0:00:03 > 0:00:09Sportspeople must be fast, strong and deadly accurate.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14But did you know they wouldn't be able to compete without maths?
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Timekeeping, scoring,
0:00:20 > 0:00:25speed, shape, distance...
0:00:25 > 0:00:27it's all mathematics.
0:00:27 > 0:00:31A tenth of a second or just a few millimetres can transform
0:00:31 > 0:00:35an ordinary person into a World Champion.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40This is...
0:00:40 > 0:00:41- 3, 2, 1...- Go
0:00:41 > 0:00:44We take teams to a secret location...
0:00:44 > 0:00:46This really is a special place!
0:00:49 > 0:00:50This is fabulous!
0:00:50 > 0:00:53..to be given a behind the scenes tour...
0:00:53 > 0:00:56LAUGHTER
0:00:56 > 0:00:58..and meet their sporting heroes..
0:00:58 > 0:01:00Hi, nice to meet you.
0:01:01 > 0:01:03..who will give them a maths challenge.
0:01:03 > 0:01:083, 2, ,1 go!
0:01:08 > 0:01:09- Go!- Go!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12If they get it right...
0:01:12 > 0:01:1317!
0:01:13 > 0:01:181, 2, 3, 4...
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Probability suggests he'll dive to the bottom right corner.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25..they win a gold medal.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30This challenge is all about rugby.
0:01:32 > 0:01:37Rugby Union is played on a grass field up to 100m long and 70m wide.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41Two teams of 15-a-side, try to get an oval shaped ball
0:01:41 > 0:01:43to either end of the pitch.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47The ball can be kicked forwards,
0:01:47 > 0:01:51but only passed sideways or backwards.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53Five points are scored for a try and a further
0:01:53 > 0:01:59two for converting it. And tackling IS allowed. So, are you ready?
0:01:59 > 0:02:033, 2, 1, go!
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Today, rugby fans Finnley and Dylan are being taken to a secret location
0:02:07 > 0:02:12in Cardiff in Wales to complete their 3, 2, 1 Go! challenge.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15They have no idea where they're going.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17BOTH: Ummm...
0:02:17 > 0:02:18I don't know.
0:02:18 > 0:02:23Finnley 'The Flea' is a genius at tag rugby.
0:02:23 > 0:02:27He is six-years-old and plays for St Peter's Rugby club
0:02:27 > 0:02:32where he loves to score the winning try of the match
0:02:32 > 0:02:37Ah, it looks like Dylan has spotted the secret location.
0:02:37 > 0:02:40Welcome to the Millennium stadium.
0:02:40 > 0:02:42Dylan likes to defend.
0:02:42 > 0:02:48He is seven-years-old and also plays for St Peter's Rugby club
0:02:48 > 0:02:50where he has won man of the match.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54Millennium Stadium.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57I call it the smelly bum stadium.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Cos his brother can't pronounce millennium.
0:03:00 > 0:03:01Neither can you.
0:03:02 > 0:03:08The Millennium Stadium is home to the Wales National Rugby Union team.
0:03:10 > 0:03:15Every year it hosts the Six Nations home games in front of 74,500 fans.
0:03:15 > 0:03:19It even has it's own retractable roof to keep everyone nice and dry.
0:03:19 > 0:03:23This is where the boys are going to be given
0:03:23 > 0:03:25their 3, 2, 1 Go! challenge.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27This really is a special place.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35Hi, boys, welcome to the Millennium Stadium. Let's go!
0:03:36 > 0:03:38This is the special entrance where the players
0:03:38 > 0:03:42arrive for their matches at the stadium.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44And the boys are being given a back stage tour.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46It's the Welsh home dressing room.
0:03:50 > 0:03:55If you look over here you'll see all the shirts the players wear.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Um, where's the number 11, Shane?
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Oh, see if you can see Shane's shirt.
0:04:01 > 0:04:04- Put your arms out, look how big it is.- It's huge!
0:04:04 > 0:04:06It wouldn't fit you, I'm afraid.
0:04:06 > 0:04:11I think you'll have to grow a bit before you make the team, lads.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30This is where every Welsh rugby player dreams of walking out.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34And Dylan and Finnley get it all to themselves.
0:04:36 > 0:04:37What's it like, lads?
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It looks absolutely huge.
0:04:39 > 0:04:44When you look up it looks like you're actually going to
0:04:44 > 0:04:47drift off into space. It's that big.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Today, two of the Wales national team
0:04:53 > 0:04:56have taken a break in their training...
0:04:56 > 0:05:01- Hello, boys.- ..to give the boys their 3, 2, 1 Go! maths challenge.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02- How's it going?- Fine. - You having fun?
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Lloyd Williams plays for the Cardiff Blues.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16He plays scrum half, so he makes many of the tactical decisions.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18He has earned six international caps,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21and represents Wales in the Six Nations.
0:05:23 > 0:05:29Harry Robinson loves playing at the Millennium stadium.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34He plays on the wing. His team is also the Cardiff Blues.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37And at only 18, he's been selected
0:05:37 > 0:05:40as the youngest player of the Wales squad.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43Do you play Rugby?
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- Yes, we play for our school. - We play tag.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Who is your favourite player, boys?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Warburton.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- He's pretty good, isn't he? - Can't choose.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53Are you backs, boys, or forwards?
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I'm a full back, that's my favourite place.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59Now Harry's got their 3, 2, 1 Go challenge. Listen up, lads.
0:05:59 > 0:06:03In a match we need to pass the ball quickly to each other
0:06:03 > 0:06:06across the field to score in the open spaces.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08What is the furthest you can pass the ball to your partner
0:06:08 > 0:06:09with them catching it?
0:06:09 > 0:06:13You have five attempts. Measure the length of each completed pass
0:06:13 > 0:06:16and decide which is the furthest. 3,2,1 go!
0:06:16 > 0:06:20So the boys have been given a measuring challenge.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23They need to see how far they can throw and catch the rugby ball.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24The have five attempts.
0:06:24 > 0:06:27Each time Finnley catches the ball,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Dylan needs to mark how far it went with a cone.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32But how are you going to measure it, boys?
0:06:34 > 0:06:35Ah, a tape measure.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Hold that.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Now they just need to get it straight
0:06:39 > 0:06:43before they can take their first measurement.
0:06:48 > 0:06:51Go back to yours, go back to yours.
0:06:51 > 0:06:52It must be nine.
0:06:52 > 0:06:563 metres 90cm.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58Now they need to write down their first result.
0:07:05 > 0:07:08Good catch! Bit of a stumble!
0:07:08 > 0:07:09Where was it?
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Knowing how far you can throw the ball can be
0:07:16 > 0:07:20the difference between making the pass and losing possession.
0:07:20 > 0:07:274 metres 79cm.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44It looks like the boys are really getting the hang of this.
0:07:48 > 0:07:50It's important to know how to measure accurately.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Without knowing how long everything is, they couldn't have built
0:07:53 > 0:07:54this enormous stadium!
0:07:54 > 0:07:595m 55cm.
0:08:07 > 0:08:09Three down, just two to go.
0:08:13 > 0:08:14Oh, good catch, The Flea.
0:08:20 > 0:08:246 metres 12cm.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28The throws seem to be getting longer and longer.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Last throw, boys, make it count.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- How long is it? - 7 metres.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50So now they've got their five measurements,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53they just have to work out which was the longest.
0:08:53 > 0:08:56Throw one was 3m 90cm,
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Throw two, 4m 79cm.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04Throw three was 5m 55cm.
0:09:04 > 0:09:08Throw four was 6m 12cm
0:09:08 > 0:09:12and their last throw was 7m.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14So which was the longest throw?
0:09:14 > 0:09:16The biggest is 7 metres.
0:09:16 > 0:09:18OK, yep.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21Looks like they got it right.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24Their fifth throw was definitely the longest.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27A mammoth throw and perfect catch.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29How long was it again?
0:09:29 > 0:09:31BOTH: Seven metres!
0:09:31 > 0:09:36The boys have completed their 3, 2, 1 Go! challenge,
0:09:36 > 0:09:39and players Lloyd and Harry have got their prizes.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44And your medal. Hit me, Dyl. Here you go, mate.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46And here's your medal. Well done, mate.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- BOTH:- Well done, boys.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Great job, boys!
0:09:51 > 0:09:53Now your teacher has a challenge for you.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54BOTH: 3, 2, 1 Go!
0:09:58 > 0:10:06Sportspeople must be fast, strong and deadly accurate.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11But did you know, they wouldn't be able to compete with out maths?
0:10:12 > 0:10:19Timekeeping, scoring, speed,
0:10:19 > 0:10:24shape, distance, it's all mathematics.
0:10:24 > 0:10:28A tenth of a second or just a few millimetres
0:10:28 > 0:10:32can transform an ordinary person into a world champion.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Great Britain get the gold!
0:10:35 > 0:10:38- This is...- 3, 2, 1...- Go!
0:10:38 > 0:10:41We take teams to a secret location...
0:10:41 > 0:10:43This really is a special place!
0:10:46 > 0:10:47It's fabulous!
0:10:47 > 0:10:50..to be given a behind-the-scenes tour...
0:10:50 > 0:10:52LAUGHTER
0:10:52 > 0:10:56..and meet their sporting heroes...
0:10:56 > 0:10:57Hi, nice to meet you.
0:10:58 > 0:11:00..who will give them a maths challenge.
0:11:00 > 0:11:043, 2, 1...go!
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Go!- Go!
0:11:06 > 0:11:09And if they get it right...
0:11:09 > 0:11:1017!
0:11:10 > 0:11:151, 2, 3, 4...
0:11:15 > 0:11:19Probability suggests she'll dive to the bottom right corner.
0:11:19 > 0:11:21..they win a gold medal.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26This challenge is all about rowing.
0:11:29 > 0:11:35All Olympic rowing races are 2,000 metres long with six lanes.
0:11:35 > 0:11:41The boats or 'shells' can have one, two, four or eight rowers in them.
0:11:41 > 0:11:43And some have a cox to steer them.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47The rowers have either one or two oars each.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50They paddle together in a straight line
0:11:50 > 0:11:54and first to cross the finish line wins. So are you ready?
0:11:54 > 0:11:563, 2, 1 Go!
0:12:00 > 0:12:03Today, rowing fans Morgan and Lachlan
0:12:03 > 0:12:07are being taken to a secret location near the town of Maidenhead.
0:12:08 > 0:12:12They both do quite a few sports.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17I do rugby, swimming, tennis, skiing.
0:12:17 > 0:12:22Morgan loves going to watch the rowing with his family.
0:12:22 > 0:12:28He's six-years-old, goes to the Henley Regatta every year,
0:12:28 > 0:12:32and wants to learn how to row.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34And it's not just Morgan who's into his sports.
0:12:34 > 0:12:40Ah, I do kayaking, tennis, football, rugby.
0:12:40 > 0:12:45So Lachlan is has a list of sports as his arm.
0:12:45 > 0:12:46He is seven-years-old.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50He was born in Australia, where he learned to kayak.
0:12:50 > 0:12:54And he loves the water so much he's learning to surf.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56But he also likes lots of other sports.
0:12:56 > 0:13:03Cricket, swimming, dodge-ball, that's it.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Come on, is that really it?
0:13:05 > 0:13:09And I forgot, I play hockey too.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13Well, it's a good job they do all those sports,
0:13:13 > 0:13:16because where they're heading is home to huge variety of athletes.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre,
0:13:19 > 0:13:24right on the River Thames, houses the UK's most elite athletes.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27All of the British athletes that won gold in the Beijing Olympics
0:13:27 > 0:13:32came through here. And it's where the GB Olympic rowing squads train.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36But it's not just them, over 100 different British Olympic
0:13:36 > 0:13:39and paralympic athletes are training here too,
0:13:39 > 0:13:41from hockey to synchronized swimming.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45It's usually only the highest level sports people that are allowed in,
0:13:45 > 0:13:50but today, Lachlan and Morgan are going to be given special access.
0:13:52 > 0:13:55- Hi, Morgan, hi, Lachlan.- Hello.
0:13:57 > 0:14:00Welcome to the English Institute Of Sport at Bisham Abbey.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Come on in and we'll show you around, OK?
0:14:07 > 0:14:11Welcome to the gym. This is where the athletes train,
0:14:11 > 0:14:14and this is where they earn their gold medals.
0:14:14 > 0:14:18To earn those medals, the athletes train
0:14:18 > 0:14:22every day lifting enormous weights to build their muscles.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25To find out exactly what these athletes are lifting,
0:14:25 > 0:14:26the boys get weighed in.
0:14:26 > 0:14:32OK, you stand on there. So you're about 23 kilos.
0:14:32 > 0:14:33OK, off you get.
0:14:33 > 0:14:37- Go on, stand on there.- I'm a lot.
0:14:37 > 0:14:41- He's definitely... - 27 and a half kilos.
0:14:41 > 0:14:43That is about how much you weigh.
0:14:43 > 0:14:48OK, do you want to see how heavy it is?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51Right, I'll help you, because you won't be able to hold it.
0:14:51 > 0:14:52- Aarrggh!- It's bit heavy, isn't it?
0:14:52 > 0:14:55Here you go, do you want to hold this one?
0:14:55 > 0:14:59- And see how heavy that is. That's as much as you weigh.- Uuurgh!
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Maybe something a bit smaller, boys.
0:15:03 > 0:15:08You need five of those to be the same weight as you.
0:15:08 > 0:15:10And you need about four and a half of those
0:15:10 > 0:15:12to be the same weight as you.
0:15:12 > 0:15:15Not bad, now lets see if they measure up.
0:15:15 > 0:15:19Can they pull up their entire body weight?
0:15:21 > 0:15:25Up again. Good work. There we go, one more?
0:15:25 > 0:15:27There you go.
0:15:29 > 0:15:34Good work. Another? There we go. And that is just like the rowers do.
0:15:34 > 0:15:37Good strength. Come on then, your turn.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45Er, I think that's cheating, Lachlan.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46That's easy, that way.
0:15:46 > 0:15:50Now, if they keep building their muscles up,
0:15:50 > 0:15:52one day they might be able to lift
0:15:52 > 0:15:54as much as some of the athletes here.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59Just down here, one of the rowers here is the Paralympic champion.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03So he's the champion of the world, the best rower in the world,
0:16:03 > 0:16:05and he's lifting some very heavy weights,
0:16:05 > 0:16:10so he's probably lifting about three of you in each hand.
0:16:10 > 0:16:15- One hand?- With one hand. See how big his muscles are?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17He trains all the time to make sure
0:16:17 > 0:16:20he has muscles that big so that he can pull himself along
0:16:20 > 0:16:23in the rowing boat, and that's how he does it.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27As well as lifting extremely heavy weights, the rowing team
0:16:27 > 0:16:31also have to practice for a very long time on the rowing machines.
0:16:31 > 0:16:34These are some of the rowers that are going to row the Olympics.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37OK, so through here, this is the women's squad,
0:16:37 > 0:16:40They have to spend lots of time on the rowing machine
0:16:40 > 0:16:43so what they've been doing is just a hard session so they're very tired.
0:16:43 > 0:16:46But of course, the real rowing doesn't happen on dry land.
0:16:46 > 0:16:47Look at that...
0:16:47 > 0:16:52One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
0:16:52 > 0:16:55Just outside the training centre is the River Thames
0:16:55 > 0:16:57where the rowing teams get out on the water...
0:17:02 > 0:17:05..and put all of that training in to practice.
0:17:10 > 0:17:15Today, one of the British Olympic rowing team
0:17:15 > 0:17:18has taken a break in her training to give them their challenge.
0:17:18 > 0:17:21- Hello, boys.- Hello. - I'm Anna, what are your names?
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- Morgan. - And Lachlan.
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Very nice to meet you.
0:17:25 > 0:17:29Anna Watkins competes in the women's double scull.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35With that event, she has won the World Championship
0:17:35 > 0:17:40and also come first in the World Cup, and at the Beijing Olympics
0:17:40 > 0:17:42she took home a bronze medal.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45When did you start rowing?
0:17:45 > 0:17:50I started rowing when I was pretty grown up, when I was 18
0:17:50 > 0:17:51Quite a lot of people row at school now,
0:17:51 > 0:17:54so people can start when they're children.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Do you have and lucky pants or jumpers?
0:17:58 > 0:17:59SHE LAUGHS
0:17:59 > 0:18:03I'm really scared of having lucky underpants or jumpers
0:18:03 > 0:18:08because if I lost them before a big race then it would worry me,
0:18:08 > 0:18:11so I try not to have anything like that.
0:18:11 > 0:18:13And after that cheeky question,
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Anna has got their 3,2,1, Go! challenge
0:18:18 > 0:18:20And the boys look raring to go.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23Here is your challenge, boys.
0:18:23 > 0:18:26I row with two oars, one on each side of the boat.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30Work out how many oars a four-person crew would need
0:18:30 > 0:18:32if they had two each.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Then lay them out.
0:18:34 > 0:18:383, 2, 1, Go!
0:18:38 > 0:18:42So the boys have been given a multiplication challenge.
0:18:42 > 0:18:47They have to work out how many oars the crew of this boat needs.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53How many oars to we need in a four person boat?
0:18:53 > 0:18:55If one person has two oars...
0:18:55 > 0:18:58Right, they know what they're working out.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02The boat has four crew members and each one needs two oars.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04So what's the sum, boys?
0:19:04 > 0:19:08Two times four equals...
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Eight.
0:19:11 > 0:19:12Yeah.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20Right, Lachlan and Morgan think they would need eight oars.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23OK, time to put your maths to the test, boys.
0:19:32 > 0:19:35Doing multiplication is just repeated addition
0:19:35 > 0:19:39But it's a much faster way of getting to the answer.
0:19:45 > 0:19:49Looks like the boys have really got the hang of rigging this boat.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Come on, nearly there, boys.
0:20:01 > 0:20:04OK, they've laid them all out.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Each of the four seats now has two oars.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Time to count them up and check if they got it right.
0:20:09 > 0:20:14BOTH: One...two...
0:20:14 > 0:20:19three...four...
0:20:19 > 0:20:21Yeah, so far so good, guys.
0:20:24 > 0:20:31BOTH: Five...six...seven...
0:20:31 > 0:20:32eight.
0:20:33 > 0:20:35Eight oars.
0:20:35 > 0:20:38Checking your answers is very important,
0:20:38 > 0:20:40so you know you haven't gone wrong anywhere
0:20:40 > 0:20:43And it looks like they got it right.
0:20:43 > 0:20:44Eight.
0:20:46 > 0:20:50First, they worked out the correct sum.
0:20:50 > 0:20:54There are four rowers in the boat and each need two oars,
0:20:54 > 0:20:57so they boys put two times four.
0:20:57 > 0:21:00Which is how they got to their answer.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03What was it again, lads?
0:21:03 > 0:21:05BOTH: Eight oars!
0:21:05 > 0:21:09The boys have completed their 3, 2, 1, Go! challenge,
0:21:09 > 0:21:13and rower Anna Watkins has got their prizes.
0:21:13 > 0:21:17OK, Lachlan very well done on your challenge.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20You did a great job. I've got a certificate for you.
0:21:20 > 0:21:21Thank you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:26And a certificate for you. Congratulations.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Also, I've got this very nice shiny medal
0:21:29 > 0:21:31Thank you.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36There you go.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38Good job.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43You've done a great job, boys.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47Now your teacher has a challenge for you.
0:21:47 > 0:21:483, 2, 1, Go!
0:21:53 > 0:22:00Sports people must be fast, strong and deadly accurate.
0:22:02 > 0:22:07But did you know, they wouldn't be able to compete without maths...
0:22:07 > 0:22:10timekeeping...
0:22:10 > 0:22:12scoring...
0:22:12 > 0:22:14speed...
0:22:14 > 0:22:16shape...
0:22:16 > 0:22:19distance? It's all mathematics.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23A tenth of a second or just a few millimetres can transform
0:22:23 > 0:22:27an ordinary person into a world champion.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29Great Britain gets the gold!
0:22:29 > 0:22:31This is...
0:22:31 > 0:22:33- 3,2,1...- Go!
0:22:33 > 0:22:35We take teams to a secret location...
0:22:35 > 0:22:38This really is a special place!
0:22:40 > 0:22:42Fabulous.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45..to be given a behind-the-scenes tour...
0:22:45 > 0:22:47Argh!
0:22:47 > 0:22:50..and meet their sporting heroes...
0:22:50 > 0:22:52Hello, Jack, nice to meet you.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55...who will give them a maths challenge.
0:22:55 > 0:22:593, 2, 1, Go!
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- Go! - Go!
0:23:02 > 0:23:03And if they get it right...
0:23:03 > 0:23:0617!
0:23:06 > 0:23:10One, two, three, four.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13Probability suggests that she'll dive to the bottom right corner.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17..they win a gold medal.
0:23:17 > 0:23:21This challenge is all about gymnastics.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Gymnastics is a sport that involves the performance
0:23:27 > 0:23:33of exercises demonstrating strength, agility, and balance.
0:23:33 > 0:23:38Floor exercises take place on a mat measuring 12 metres by 12 metres.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40A performance must contain forward,
0:23:40 > 0:23:45backwards and sideways acrobatic elements and a balance move.
0:23:45 > 0:23:46It must not exceed 70 seconds
0:23:46 > 0:23:50and they must not step outside the lines. So are you ready?
0:23:56 > 0:24:01Today, gymnastics fans Megan and Konor are being taken
0:24:01 > 0:24:04to a secret location near Heathrow Airport,
0:24:04 > 0:24:07to complete their 3, 2, 1, Go! challenge.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12When it comes to gymnastics, Megan's a bit of a daredevil.
0:24:12 > 0:24:17My favourite is the balancing, cos you get to balance on high stuff.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Megan would like to be a gymnast in the future.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23She is seven-years-old
0:24:23 > 0:24:27and gymnastics is definitely her favourite sport.
0:24:27 > 0:24:31She's been a member of her school gym club for a year.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34It sounds like they have quite a bit of kit there.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37they have a high beam and they have...
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Trampolines.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Konor also loves gymnastics.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45He's six years old
0:24:45 > 0:24:47and also goes to their school gym club.
0:24:47 > 0:24:51He and Megan are the longest-serving members.
0:24:54 > 0:24:57And he's just spotted where they're going.
0:24:57 > 0:24:58Heathrow Gymnastics Club.
0:24:58 > 0:25:02The Heathrow Gymnastics Club is the UK's only official
0:25:02 > 0:25:05Olympic Association training gymnasium.
0:25:05 > 0:25:08It is the largest gymnastics facility in England
0:25:08 > 0:25:13and is the most successful British club across all disciplines.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16And it's where Megan and Konor are going to be given
0:25:16 > 0:25:19their 3, 2, 1 Go! challenge.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21- Welcome to the gym, are you excited? - Yes.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24Have you done any gymnastics before?
0:25:24 > 0:25:25BOTH: Yes.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27- What have you done? - We do a club at school.
0:25:27 > 0:25:30Oh, you do a club at school, do you? What do you do at the gym at school?
0:25:30 > 0:25:35We do like high beam stuff and...
0:25:35 > 0:25:37jumping.
0:25:39 > 0:25:42But this gym is a little different to their gym at school.
0:25:42 > 0:25:47Now, even though they've come for a maths challenge,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49you can't pass up a chance to train
0:25:49 > 0:25:52where some of the British Olympic team practise their stuff.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01Megan, see if you can catch Konor.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Never!
0:26:04 > 0:26:08And now for a bit of floor work.
0:26:10 > 0:26:12Push, push!
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Good.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Now this may look like they're washing their hands,
0:26:18 > 0:26:23but in fact, it's chalk, it will help them grip the bar.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Much better! Well done!
0:26:25 > 0:26:29Keep going and drop.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Looks like you've got some strong arms there, guys!
0:26:37 > 0:26:42This is the tricky one. The balance beam. Only ten centimetres wide.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44so they have to concentrate.
0:26:47 > 0:26:49Keep your arms out like an aeroplane.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Keep your arms out, Konor.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Are you ready?
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Steady, go!
0:26:57 > 0:26:58Bend legs. Good.
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Some careful footwork there, Megan...
0:27:08 > 0:27:10Good. Well done.
0:27:10 > 0:27:11..and a perfect landing.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Good, well done.
0:27:13 > 0:27:17And the roly-poly is even trickier.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Looks like we could have two future champions here.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27But today's not just about exercises,
0:27:27 > 0:27:29they're here to do some maths.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32And one of the British Olympic gymnastics team has taken a break
0:27:32 > 0:27:37in his training to give them their 3, 2, 1, Go! challenge.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40And he likes to make an entrance.
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Hi, guys. How you doing?
0:27:44 > 0:27:46- What's your name?- Konor.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Hi, Konor, you all right? Daniel. Hi, what's your name?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51- Megan.- Hi, I'm Daniel.
0:27:53 > 0:27:59Daniel Purvis became the world number one Men's Artistic Gymnast in 2011.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12He's been the British All-round Gymnastics Champion twice.
0:28:12 > 0:28:14He won gold in the World Cup.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18And also got gold in the 2012 Test Event.
0:28:21 > 0:28:23So do you guys do gymnastics?
0:28:23 > 0:28:26- Yes.- Yeah? What's your favourite piece?
0:28:26 > 0:28:27The high beam.
0:28:27 > 0:28:29The high beam, yeah? What about yourself, Megan?
0:28:29 > 0:28:32- The high beam.- High beam, yeah?
0:28:32 > 0:28:36- What's your favourite? - My favourite? The high bar.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Because it's quite exciting.
0:28:38 > 0:28:41It's quite high off the ground so it's definitely my favourite.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46Yes, yes, I know you like being up high, Daniel,
0:28:46 > 0:28:50but can you come down now, please, and give them their challenge?
0:28:51 > 0:28:53This is your challenge for today, guys.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55The clean shapes and lines my body makes
0:28:55 > 0:28:57are how I score points in gymnastics.
0:28:57 > 0:29:00Take pictures of my routines and see what shapes you can see.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02OK? Three, two, one, go!
0:29:02 > 0:29:07So, Megan and Konor have been given a shape-finding challenge.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10They must take pictures of Daniel's routine,
0:29:10 > 0:29:14and see what shapes and lines his body makes.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18Is that in focus, Konor? Oh, yeah, nice shot.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25CAMERA CLICKS
0:29:29 > 0:29:31Hold it, Daniel.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33A bit longer.
0:29:33 > 0:29:36- CAMERA CLICKS - Perfect, Megan.
0:29:36 > 0:29:38Whoops.
0:29:40 > 0:29:42They're like the mini paparazzi.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53Right, they've got their pictures and somewhere amongst them
0:29:53 > 0:29:55are some shapes to be found.
0:29:59 > 0:30:03They've got their pens and now the detective work starts.
0:30:03 > 0:30:05Can you see any shapes, Konor?
0:30:05 > 0:30:07I can see a triangle.
0:30:07 > 0:30:12Well spotted, his arms make a triangle with the floor.
0:30:12 > 0:30:13How about you, Megan?
0:30:13 > 0:30:15I can see a circle.
0:30:15 > 0:30:20Gymnasts have to make perfect shapes with their body to win points...
0:30:20 > 0:30:27- I can see a semi-circle. - ..so knowing all the shapes is very important.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29I can see a triangle.
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Ah, another triangle hiding in the pictures.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37It looks like they're really getting the hang of this.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38I can see a rectangle.
0:30:38 > 0:30:41When you start looking for shapes
0:30:41 > 0:30:43it's surprising how many you can find.
0:30:47 > 0:30:49- Can you see any circles?- Yeah.
0:30:54 > 0:30:56And Megan has also found a straight line.
0:31:01 > 0:31:05It looks like they've found all the shapes they can see.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09So what did you find, guys?
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Three triangles.
0:31:16 > 0:31:19Two circles.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22One rectangle.
0:31:26 > 0:31:28One semi-circle.
0:31:29 > 0:31:31One line.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36I think we've finished our challenge.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38They did brilliantly. Who would have thought
0:31:38 > 0:31:40they could have seen all those shapes in Daniel's routine?
0:31:40 > 0:31:44In his first handstand, they found two triangles.
0:31:44 > 0:31:45In his tuck, two circles.
0:31:45 > 0:31:49In his second handstand, a triangle, a rectangle and a straight line.
0:31:49 > 0:31:54And in his last, a more unusual shape - a semi-circle.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Konor and Megan have completed their Three, Two, One, Go challenge.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01And Daniel Purvis has got their prizes.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03Well done today, guys. Great job.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Here you go, Konor, here's your certificate. Well done.
0:32:06 > 0:32:11- Thank you.- And well done, Megan. Great job.- Thank you.
0:32:11 > 0:32:13And we've got medals as well.
0:32:13 > 0:32:16- Congratulations, Konor.- Thank you.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20- Congratulations, Megan.- Thank you.
0:32:20 > 0:32:22Great job, guys.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Now your teacher has a challenge for you. Three, two, one, go!
0:32:32 > 0:32:37Right, so far we saw that distance is important in rugby
0:32:37 > 0:32:40because knowing how far you can throw the ball
0:32:40 > 0:32:44can mean the difference between making the pass
0:32:44 > 0:32:46and losing possession.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49And when you're measuring a distance,
0:32:49 > 0:32:52you need to keep the tape measure straight.
0:32:52 > 0:32:55Three metres, 90 centimetres.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Nice one, lads.
0:32:58 > 0:33:02And the boys were great at comparing the distances of their five throws
0:33:02 > 0:33:05to work out which was the longest.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- So the biggest is seven metres. - OK, yep.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15So they completed their challenge with flying colours.
0:33:15 > 0:33:20There you go, mate. There's your certificate and medal.
0:33:21 > 0:33:25We've also seen that knowing how many oars you're supposed to have
0:33:25 > 0:33:27is very important in rowing.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Well, I suppose that's obvious.
0:33:29 > 0:33:32But working it out by multiplication in super-speedy time
0:33:32 > 0:33:36was no problem for Lauchlan and Morgan.
0:33:36 > 0:33:432 x 4 = 8
0:33:45 > 0:33:48And they made sure they checked their answer...
0:33:53 > 0:33:55..to win their gold medals
0:33:57 > 0:33:59There we go. Good job.
0:34:05 > 0:34:10Then gymnastics fans Megan and Konor found out that you need strength,
0:34:10 > 0:34:13coordination and balance for gymnastics.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17But also that a floor routine
0:34:17 > 0:34:21contains all sorts of different shapes.
0:34:21 > 0:34:24And they were brilliant at spotting them.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26I can see a triangle.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32Congratulations, Konor.
0:34:32 > 0:34:33Congratulations, Megan.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Coming up, two cycling fans get to see where some cyclists
0:34:40 > 0:34:44are preparing for this year's Olympics...
0:34:44 > 0:34:49- Ah, cool.- Is that where they cycle? - Yeah, and this is the track.
0:34:49 > 0:34:51..and get to work out which of the athletes
0:34:51 > 0:34:53goes the fastest round the track.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56- Stop!- 12.
0:35:00 > 0:35:05And two Arsenal fans get to meet their heroes.
0:35:05 > 0:35:08- Hi.- Hello.- I'm Tomas.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15..before stepping up to the penalty spot for a scoring challenge.
0:35:15 > 0:35:18So, are you ready?
0:35:23 > 0:35:31Sports people must be fast, strong and deadly accurate.
0:35:32 > 0:35:36But did you know they wouldn't be able to compete without maths?
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Timekeeping,
0:35:40 > 0:35:42scoring,
0:35:42 > 0:35:44speed,
0:35:44 > 0:35:46shape,
0:35:46 > 0:35:49distance - it's all mathematics.
0:35:49 > 0:35:53A tenth of a second or just a few millimetres
0:35:53 > 0:35:57can transform an ordinary person into a world champion.
0:35:57 > 0:36:00Great Britain gets the gold.
0:36:01 > 0:36:03- This is... - ..Three, Two, One...- ..Go.
0:36:03 > 0:36:06We take teams to a secret location...
0:36:06 > 0:36:08This really is a special place.
0:36:11 > 0:36:12This is fabulous.
0:36:12 > 0:36:15..to be given a behind-the-scenes tour...
0:36:17 > 0:36:20..and meet their sporting heroes...
0:36:20 > 0:36:25- Hi, Jack, nice to meet you. - ..who'll give them a maths challenge.
0:36:25 > 0:36:29Three, two, one, go!
0:36:29 > 0:36:31- Go!- Go!
0:36:31 > 0:36:34And if they get it right...
0:36:34 > 0:36:3517!
0:36:36 > 0:36:40One, two, three, four...
0:36:40 > 0:36:44Probability suggests that he'll dive to the bottom-right corner.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46..they win a gold medal.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50This challenge is all about cycling.
0:36:54 > 0:36:59Track cycling takes place in specially built velodromes.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02They are made up of two 180-degree circular bends
0:37:02 > 0:37:04connected by two straights.
0:37:04 > 0:37:08Cyclists race at speeds of up to 80kmph
0:37:08 > 0:37:10on specially designed bikes with no brakes.
0:37:10 > 0:37:12So, are you ready?
0:37:18 > 0:37:21Today, cycling fans Angel and Mabel
0:37:21 > 0:37:25are being taken to a secret location in the city of Manchester
0:37:25 > 0:37:29to complete their Three, Two, One, Go challenge.
0:37:29 > 0:37:31And they both love one thing...
0:37:32 > 0:37:34Cycling.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36OK, it feels...
0:37:36 > 0:37:39it feels like you're going to fall off that bike,
0:37:39 > 0:37:43but, suddenly you don't fall off it.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45Angel is mad about cycling.
0:37:48 > 0:37:49She is six years old
0:37:49 > 0:37:53and was given her first bike by her uncle when she was three.
0:37:53 > 0:37:57She likes to go out on her bike with her dad and her sister.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00So, do you watch the Olympics, girls?
0:38:00 > 0:38:01Yeah.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06- I don't get tickets, I just watch it on TV.- Me too.
0:38:06 > 0:38:09Let me guess which events you like.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13- Ooh!- Cycling!- Me too. Cycling.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16Mabel is crazy about cycling too.
0:38:16 > 0:38:20She is five years old. Her dad taught her to ride two years ago
0:38:20 > 0:38:22and there is no stopping her now
0:38:22 > 0:38:24because she cycles to school most days.
0:38:25 > 0:38:29Ah, it looks like they might have seen where they're heading.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34This is the National Cycling Centre in Manchester
0:38:34 > 0:38:38and it was Britain's first indoor Olympic cycling track.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42A cycle arena is called a velodrome.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46And this one is where members of the Great Britain Olympic team
0:38:46 > 0:38:47are training.
0:38:51 > 0:38:53This is where the girls are going to be given
0:38:53 > 0:38:55their Three, Two, One, Go challenge.
0:38:55 > 0:38:58It looks a little different to what I was thinking.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01Hi, guys, do you want to come in,
0:39:01 > 0:39:04have a look around the National Cycling Centre?
0:39:04 > 0:39:10The girls are being given a special tour of the velodrome.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13And they've noticed some bikes parked in some strange places.
0:39:13 > 0:39:18- How do get them bikes up there? - Yeah...how did you?
0:39:18 > 0:39:21We had to get a ladder and put it up there.
0:39:21 > 0:39:25And they're just about to see the track for the first time.
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- Ah, cool. - Is that where they cycle?
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- Yeah, and this is the track. - Can we watch?
0:39:31 > 0:39:34Yeah, you can go and have a look.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37And these bikes have something different about them.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42You see these bikes? They've got no brakes on them.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44- Do they have to stop it with their foot?- Yeah.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47No brakes! Are you joking?
0:39:47 > 0:39:49Got no brakes!
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- What do you think of the track? - Cool!
0:39:55 > 0:39:59The track is where the Olympic athletes practise
0:39:59 > 0:40:03but right next to it are some rather unusual bikes.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06- Are they exercise bikes?- Yeah. - Can we try them?
0:40:06 > 0:40:09Yeah, you can sit on them and have a go.
0:40:09 > 0:40:14This is where the athletes can practise without moving an inch.
0:40:15 > 0:40:19That's it, and then jump up onto that.
0:40:19 > 0:40:23- I can't reach the other foot. - Me too.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Come on, pedal hard, girls!
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Go on, let's see your legs. That's it.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31I'm going to fall off.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33The Manchester Velodrome
0:40:33 > 0:40:36is where some of the best cyclists in the world train.
0:40:38 > 0:40:42And finally the girls get right to the centre of the action.
0:40:44 > 0:40:48And today, a world champion has taken a break in her training
0:40:48 > 0:40:51to give the girls their challenge.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54Hello, good morning! My name's Sarah, what's your name?
0:40:54 > 0:40:56- Angel.- Hello, Angel, and your name?
0:40:56 > 0:40:59- Mabel.- So are you into your cycling?
0:40:59 > 0:41:04Sarah Storey is World Champion in Para-Cycling.
0:41:04 > 0:41:08She has competed at no less than five Paralympic games
0:41:08 > 0:41:13where she has won 18 Medals and she has an incredible 71 world records.
0:41:16 > 0:41:19And Sarah has brought a few of her World Championship medals
0:41:19 > 0:41:21to show them.
0:41:21 > 0:41:22Shall I show you what I won last weekend?
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Wow.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28There's two gold medals and a silver medal there.
0:41:28 > 0:41:32Want to have a feel? There you go.
0:41:32 > 0:41:35So this one was for doing 12 laps of the track.
0:41:35 > 0:41:38This one was for doing two laps of the track.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43And this one was for riding in the team sprint.
0:41:43 > 0:41:45And I had to ride with two boys
0:41:45 > 0:41:47cos some of the other boys weren't quick enough.
0:41:47 > 0:41:49Beat them. Do you like that?
0:41:49 > 0:41:53Have you beaten any of the boys when you've been riding on your bike?
0:41:53 > 0:41:55I have. I beat my cousin.
0:41:57 > 0:41:59Now, Sarah's got their Three, Two, One, Go challenge.
0:41:59 > 0:42:02OK, girls, I've got your challenge here.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Are you ready? Listen very carefully.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Winning a cycling race depends on speed.
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Time how fast four of my team-mates can complete a lap
0:42:11 > 0:42:18and work out who was the fastest. Three, two, one, go!
0:42:20 > 0:42:23So the girls have been given a timing challenge.
0:42:23 > 0:42:25They need to measure how quickly
0:42:25 > 0:42:28four cyclists make it round the track.
0:42:29 > 0:42:34Today the team are training behind their coach on a motorbike.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37They've got to be fast to keep up with that!
0:42:37 > 0:42:39But how are you going to time them, girls?
0:42:39 > 0:42:42So, Mabel, you're going to get the timer,
0:42:42 > 0:42:44I'm going to get the pen.
0:42:44 > 0:42:45Good idea, Angel.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48A stopwatch is a good way of measuring time.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50They have to start the stopwatch
0:42:50 > 0:42:53when the first cyclist crosses the white line.
0:42:53 > 0:42:55So...
0:42:55 > 0:42:57Ready?
0:42:57 > 0:43:01Yep! We need to wait for a second.
0:43:03 > 0:43:06- Aaaaaand...go! - Time!
0:43:12 > 0:43:13Aaaaand...stop!
0:43:14 > 0:43:16How many seconds was that, Mabel?
0:43:16 > 0:43:21- 17!- Now they need to write down their first result.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27And now for the second cyclist.
0:43:27 > 0:43:28Go!
0:43:28 > 0:43:31Timing is very important in cycling.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35When they're training, it helps to know if they're getting faster.
0:43:35 > 0:43:3926.
0:43:39 > 0:43:42That's two down, just two to go.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45Here comes the third rider, he looks pretty fast.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51In a race, just one second could be the difference between winning...
0:43:51 > 0:43:5312!
0:43:53 > 0:43:54..and losing.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58And the fourth and final cyclist...
0:44:06 > 0:44:09- Stop!- 19!
0:44:09 > 0:44:12Good effort, girls. So now they've got their four measurements,
0:44:12 > 0:44:14some of them were pretty fast.
0:44:16 > 0:44:20The first cyclist completed their lap in 17 seconds.
0:44:20 > 0:44:22The second took 26 seconds.
0:44:22 > 0:44:25The third cyclist took 12 seconds.
0:44:25 > 0:44:28And the fourth took 19 seconds.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32They now have to work out which was the fastest.
0:44:32 > 0:44:35So, which one was it, girls?
0:44:35 > 0:44:36- 12, Mabel.- Right!
0:44:36 > 0:44:39Looks like they've got it right.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43The third lap was a super-speedy 12 seconds. Incredible!
0:44:43 > 0:44:45How fast was it again?
0:44:45 > 0:44:4712 seconds!
0:44:48 > 0:44:53The girls have completed their 3, 2, 1, Go challenge,
0:44:53 > 0:44:57And world champion cyclist Sarah Storey has got their prizes.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01Well done, Angel and Mabel, you were amazing!
0:45:01 > 0:45:03I didn't realise how clever you were.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05So I want to shake your hand.
0:45:05 > 0:45:07Congratulations, there's your certificate.
0:45:07 > 0:45:11And yours, congratulations, there's your certificate as well.
0:45:11 > 0:45:13And don't go away because I've got two medals for you as well.
0:45:13 > 0:45:15And these are a little bit bigger than mine,
0:45:15 > 0:45:18so I want you to hang them on your wall,
0:45:18 > 0:45:22then you'll remember all about today that you spent at the velodrome, OK?
0:45:22 > 0:45:24Congratulations!
0:45:24 > 0:45:26You're not going to forget today are you?
0:45:26 > 0:45:29There we go. Give yourselves a round of applause.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31Brilliant job, girls!
0:45:33 > 0:45:36OK. Now your teacher has a challenge for you.
0:45:36 > 0:45:383, 2, 1, go!
0:45:42 > 0:45:45Sportspeople must be fast...
0:45:45 > 0:45:47strong...
0:45:47 > 0:45:50and deadly accurate.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55But did you know they wouldn't be able to compete without maths?
0:45:56 > 0:45:58Time-keeping.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Scoring.
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Speed.
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Shape.
0:46:05 > 0:46:06Distance.
0:46:06 > 0:46:08It's all mathematics.
0:46:08 > 0:46:12A 10th of a second, or just a few millimetres can transform
0:46:12 > 0:46:16an ordinary person into a world champion.
0:46:16 > 0:46:19'Great Britain get the gold.'
0:46:19 > 0:46:21This is...
0:46:21 > 0:46:22- 3, 2, 1...- Go!
0:46:22 > 0:46:25We take teams to a secret location...
0:46:25 > 0:46:27This really is a special place.
0:46:30 > 0:46:31Fabulous.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34..to be given a behind-the-scenes tour.
0:46:34 > 0:46:36SCREAMING
0:46:36 > 0:46:39..and meet their sporting heroes...
0:46:39 > 0:46:40Hi, Jack, nice to meet you.
0:46:42 > 0:46:44..who'll give them a maths challenge.
0:46:44 > 0:46:483, 2, 1, go!
0:46:48 > 0:46:49Go!
0:46:49 > 0:46:50Go!
0:46:50 > 0:46:53And if they get it right...
0:46:53 > 0:46:5417!
0:46:54 > 0:46:59One, two, three, four.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00Former ability suggests...
0:47:00 > 0:47:03he'll dive to the bottom-right corner.
0:47:03 > 0:47:05..they win a gold medal.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10This challenge is all about football.
0:47:12 > 0:47:15Football is played on a rectangular grass pitch,
0:47:15 > 0:47:19up to 120 metres long and 90 metres wide.
0:47:19 > 0:47:21Two teams of 11-a-side kick a round ball
0:47:21 > 0:47:24into a goal on the opposite team's half.
0:47:26 > 0:47:28Only one player from each team can handle the ball,
0:47:28 > 0:47:30but only in the penalty box.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33The games last for 90 minutes
0:47:33 > 0:47:35and the team with the most goals wins.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37So, are you ready?
0:47:37 > 0:47:403, 2, 1, Go!
0:47:41 > 0:47:47Today, football fans Orla and Mia are being taken to a secret location
0:47:47 > 0:47:50to complete their 3, 2, 1, Go challenge.
0:47:51 > 0:47:55They've both just started playing football
0:47:55 > 0:47:57but Mia's is still waiting for her first win.
0:47:57 > 0:48:00The other team had ten matches,
0:48:00 > 0:48:04so we lost because that was our first match.
0:48:04 > 0:48:08Mia Plays football every week.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10She is seven years old.
0:48:10 > 0:48:11There isn't a girls' club near her,
0:48:11 > 0:48:13so she plays for Garston Boys,
0:48:13 > 0:48:16where she goes to train every Saturday.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20And both girls are die-hard supporters of one club.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23- Arsenal.- Yes.
0:48:23 > 0:48:28Orla plays football every day. She is six years old.
0:48:28 > 0:48:34She specialises in penalty shootouts and has a mean left foot.
0:48:34 > 0:48:36And although her dad supports Tottenham, she supports Arsenal.
0:48:36 > 0:48:41Because...they're a good team.
0:48:41 > 0:48:44They ARE a good team, Orla.
0:48:44 > 0:48:47In fact, they're one of the most successful British clubs,
0:48:47 > 0:48:50winning 13 First Division and Premier League titles,
0:48:50 > 0:48:52two League Cups
0:48:52 > 0:48:56and no less than ten FA cups!
0:48:58 > 0:49:00The girls have just spotted where they're going.
0:49:00 > 0:49:04It looks like an Arsenal stadium.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07You're not too wrong, Mia.
0:49:07 > 0:49:08Oh, hee-hee!
0:49:12 > 0:49:15This is where Premier League side Arsenal train.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17With ten full-size pitches,
0:49:17 > 0:49:20each to the exact specification of their home stadium,
0:49:20 > 0:49:23they come here to prepare for all their major matches.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28But today the pitches are covered in snow, so they're training indoors.
0:49:32 > 0:49:34Well, sort of...
0:49:34 > 0:49:36It's a top-secret location
0:49:36 > 0:49:38and usually only the players are allowed in.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42Hi, girls, welcome to Arsenal. These are for you.
0:49:42 > 0:49:44Come this way.
0:49:44 > 0:49:48But today, Mia and Orla are going to be given special access.
0:49:50 > 0:49:51(An Arsenal player!)
0:49:53 > 0:49:55I've just seen an Arsenal player.
0:49:55 > 0:49:59This place is full of Arsenal players!
0:49:59 > 0:50:02Training today are Thierry Henry and Johan Djourou.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07And there's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain playing table tennis.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11And one of the top players has taken a break
0:50:11 > 0:50:14to come to give them their 3, 2, 1, Go challenge.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16- Hi.- Hello.- Hi, I'm Tomas.
0:50:16 > 0:50:18How are you doing?
0:50:18 > 0:50:23Tomas Rosicky has played for Arsenal since 2006.
0:50:23 > 0:50:28He's a midfielder and he has also captained the Czech national team.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30He's been nicknamed "Little Mozart"
0:50:30 > 0:50:33for his amazing orchestration on the pitch.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37And it's rumoured that he was bought by Arsenal for £7 million.
0:50:39 > 0:50:42- Hello. What's your name? - Orla.- And you?
0:50:42 > 0:50:44- Mia.- Perfect.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47What's your favourite subject at school?
0:50:47 > 0:50:48My favourite subject?
0:50:48 > 0:50:49You know, I was, er...
0:50:50 > 0:50:54It sounds maybe weird, but I like to learn German, you know?
0:50:54 > 0:50:55Gym?
0:50:55 > 0:50:57- German! - LAUGHS
0:50:57 > 0:51:02What's your favourite part in football?
0:51:02 > 0:51:05Favourite part? Just the game itself,
0:51:05 > 0:51:08I think it's a lot of fun to play football.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Are you playing sometimes?
0:51:11 > 0:51:12Yes? Are you enjoying that?
0:51:12 > 0:51:15OK, that's good.
0:51:15 > 0:51:18OK, enough idle chit-chat. Time for their 3, 2, 1, Go challenge.
0:51:18 > 0:51:21The match is won by the team that scores most goals.
0:51:21 > 0:51:23You have 10 shots at goal.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26Add up how many you score. 3, 2, 1, go!
0:51:28 > 0:51:31So the girls have been given their scoring challenge.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34But first, the outside pitch has to be cleared of snow.
0:51:35 > 0:51:37Keep warm, girls.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43Now, the girls are up against the 3, 2, 1, Go goalie.
0:51:43 > 0:51:48Nicknamed "Two gloves", because he has...two gloves.
0:51:48 > 0:51:51And he doesn't like to be beaten. Feeling lucky, girls?
0:51:51 > 0:51:54Right, we'd better score some penalties.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56Now, they have 10 shots at goal.
0:51:56 > 0:51:593, 2, 1, go!
0:51:59 > 0:52:02Looks like Orla is up first.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Here she comes, with her strong left foot...
0:52:04 > 0:52:07And it's a goal! She's got one past the goalie already.
0:52:09 > 0:52:12When you've finished celebrating, Orla, there's work to be done.
0:52:12 > 0:52:17Now she has to mark whether it was a goal or a save on the board,
0:52:17 > 0:52:20so they can add up how many they scored at the end.
0:52:20 > 0:52:22Next up is Mia.
0:52:22 > 0:52:24Which way is she going?
0:52:24 > 0:52:26She goes to her left.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28And Two Gloves has saved it!
0:52:28 > 0:52:30Oh, he got it.
0:52:31 > 0:52:32Oh, man!
0:52:32 > 0:52:34Keep your cool, Mia.
0:52:34 > 0:52:38Cool heads. Don't forget to mark it on the table.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42Orla for the third shot.
0:52:42 > 0:52:45Go on, girl.
0:52:47 > 0:52:51Two out of two! Another goal! She's on fire!
0:52:57 > 0:53:01It's important to keep track of how many goals have been scored
0:53:01 > 0:53:04so you know who is winning the match.
0:53:04 > 0:53:07Here comes Mia again, shot number four.
0:53:07 > 0:53:10And Two Gloves has saved it again!
0:53:12 > 0:53:13Let's go back to the board
0:53:13 > 0:53:15and it's evening up.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Organising their results like this
0:53:18 > 0:53:21will help them remember how many penalties they've taken,
0:53:21 > 0:53:23and how many of those they scored.
0:53:23 > 0:53:25Here's the fifth shot.
0:53:25 > 0:53:29Back of the net. And Two Gloves is NOT happy.
0:53:34 > 0:53:36The girls are edging ahead.
0:53:37 > 0:53:42Here's Mia with the next shot, she goes to her right.
0:53:42 > 0:53:44Two Gloves got his whole body behind that one.
0:53:44 > 0:53:46Bad luck, Mia.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50The results have evened up. This could go either way.
0:53:53 > 0:53:56Orla's up again for the seventh penalty.
0:53:56 > 0:53:59Oh! Two Gloves is on a roll. He's saved another one.
0:53:59 > 0:54:03Look how happy he is! He's ahead now.
0:54:06 > 0:54:10Come on, Mia! The girls need this one. She shoots and she scores!
0:54:10 > 0:54:14And a great celebration too. Good effort, Mia.
0:54:16 > 0:54:19And we're all even again, just two shots left.
0:54:19 > 0:54:21Can the girls hold their nerve?
0:54:22 > 0:54:25Oh, yes, they can. Straight past Two Gloves.
0:54:25 > 0:54:28The girls are now in front.
0:54:28 > 0:54:31One penalty left. This is the final penalty.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33The pressure's on for Mia.
0:54:33 > 0:54:37Miss this, and Two Gloves evens the score,
0:54:37 > 0:54:40but if she scores, the girls win.
0:54:40 > 0:54:41Here we go.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48Oh! Take that, Two Gloves.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52Not much power, but right in the bottom corner.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56The girls both go home heroes.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00Now they've taken all their penalties, they have to work out
0:55:00 > 0:55:04how many they missed and how many they scored.
0:55:04 > 0:55:06The first shot was a goal.
0:55:06 > 0:55:08The second was a save.
0:55:08 > 0:55:09The third was a goal
0:55:09 > 0:55:11and the fourth was a save.
0:55:11 > 0:55:15The fifth was another goal and the sixth was another save,
0:55:15 > 0:55:17evening things up.
0:55:17 > 0:55:18Then the seventh was a save,
0:55:18 > 0:55:22but the eighth was a goal, making things even again.
0:55:22 > 0:55:26Then the ninth was a goal and so was the tenth.
0:55:27 > 0:55:31So, how many of the ten shots were saved, girls?
0:55:31 > 0:55:34One, two, three, four.
0:55:44 > 0:55:45That's right, four were saved.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48And how many did you score?

0:56:57 > 0:57:00So, now we've seen that measuring time in cycling
0:57:00 > 0:57:04helps the athletes know if they're getting faster in their training.
0:57:07 > 0:57:10Because in a race, just one second could be the difference
0:57:10 > 0:57:12between winning and losing.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17And as Mabel and Angel proved,
0:57:17 > 0:57:19to measure them accurately,
0:57:19 > 0:57:19you need a stopwatch...
0:57:21 > 0:57:24And go!

0:58:01 > 0:58:03to undertake their challenge.
