:01:22. > :01:26.to Inverness. We can see where it is right now. Now, it is somewhere
:01:26. > :01:31.round about Clydebank. It has been passed over to the next person, so
:01:31. > :01:37.some body is about to set off for their part of the journey. What a
:01:37. > :01:40.moment. He looks really excited. If you recognise him, get out there
:01:40. > :01:44.and have a look at the Olympic torch it because you might not have
:01:44. > :01:51.a chance again. That's true and we will be catching up with it later
:01:51. > :01:58.on. Let's speak to these children. They are excited about the Olympics.
:01:58. > :02:04.What are you excited about? Football. I'm excited about the
:02:04. > :02:09.world distance running. Do you do any of that yourself? Yes. Depends

:02:34. > :02:42.Horrible Histories sketches. we're joined by our good friend and
:02:42. > :02:47.Olympics fanatic, Newsround's Ore Oduba. He looks so good in a
:02:47. > :02:49.sparkly jacket, doesn't he? doesn't? Now, each week we've been
:02:49. > :02:53.sending a crack team of local children out and about following
:02:53. > :02:57.the Olympic Torch Relay. So it is time to go over to Louise from BBC
:02:57. > :03:06.News School Report to tell us what has been going on during the last
:03:06. > :03:10.seven days. Hello. Welcome to Dumbarton it. Over the last week
:03:10. > :03:13.the torch has travelled from Liverpool to the Isle of Man around
:03:13. > :03:17.Northern Ireland and Dublin and ended up in Glasgow. Last Saturday
:03:18. > :03:23.it came to the Isle of Man and was carried on the back of a motorbike.
:03:23. > :03:26.In the next couple of days, it travelled to the top landmarks of
:03:27. > :03:31.Northern Ireland including the Giants Causeway. On Wednesday, the
:03:31. > :03:41.Olympic flame across the Irish border and made a historic trip to

:03:45. > :03:50.Dublin where it was carried by Jedward. A on Thursday it ended up
:03:50. > :04:00.in Glasgow to jubilant crowds. We are going to show you some of our
:04:00. > :04:00.
:04:00. > :04:06.top spots. I'm here at a Dublin every nut there is a fantastic view.
:04:06. > :04:16.-- Dublin arena. There is a fantastic view. I like to hang out
:04:16. > :04:21.here, it's a cool thing to do, biking. And skating. Here Robert
:04:21. > :04:31.the Bruce and William Wallace hid here in the Scottish war of
:04:31. > :04:31.
:04:31. > :04:37.independence. Freedom! If you like what you see, come and visit.
:04:37. > :04:42.hear it for Louise, everybody. CHEERING Thank you very much for
:04:42. > :04:52.that. I love the freedom! Thank you very
:04:52. > :04:52.
:04:52. > :05:02.Up now it's time for today's guest. He is the host of Match Of The Day
:05:02. > :05:09.and CBeebies the's ultimate sports stars, it is Ore! Hello, Dumbarton,
:05:09. > :05:14.how are you doing? They like you. You watch all kinds of sports. Talk
:05:14. > :05:19.us through the Olympics. What are you looking forward to? I can't
:05:19. > :05:23.wait. Look at my face. It's an excited face. It's going to be
:05:23. > :05:28.incredible. We have seen the torch go through all the cities and towns,
:05:28. > :05:32.but when the Olympics actually starts, it's going to be off the
:05:32. > :05:38.chart. I'm looking forward to all the sports, but obviously everybody
:05:38. > :05:42.is looking forward to the athletics, seeing it Usain Bolt striking again
:05:42. > :05:47.in London. Personally, I'm looking forward to the hockey because I
:05:47. > :05:55.used to be quite good. We know this because we have a sneaky picture of
:05:55. > :06:01.you in your hockey outfit. There he is. Where is he? Is that really
:06:01. > :06:08.you? The question you want to ask, why did they want to hide my face?
:06:08. > :06:13.What was so horrible about it? you still play hockey? No, I'm a
:06:13. > :06:20.really bad now. I used to play with a lot of the team to the players
:06:20. > :06:22.now. But I'm not any good. That Team GB players or the a lot of
:06:22. > :06:27.people will be excited mother track and field because there are some
:06:27. > :06:34.big stars out there. One that person is Phillips Idowu, triple
:06:34. > :06:42.jumping legend and here is the man himself with the Event Guide.
:06:42. > :06:45.I am a Phillips Idowu. You have made my day. There's only one more
:06:45. > :06:51.thing I want to be awarded this year and I guess you can figure it
:06:51. > :06:54.out. He is Great Britain's best triple jumper and his equally
:06:54. > :06:59.famous for the colour of his hair as his fantastic sporting
:07:00. > :07:05.achievements. I can't wait to compete up. Here is your Blue Peter
:07:05. > :07:12.guide to Olympic triple jumping. It's an amazing sight. It looks
:07:12. > :07:16.like you are flying. I like to think so. In Olympic competition,
:07:16. > :07:21.all athletes who can jump a pre-set distance in the qualifying round go
:07:21. > :07:25.through to the final. The two finalists then get three jumps. The
:07:25. > :07:35.top eight get through more attempts with the longest single jump taking
:07:35. > :07:35.
:07:35. > :07:38.the gold medal. The perfect a triple jump is very important. You
:07:38. > :07:43.are degenerate speed as you approach the board. The next thing
:07:43. > :07:49.is to be accurate on the board of. You want to make sure you step on
:07:49. > :07:54.it without stepping over. You want to maintain as much speed as
:07:54. > :07:59.possible. Then we have the step. You have the land as comfortably as
:07:59. > :08:09.possible with as much control as possible so you can give it
:08:09. > :08:10.
:08:10. > :08:14.When you land in that sandpit, you know whether it is a good jump or
:08:14. > :08:20.not. You want the noise in the stadium. You want the crowd behind
:08:20. > :08:30.you. I want them to be watching me when I am going, basically! Keep
:08:30. > :08:31.
:08:31. > :08:37.them focused on you. It is big! Oh, yes! Triple jump is quite a tough
:08:37. > :08:42.event on the body. You stretch your body quite a lot. One of my
:08:42. > :08:46.conditioning exercises will be using a sledgehammer. And I beat up
:08:46. > :08:56.a stack of tyres. That is a good exercise because it helps my back
:08:56. > :08:56.
:08:56. > :09:02.strength. The key secret to my success, my coach. Secondly, the
:09:02. > :09:05.hard work that I put in. And thirdly, I think nutrition. That is
:09:05. > :09:15.where focus and dedication come in. As soon as I have finished
:09:15. > :09:20.competing I will be eating burgers and drinking milkshakes! I think
:09:20. > :09:30.people are expecting me to go with the Union Jack, but we will have to
:09:30. > :09:34.
:09:34. > :09:39.I think he might go blonde. He has got to go for gold, hasn't he?
:09:39. > :09:44.had a go at the triple-jump. It's a lot more difficult than Phillips
:09:44. > :09:48.Idowu makes it look. If you let anywhere near Levengrove Park in a
:09:49. > :09:54.Dumbarton, come and see us. We will be here all day. There's loads of
:09:54. > :09:59.events you can have a go at. You could be a reporter like Ore. All
:09:59. > :10:03.the details are on the Blue Peter website. Barney is out and about
:10:03. > :10:07.finding out about the things you can have a go at. Yes, I am and, as
:10:07. > :10:12.always, it involves gadgets. You will see the Blue Peter studio
:10:12. > :10:17.stage at the back of the park. The top left-hand side, you will find
:10:17. > :10:21.this tent, the Sports Report area, where you can be a sports presenter.
:10:21. > :10:26.And you get used all the technology they use in the studio. This is
:10:26. > :10:29.known as a green screen. It's a bit of technical wizardry and I have a
:10:29. > :10:34.brilliant technician working with me today, David. The great thing
:10:34. > :10:37.about this, you can operate all of this. Usually reporters get to go
:10:37. > :10:43.to the actual event and report on it from there but we can't do that
:10:43. > :10:48.because we are not there. So we have to use this so, David, put us
:10:48. > :10:53.into the Olympic Stadium, please. There we go. As easy as that for
:10:53. > :11:00.that we have to interview the legend which is Sir Chris Hoy. What
:11:00. > :11:07.a man. Let's see what the fuss is COMMENTATOR: The world champion.
:11:07. > :11:11.Great Britain takes gold. Japan takes bronze. What a moment in
:11:11. > :11:16.history that was. David, we need to get to the Velodrome as quickly as
:11:16. > :11:24.possible, please. Please welcome Sir Chris Hoy.
:11:24. > :11:30.It is such a pleasure to have you here in the Velodrome. How much did
:11:30. > :11:36.that race feel great? I started off a bit slow and then I picked up the
:11:36. > :11:39.pace. And I just tried my best and I won. How does it feel to have the
:11:39. > :11:44.gold medal? It's been amazing because I had been working on it
:11:44. > :11:49.for years. It really is an amazing job you have. Can we talk about
:11:49. > :11:56.your hair? You have gone with a Union Jack. Will that help you to
:11:56. > :12:00.win the next race? I hope so. you want to come down to Levengrove
:12:00. > :12:10.Park, you could be your very own sports reporter. The thank you very
:12:10. > :12:12.much, Chris Hoy and Barney. Still to come on today's show.
:12:12. > :12:16.Horrible Histories team have a chariot race. Can Ore match Sir
:12:16. > :12:19.Steve Redgrave and Nicky Byrne by hitting the bell in our Test of
:12:19. > :12:24.Strength? And we'll be trying to emulate Phillips Idowu in Round 3
:12:24. > :12:27.of Blue Peter's Big Olympic Challenge. Now it's time for our
:12:27. > :12:31.weekly look at historic moments that have really shaped the Olympic
:12:31. > :12:35.Games. Usain Bolt might be dominating the 100m right now. But
:12:35. > :12:45.this week we are going all the way back to 1936 when one athlete
:12:45. > :12:47.
:12:47. > :12:51.ruined the hopes of one of the The 1936 Olympic Games were held in
:12:51. > :12:54.Berlin. At that times, three years before the Second World War, the
:12:54. > :13:04.country was under the control of one of the most notorious people in
:13:04. > :13:06.history. Adolf Hitler. He was the leader of the Nazi party and was
:13:06. > :13:10.clear he wanted white athletes to do better in the Games but there
:13:10. > :13:17.was one man who stood up to this. And shattered all of his Olympic
:13:17. > :13:21.dreams, the American, Jesse Owens. He competed in four different
:13:21. > :13:31.events that year and scooped the top prize for the 100 metres and
:13:31. > :13:38.
:13:38. > :13:44.I am very glad to have one at the Olympic Games here in Berlin. A
:13:44. > :13:49.beautiful place and a beautiful setting. I'm glad to come out on
:13:49. > :13:54.top. Thank you. Up next was the long jump where he was up against a
:13:54. > :14:03.German competitor, one of Hitler's favourite athletes but, but the
:14:03. > :14:08.American won it, picking up yet another gold medal. He went home
:14:08. > :14:12.with four gold medals from Berlin and in the process had a strong
:14:12. > :14:21.friendship with his German rival and proudly stood with him on the
:14:21. > :14:24.podium in front of Adolf Hitler. many stories, fantastic moment and
:14:24. > :14:28.Colin he is trying to track down every British gold medallist and
:14:28. > :14:33.you can hear his programme at 11am on Sunday morning for that tomorrow
:14:33. > :14:38.he will be talking to Daley Thompson and the fabulous Rebekah
:14:38. > :14:42.Addington. A little bit later on, we will be having a go at the
:14:42. > :14:47.triple jump. Phillips Idowu made it look easy earlier in the show.
:14:47. > :14:51.However it's not so easy. We are going back in time it to try out
:14:51. > :15:01.another jumping event. It is the standing long jump and it happened
:15:01. > :15:04.
:15:04. > :15:09.in the Olympics between 1919 12. If we talk about the record for
:15:09. > :15:14.this before we go any further, it was set in the 1960s by a Norwegian
:15:14. > :15:18.guy. He managed to jump three metres and 71 centimetres, which is
:15:19. > :15:22.the distance from the start of the mat to the flag. There is no run-up,
:15:23. > :15:29.it is a standing jump. We know that you are one big hunk of muscle, but
:15:29. > :15:36.do we think that Ore can do this? What do you think? Bad. Is that bad
:15:36. > :15:40.but you mean good? No. It means bad! Good. We have one bad and one
:15:40. > :15:44.good, which is the perfect mixture for television. Please take your
:15:44. > :15:54.position. Do it from line one because you are not going to get
:15:54. > :16:02.
:16:02. > :16:12.that far. Come on, guys! Ore, Ore, Ore! Three, two, one. He is an
:16:12. > :16:19.animal. You have jumped one metre and 90 centimetres. A round of
:16:19. > :16:25.applause for Ore. We always said that he had great thigh muscles.
:16:25. > :16:28.Who needs Chris Hoy!! Let's go back to Horrible Histories. They are
:16:28. > :16:34.going back to Roman times with the closest thing they had to Formula
:16:34. > :16:44.One. Enjoy the thrills and spills, but
:16:44. > :16:54.
:16:54. > :17:04.chiefly the spills, of chariot This is the most brutal and deadly
:17:04. > :17:07.
:17:07. > :17:17.race of all time. Please select your charioteer. You have made your
:17:17. > :17:17.
:17:17. > :17:22.selection. The Jews it in colour. - - choose your colour. Red is good
:17:22. > :17:29.but it does not show up your opponent's blood! Let the raised
:17:29. > :17:35.commence! Do you have what it takes to survive seven laps? He doesn't!
:17:35. > :17:40.Watch out for the falling charioteer. Watch out for the
:17:40. > :17:45.flying horse dung. Avoid the broken chariots known as shipwrecks. And
:17:45. > :17:52.if you crash, let go of the reins, but they are wrapped around your
:17:52. > :17:57.waist so you cannot! You win! live to raise another day, unlike
:17:57. > :18:05.my horse, who will be sacrificed to the gods. I shall miss you. I am
:18:05. > :18:13.not crying. It is fast, it is furious, it is chariot racing.
:18:13. > :18:18.away. I am not crying. I am not! do love Horrible Histories! We have
:18:18. > :18:27.seen how far he can jump. Now it is time to test his strength. We are
:18:27. > :18:32.training you to be an Olympic athlete. Can I be like Steve
:18:32. > :18:36.Redgrave? Hopefully! Steve Redgrave and Nicky Byrne have both hit the
:18:36. > :18:42.bell, so there is some pressure, but we think you can do it having
:18:42. > :18:52.seen you jump. Now everybody is my friend! It is hammered time. Let's
:18:52. > :18:54.
:18:54. > :19:02.count him down. Three, two, one! That was rubbish. You need to swing
:19:02. > :19:05.it more. That was 60. That was my first effort, right? You are wrong
:19:05. > :19:10.60 and we are all a little bit disappointed! What a shocker. But
:19:10. > :19:17.we still like you. Let's move on. Earlier we spoke to you about the
:19:17. > :19:27.torch being in Clydebank and it is now on its to wait to
:19:27. > :19:27.
:19:27. > :19:32.Dunbartonshire. Look how fast it is going! -- on its way to Dumbarton.
:19:32. > :19:37.That is Ore running! You want to sue the torch, so what are you
:19:37. > :19:47.going to do? We are going to go quickly, so we are running! What
:19:47. > :19:52.are you excited about at the Olympics? I am excited by the
:19:52. > :19:59.gymnastics. Let's see who is on our leaderboard as we hand over to Dan
:19:59. > :20:04.Walker. Welcome to the Blue Peter bigger Olympic Challenge. It is
:20:04. > :20:11.where we invite our friends to take part in nine Olympic events. At the
:20:11. > :20:16.end of it, one of them will stand on the podium with a Blue Peter
:20:16. > :20:21.gold medal. Laura Wright, not just a big singer. Brendan Cole, taking
:20:21. > :20:29.this as seriously as Strictly Come Dancing. Last week's winner, Adele.
:20:29. > :20:35.Mr consistent, it Romeo. And not forgetting these two, Helen and
:20:35. > :20:39.Barney. Wellcome, athletes. This is an event that requires pace,
:20:39. > :20:43.precision and explosive power. It is the triple jump and it is our
:20:43. > :20:49.third event. We need somebody that knows what they are talking about.
:20:49. > :20:54.It is one of our top jumping coaches! Can you tell them one
:20:54. > :20:59.thing to give them this extra centimetres? A good step. Most
:20:59. > :21:05.people do a very good hop and a little step. If you can just get
:21:05. > :21:10.that leg out, you have got it. are all yours! It sounds so simple,
:21:10. > :21:16.hop, step and jump, but not everybody finds it that easy.
:21:16. > :21:19.ridiculous what is going on behind him. It is so hard. I have just
:21:19. > :21:27.seen Helen Skelton doing little jumps. She has got a dock complex
:21:27. > :21:31.which I think the coach is worried about. -- duck complex. Her legs of
:21:31. > :21:39.flapping. There will be separate men and women's events. The rivalry
:21:39. > :21:45.seems to be hotting up. I am not very good at this. Laura has got a
:21:45. > :21:49.funny jump. Her hands are dead cute. I am really excited about triple
:21:49. > :21:53.jump. I think it will be good. The other girls are doing really well
:21:53. > :22:00.in training. The boys are finding out how much stress the body is put
:22:00. > :22:05.under, none more so than Barney, who looks to have tweaked something.
:22:05. > :22:09.That is so painful. This situation is fascinating. I find it quite
:22:09. > :22:13.hard to run. Don't move my leg. This is the moment when Olympic
:22:13. > :22:18.dreams can become a Olympic nightmares. I don't think he can do
:22:19. > :22:26.too well in this. I know how much that hurts. That is the face of
:22:26. > :22:33.pain. Is the baby coming out?! the out of the Olympics? He can do
:22:33. > :22:38.some stretching. This is where our athletes will start the triple jump
:22:38. > :22:42.journey. Then it is fast as they can down the runway. Down goes the
:22:42. > :22:46.lead but, making sure they do not go over the line, otherwise they
:22:46. > :22:50.get the red flag of doom. They want the white flag. Then you have to
:22:50. > :22:58.hop, taking off and landing on the same thought. The second one is the
:22:58. > :23:02.step, and the third one into the pit is the jump. The crowd goes
:23:02. > :23:06.wild, a new world record. Just like in Olympic competition, everybody
:23:06. > :23:16.is given three jobs, with their long as League One counting towards
:23:16. > :23:20.
:23:20. > :23:25.the final result. -- longest legal one. Helen struggled. She managed
:23:25. > :23:30.to do two with her feet over the line. This put pressure on her.
:23:30. > :23:36.is looking tense. She would be. It is a strong run up and she is using
:23:36. > :23:42.her arms, pumping away. It looks good, but is it? It is a white flag
:23:42. > :23:48.and it counts at last! Adele was next up and she really struggled
:23:48. > :23:53.with the technique. Three failures for her. And as for Laura, she was
:23:53. > :23:58.proving very consistent. Two really good jumps to start with and this

:24:03. > :24:12.good run up. She is building momentum. That is a whopper! Around
:24:12. > :24:17.eight metres. Is it better at than Helen's? I have the results here.
:24:17. > :24:23.The good news is that you get one point for finishing third, Adele,
:24:23. > :24:27.but you did not register a jump. With a jump of seven metres and 14
:24:27. > :24:33.centimetres it is Helen Skelton. That means that Laura, you win the
:24:33. > :24:39.women's competition. Eight metres 19 centimetres. Now it is the boys
:24:39. > :24:45.turn. Brendan Cole is getting the crowd going behind him. That will
:24:45. > :24:51.help. His run-up is good. He looks fierce. That is impressive. Good as
:24:51. > :25:01.me, that was impressive and he knows it! -- Guy Disney. Brendan

:25:01. > :25:05.recorded two more good chums but neither of them was quite as good.
:25:05. > :25:10.Barney's first job was good but the second was not. He had one more
:25:10. > :25:20.chance to improve. He will feel it now. Jumping despite injury. That
:25:20. > :25:26.is not bad. That is good, well done. Romeo left it to the wire with two
:25:26. > :25:31.failed jumps, leaving him one chance remaining. He has to get it
:25:31. > :25:36.right. His eyes, do they show frustration or determination? Third
:25:36. > :25:46.time lucky. That is not a bad effort and he gets the white flag.
:25:46. > :25:47.
:25:47. > :25:53.It was risky. Yes, mm to spare. Brendan, you were way out there. 10
:25:53. > :25:59.metres and 35 centimetres. That wins you top marks. Some tension
:25:59. > :26:05.here because we had two jumps. Romeo, you finished in second place
:26:05. > :26:13.with eight metres, 86 centimetres. Barney, injured, but eight metres
:26:13. > :26:21.12 centimetres is very good. Well done, everybody.
:26:21. > :26:26.I think it is fair to say that was not my finest sporting moment. I am
:26:26. > :26:33.sorry that I laughed when you got injured! How has it affected the
:26:33. > :26:41.leaderboard? Let's move on! At the moment Barney and Adele are not in
:26:41. > :26:50.line for a medal. I have got six points. Laura and Renault have got
:26:50. > :26:56.seven points. -- Romeo and. At the top of the table in gold medal
:26:56. > :27:01.position is Brendan Cole with eight points. Why are you cheering for
:27:01. > :27:07.him? He is not here and we are! It is early days and we have got lots
:27:07. > :27:13.more events to go. It could still change. You never know. We are back
:27:13. > :27:22.on Thursday at 5:45pm on the CBBC channel, when the Olympic torch
:27:23. > :27:29.continues. We will be following the torch and we will be joined by pop
:27:29. > :27:34.sensation Gemma Cowdrey. Olympic dreams continue. -- Joe
