-How exactly do the rankings work? | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
-It depends who you beat -in competitions. | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
-The points you gain depend -on your opponent's world ranking. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:23 | |
-At the moment, Megan is ranked -slightly higher than me... | 0:03:23 | 0:03:27 | |
-..and that's no fun at all! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
-I can work on that. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:32 | |
-What are your current rankings? | 0:03:32 | 0:03:35 | |
-I'm ranked number three in Wales -and Angharad is number four. Sorry! | 0:03:35 | 0:03:40 | |
-Ooh! | 0:03:40 | 0:03:42 | |
-I'm not sure -what my world ranking is... | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
-..but it's around 400 or 500. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:47 | |
-Megan is a minute older than me, -but I don't see her as a big sister. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:56 | |
-I don't let her boss me around. | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
-I see her more as a friend. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:00 | |
-I like spending time with Megan -because she's funny... | 0:04:03 | 0:04:07 | |
-..and she's kind, most of the time! | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
-Megan, I'm sure you and Angharad -are always interviewed as a pair. | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
-Is it sometimes nice to find some -peace and quiet in your bedroom? | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
-Yes, it's nice to find some peace. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:23 | |
-We do a lot together, but I do enjoy -being alone sometimes. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-Tell me about your hobbies. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:30 | |
-What do you enjoy doing beside -studying and playing table tennis? | 0:04:30 | 0:04:34 | |
-I like several different sports -such as netball and hockey. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:40 | |
-The two of us like football too. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
-I watch a lot of sport on TV -and I like watching films. | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
-I also enjoy -socializing with my friends. | 0:04:47 | 0:04:50 | |
-You celebrated your 21st birthday -a few months ago. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
-Yes, and it was nice -to celebrate with the family. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
-Mam and Dad organized -an amazing trip for us... | 0:04:59 | 0:05:02 | |
-..to watch Italy -play Wales at rugby. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:05 | |
-That was an amazing trip. | 0:05:05 | 0:05:07 | |
-Are you as keen on rugby -as those other sports? | 0:05:07 | 0:05:10 | |
-We both really like rugby -and we love to watch Wales playing. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:15 | |
-The little teddy up there... | 0:05:22 | 0:05:24 | |
-..bears the legend -2001 National Eisteddfod. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
-Does that mean -you competed in eisteddfodau? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:32 | |
-Yes, especially -when we were at junior school. | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
-We were part of a recitation group -and we competed in gymnastics too. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
-You've been used to competing -from a young age. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
-Yes. We had the same interests and -we're naturally competitive people. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
-We competed as a pair too. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:56 | |
-Is one of you -more competitive than the other? | 0:05:57 | 0:06:00 | |
-No, I'd say that -we're both extremely competitive. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:04 | |
-You both want to win -and that's the way it should be. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-You're similar in many ways... | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
-..but your taste in music and films -is quite different. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:21 | |
-Yes, we're very different -when it comes to music. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
-I like a lot of rock music... | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
-..but Angharad -likes 1980s and 1970s music. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:33 | |
-Do you argue about music -when you travel to and from Durham? | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
-Yes. We never want to listen -to each other's music. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
-It can be a bit awkward! | 0:06:41 | 0:06:42 | |
-Other than your taste in music... | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
-..is there anything else -which really sets you apart? | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
-Is there a really big difference -between you? | 0:06:54 | 0:06:57 | |
-I'm more laid-back than Angharad... | 0:06:57 | 0:07:00 | |
-..but she wouldn't be happy -to hear me say that! | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
-Maybe that's the main difference. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-I'm a bit more laid-back. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:08 | |
-Megan says -she's more laid-back than you. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
-Oh! | 0:07:11 | 0:07:12 | |
-Is that true? | 0:07:13 | 0:07:14 | |
-Is that true? - -I don't know. Maybe. | 0:07:14 | 0:07:16 | |
-If I'm being honest... | 0:07:16 | 0:07:19 | |
-..she copes better than me -in a crisis. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
-I get in more of a panic -than she does, unfortunately. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
-Our personalities -are pretty similar. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:31 | |
-I may be slightly more sarcastic -than her at times. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:35 | |
-Table tennis took up most of -our time when we were growing up... | 0:07:38 | 0:07:42 | |
-..but now we're at university, -we have time to do different things. | 0:07:42 | 0:07:48 | |
-Meg has done more sports, -like netball and hockey... | 0:07:48 | 0:07:52 | |
-..and I've taken an interest -in drama. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
-It's strange to see how we've -developed different interests... | 0:07:56 | 0:08:00 | |
-..even though we shared the same -experiences when we were growing up. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:05 | |
-What aspect of drama attracts you? | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-Acting and performing? | 0:08:08 | 0:08:10 | |
-In a sense, you have to perform -when you play table tennis. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:14 | |
-Yes, it's similar in a way. | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
-I've played table tennis -in front of hundreds of people... | 0:08:17 | 0:08:21 | |
-..at the Commonwealth Games. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:23 | |
-I also enjoy being on stage -in front of lots of people. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
-Do the people in your drama classes -know about your background? | 0:08:28 | 0:08:33 | |
-Do they know about your huge success -in the table tennis world? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
-They found out in dribs and drabs. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
-They had no idea when I joined... | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
-..and it was nice to do -something different with new people. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:49 | |
-The best thing -about going to university... | 0:08:49 | 0:08:52 | |
-..is being able to try new things. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:56 | |
-This is where you train -when you're at home. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
-This room could tell some stories! | 0:09:04 | 0:09:07 | |
-Yes, this is where I took -my first-ever table tennis shot. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:13 | |
-I thought you had to serve -like you do in tennis... | 0:09:13 | 0:09:17 | |
-..so the ball shot across the room! | 0:09:17 | 0:09:19 | |
-You'd never have imagined -I'd end up playing for Wales! | 0:09:20 | 0:09:24 | |
-We've spent a lot of time -training here. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:27 | |
-If your parents hadn't bought this -table for you all those years ago... | 0:09:29 | 0:09:34 | |
-..what sport do you think -you'd have taken up? | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
-I wanted to be an athlete -when I was little. | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
-I saw Kelly Holmes win two golds in -Athens and I wanted to emulate her. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:49 | |
-I think I could have ended up -doing any sport. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
-I really wanted to go to the -Commonwealth Games doing anything. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:58 | |
-It's lucky we got into table tennis. | 0:09:59 | 0:10:01 | |
-It's lucky we got into table tennis. - -Yes, and your dream came true. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:05 | |
-This table has an important job -over Christmas, doesn't it? | 0:10:09 | 0:10:13 | |
-Yes - that's where we eat. | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
-You sit around that table? | 0:10:16 | 0:10:18 | |
-A lot of people can sit around it, -so it's done a good job for us. | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
-The girls told me the story -about the table coming to the house. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
-What made you buy -a table tennis table? | 0:10:31 | 0:10:34 | |
-We'd made the decision... | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
-..to turn -what we called the flat... | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
-..into a games room. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
-We tried to -come up with something... | 0:10:44 | 0:10:47 | |
-..that the girls -didn't have an opportunity to try. | 0:10:47 | 0:10:51 | |
-They played netball and hockey -at school. | 0:10:51 | 0:10:54 | |
-We wanted an indoor sport which -would be fun for us as a family. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:59 | |
-It wasn't just for the girls - -it was for Mam and Dad too! | 0:10:59 | 0:11:03 | |
-That's how -we reached the decision... | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
-..and we found someone -who sold table tennis tables. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:12 | |
-Have they always been sporty? | 0:11:12 | 0:11:15 | |
-Yes, absolutely. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:17 | |
-We're both keen on sports -and we've always supported them. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
-They've done athletics, -swimming, gymnastics and skiing. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
-They did really well -at many of those. | 0:11:28 | 0:11:31 | |
-Are the rest of the family sporty? | 0:11:32 | 0:11:34 | |
-Yes. It runs in the family. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
-It started with my grandfather. | 0:11:37 | 0:11:40 | |
-He represented Wales at athletics... | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
-..and he played rugby for Llanelli. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
-My brother -competed in the triple jump... | 0:11:48 | 0:11:51 | |
-..at the Edmonton Commonwealth Games -in 1978. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
-I played football for Wales and -my cousin played rugby for Wales. | 0:11:56 | 0:12:01 | |
-There's something in the genes. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:03 | |
-Did you ever imagine they'd go -so far in the table tennis world? | 0:12:04 | 0:12:10 | |
-Definitely not. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:11 | |
-We just gave them the opportunity. | 0:12:12 | 0:12:14 | |
-When they first took it up, -I played against them... | 0:12:15 | 0:12:18 | |
-..and I always beat them -during the first year. | 0:12:19 | 0:12:22 | |
-I remember the day Angharad beat Dad -for the very first time. | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
-She ran upstairs when she won! | 0:12:28 | 0:12:30 | |
-It became obvious that they had -a real passion for the sport. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:36 | |
-Once they had that passion, it was -clear they'd be very successful. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:41 | |
-Someone from the local club -saw them playing after school. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
-They were just having a knockabout. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:47 | |
-This person turned to me and said... | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-.."Do you realize -your children have a real talent?" | 0:12:50 | 0:12:54 | |
-Six months later, -they were playing for Wales. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:58 | |
-They'd only had the table -for around 18 months at that stage. | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
-We realized very suddenly -that they have a special talent. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:07 | |
-Join me after the break -back here in Denbigh... | 0:13:08 | 0:13:11 | |
-..when I may show off -my table tennis skills! | 0:13:11 | 0:13:16 | |

-Welcome back to Denbigh, -where I'm spending time... | 0:13:32 | 0:13:35 | |
-..with table tennis twins -Angharad and Megan Phillips. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:39 | |
-Where are we now, ladies? | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
-This is one of our favourite places -in Denbigh. | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
-This chocolate shop is the -perfect place to come and relax... | 0:13:51 | 0:13:55 | |
-..after a training camp -or a competition. | 0:13:55 | 0:13:58 | |
-You've both ordered a mammoth drink. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:02 | |
-You've both ordered a mammoth drink. - -Yes. It's called The Full Monty. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
-It's hot chocolate topped with -marshmallows, a Flake and cream. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:09 | |
-This isn't part of your normal diet! | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
-No, it's a treat because -we eat healthily most of the time. | 0:14:12 | 0:14:16 | |
-It's important to treat yourself! | 0:14:16 | 0:14:19 | |
-That's the drink, -so what do you have to eat here? | 0:14:19 | 0:14:23 | |
-We love to eat chocolate pizza -when we're here. | 0:14:24 | 0:14:28 | |
-Chocolate pizza? | 0:14:28 | 0:14:29 | |
-Thank you, Nia. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-Thank you, Nia. - -You're welcome. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:32 | |
-Wow! | 0:14:33 | 0:14:34 | |
-Wow! - -It's definitely a treat! | 0:14:34 | 0:14:35 | |
-This is a dream come true -for a chocoholic like me! | 0:14:36 | 0:14:40 | |
-What's the best thing -about being twins? | 0:14:44 | 0:14:47 | |
-We always have a friend. -We never feel lonely. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
-What's the worst thing? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:56 | |
-What's the worst thing? - -When people treat us as one person. | 0:14:56 | 0:15:01 | |
-We may be similar, -but we're also individuals. | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
-There isn't much I dislike -about being a twin. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:09 | |
-They say that twins -finish each other's sentences... | 0:15:09 | 0:15:15 | |
-..and feel the same emotions. | 0:15:15 | 0:15:17 | |
-Is that true about you? | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
-When it comes to finishing -each other's sentences... | 0:15:19 | 0:15:23 | |
-..we're likely to do that sometimes. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:26 | |
-But we don't share each other's -emotions and we're not telepathic. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
-Really? | 0:15:32 | 0:15:33 | |
-Really? - -Unfortunately not. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:34 | |
-Well, as it happens... | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
-..I have a cup here -that's full of words. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
-I'll take a word out of the cup... | 0:15:42 | 0:15:48 | |
-..and you write down -the first thing that comes to mind. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
-You can write a word -or draw a picture. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
-Here comes the first word. | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
-Anifail - animal. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
-Neither of you are artists! | 0:16:03 | 0:16:06 | |
-You won't be able to work out -what this is! | 0:16:07 | 0:16:10 | |
-Finished? | 0:16:11 | 0:16:12 | |
-Show your pictures to the camera. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:15 | |
-Angharad, what's that? | 0:16:16 | 0:16:17 | |
-Angharad, what's that? - -A cat, but it may not look like one! | 0:16:17 | 0:16:19 | |
-Megan? | 0:16:20 | 0:16:21 | |
-Megan? - -A lion. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:22 | |
-A big cat. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
-A big cat. - -The same family. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
-Yours is better than mine! | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
-Here comes the next word. | 0:16:29 | 0:16:31 | |
-Dinbych - Denbigh. | 0:16:32 | 0:16:33 | |
-Ooh! | 0:16:33 | 0:16:35 | |
-Ready? | 0:16:40 | 0:16:41 | |
-This is rubbish! | 0:16:41 | 0:16:43 | |
-Turn your papers around now. | 0:16:43 | 0:16:46 | |
-You've both drawn similar castles. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
-That is a bit weird. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:52 | |
-Let's move on. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:55 | |
-I enjoy being a quizmaster! | 0:16:55 | 0:16:57 | |
-Bwyd - food. | 0:16:58 | 0:16:59 | |
-This is really spooky. -Show your pictures. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:05 | |
-You don't even like pizza! | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
-I think that definitely -proves something. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:16 | |
-Here comes the next word. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
-Dillad - clothes. | 0:17:19 | 0:17:20 | |
-Ready? | 0:17:23 | 0:17:24 | |
-Show your pictures. | 0:17:25 | 0:17:26 | |
-They're almost identical. | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
-They're almost identical. - -It made me drop my pen! | 0:17:32 | 0:17:33 | |
-That's spooky. | 0:17:35 | 0:17:36 | |
-Yes. You both left a gap -and neither of you drew a head. | 0:17:36 | 0:17:41 | |
-You see? | 0:17:42 | 0:17:44 | |
-You see? - -We are telepathic! | 0:17:44 | 0:17:45 | |
-We appreciate Mam and Dad's support. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:58 | |
-They've travelled everywhere with us -and they're always behind us. | 0:17:58 | 0:18:03 | |
-Yes. Mam and Dad -have been very supportive. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
-It would have been hard -to succeed without them. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:15 | |
-We really appreciate them. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
-They're on a long -and very expensive journey. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:22 | |
-You're their taxi -and the extra equipment costs money. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:26 | |
-Yes, that's definitely true. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
-The sports system -in Wales and Britain... | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
-..relies really heavily on parents. | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
-Children need supportive parents... | 0:18:36 | 0:18:39 | |
-..who also have the means -to support their children. | 0:18:39 | 0:18:42 | |
-It's really unfair, in some ways. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
-Many children who played with our -daughters when they started out... | 0:18:46 | 0:18:51 | |
-..fell by the wayside because their -parents just couldn't support them. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:57 | |
-It is unfair, but we're fortunate -enough to be able to support them. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:02 | |
-We've been to some incredible places -along the way. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
-Places we would never have visited. | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-We've been to China and India and -to several countries around Europe. | 0:19:09 | 0:19:14 | |
-We've also been to Halifax, -Barnsley and Accrington! | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
-Would you be happy to see one -of the girls turn professional... | 0:19:23 | 0:19:29 | |
-..after they've graduated? | 0:19:29 | 0:19:32 | |
-If one of them says they -want to turn professional... | 0:19:32 | 0:19:36 | |
-..we'd support her to the hilt. | 0:19:36 | 0:19:39 | |
-One problem for British -table tennis players... | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
-..is that players don't earn -much money in this country. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
-You couldn't live -on simply playing table tennis. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
-Not if you stayed in Britain. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:53 | |
-I usually feel nervous and excited -before I play a match. | 0:19:56 | 0:20:00 | |
-I try not to think -about my opponent... | 0:20:00 | 0:20:03 | |
-..and just focus -on what I'm going to do. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:06 | |
-I definitely have an adrenaline rush -before a match. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
-My heart starts to race. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:14 | |
-I have to control those feelings -or I'll become really nervous. | 0:20:15 | 0:20:19 | |
-At the same time, it just shows me -that I'm excited about the match. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:24 | |
-Angharad and Megan, -can you give me a quick lesson? | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
-I'm not sure how much I'll learn! | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
-I'm not sure how much I'll learn! - -We'll try. | 0:20:31 | 0:20:32 | |
-Great. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:34 | |
-How should I hold this bat, Megan? | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
-Most hold it -as if you're shaking hands... | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
-..with one finger -going down the bat. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:44 | |
-Hello! How are you? | 0:20:44 | 0:20:46 | |
-Exactly. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:48 | |
-You start with a serve, -just like tennis. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
-Yes. Throw the ball up around -six inches in a straight line. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:57 | |
-A backhand serve looks like this. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:00 | |
-It has to bounce on this side -then on the other side. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
-That's it - perfect. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:11 | |
-That's it - perfect. - -Really? | 0:21:11 | 0:21:13 | |
-Yes. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:15 | |
-What's the longest rally you've had? | 0:21:15 | 0:21:17 | |
-What's the longest rally you've had? - -I don't know. | 0:21:17 | 0:21:19 | |
-We once did a 300-stroke rally -for Children In Need. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
-What? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:24 | |
-The world record is eight hours. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:28 | |
-The world record is eight hours. - -Non-stop? | 0:21:28 | 0:21:30 | |
-Yes. | 0:21:30 | 0:21:31 | |
-Whoa! That's a lot of hitting. | 0:21:32 | 0:21:34 | |
-I don't think -we'll try to break that record. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
-What's next for you two? | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
-A competition in Luxembourg -next week. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
-We'll travel there -with the Wales team... | 0:21:52 | 0:21:55 | |
-..to play people from across Europe. | 0:21:55 | 0:21:58 | |
-It will be our biggest competition -for a long time. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-Megan, you're off to China. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:04 | |
-Yes, I'm competing -in the World Championships. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
-How long will you be in China? | 0:22:09 | 0:22:11 | |
-For just over a week... | 0:22:11 | 0:22:13 | |
-..then it's straight back -to university to sit my exams. | 0:22:14 | 0:22:18 | |
-You're getting better. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
-I spoke too soon! | 0:22:25 | 0:22:26 | |
-How long will you continue -to play table tennis? | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
-We definitely want to carry on -until the next Commonwealth Games. | 0:22:32 | 0:22:36 | |
-We'll do three years at university -and the Games will be a year away. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:42 | |
-Our hope is to train hard -and be selected again. | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
-After that, I'm not sure. | 0:22:45 | 0:22:47 | |
-We'll have to see how it goes. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:50 | |
-You must hear this pinging noise -in your sleep! | 0:22:52 | 0:22:55 | |
-Oh, no! | 0:22:58 | 0:22:59 | |
-What advice would you offer -to a young person... | 0:23:01 | 0:23:04 | |
-..who wants to take up table tennis, -or any other sport? | 0:23:04 | 0:23:09 | |
-Find a sport you really enjoy. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:13 | |
-If you enjoy it, training is easy. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
-You have to put a lot of hours in... | 0:23:17 | 0:23:20 | |
-..but if you make it fun, -it doesn't feel like hard work. | 0:23:20 | 0:23:25 | |
-Angharad and Megan, -thank you for the welcome... | 0:23:25 | 0:23:28 | |
-..and for the great tips. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
-Good luck in Luxembourg -and in China. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
-Thank you. | 0:23:33 | 0:23:34 | |
