0:10:07 > 0:10:11- It was a step from starting off - when I was 12 years old...
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- ..and I had posters on my wall.

0:10:18 > 0:10:20- I was nervous right at the start.

0:10:50 > 0:10:54- ..the experiences I've had - racing at the highest level.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03- You had a difficult season - last season when you had concussion.
0:11:04 > 0:11:07- Tell us more about it - and more about the season.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10- The first thing I'll say...
0:11:10 > 0:11:14- ..it was probably one of the - most difficult years of my life.
0:11:15 > 0:11:20- I started off in the World Cup - series in Fort William in Scotland.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- I had a knock on my head.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- I didn't know how serious - the concussion was.

0:11:30 > 0:11:33- I fell off my bike again. - After that I wasn't the same person.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37- It was too close to the last knock - and I became forgetful.
0:11:38 > 0:11:42- I felt down at times, - a lot of things weren't right.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45- It's take a long time - to get over it.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- Concussion has featured regularly - in the papers because of rugby...
0:11:50 > 0:11:54- ..but it's more difficult - to find that help in your sport...
0:11:55 > 0:11:57- ..because it's a lesser sport.
0:11:57 > 0:12:03- You don't have the structure that - exists in rugby or mainstream sport.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- The St John's Ambulance are there - and they do a great job...
0:12:08 > 0:12:12- ..but at the end of the day, people - need to be better educated about it.
0:12:12 > 0:12:19- It's a dangerous sport, - I'm testimony of what can happen.
0:12:19 > 0:12:23- Because it's an amateur sport, - there's less support.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26- Let's hope that changes with time.
0:12:26 > 0:12:32- You visited New Zealand. Can you - tell us what you were doing there?
0:12:32 > 0:12:37- I just went to have fun. Meinir - and I went there, as you can see.
0:12:37 > 0:12:41- We took our mountain bikes - and just had fun.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45- We had fun on our bikes, - travelled around in the car...
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- ..we just had a laugh.
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- I've never been to New Zealand - but the terrain is quite similar.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55- How do the bike courses compare?
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- They're similar - - the mountains are higher...
0:12:58 > 0:13:01- ..but they have an excellent - infrastructure.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04- These were the biggest jumps - I'd ever done in my life.
0:13:05 > 0:13:07- You could do those in Wales.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Everyone enjoys biking - in New Zealand.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15- It looks like a lot of fun. - Thanks for now.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- We'll have more of a chat later - about your new project.

0:13:51 > 0:13:54- First, Bedwas wanted to keep - the pressure on leaders Merthyr...

0:14:07 > 0:14:11- Gibson goes left. - The sun is shining here.

0:15:04 > 0:15:06- Warren in a spot of bother.
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- The kick won't find touch. - Maynard's under it.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Out to Worrall. - Worrall to scrum-half Gibson.
0:15:17 > 0:15:19- He slips but he's back on his feet.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12- That guarantees their bonus point.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- Lewis, out to centre Dom Franchi. - He's searching for his second try.
0:19:20 > 0:19:24- It would give Ebbw Vale hope - going into the final ten minutes.
0:19:25 > 0:19:28- They've already scored two tries.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- Out on the blind-side. - Has he scored?
0:19:33 > 0:19:37- No, I don't think so. Or has he?
0:19:38 > 0:19:41- From this angle, it looked as if - Williams had pushed him to touch...
0:19:41 > 0:19:45- ..but he'd grounded the ball.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48- A valuable bonus point - for Ebbw Vale in fourth place.

0:20:07 > 0:20:10- That was the question - as Swansea took on Cardiff Met...

0:23:50 > 0:23:54- I'm Ruby Wood. I'm 13 years old. - I live in Dinorwic.
0:23:54 > 0:23:56- I've been climbing - for as long as I can remember...

0:24:05 > 0:24:08- Climbing is an Olympic sport - in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13- There are three disciplines - - speed, sport and bouldering.
0:24:18 > 0:24:22- Speed is the first discipline. - It's a race against the clock.
0:24:23 > 0:24:27- Speed routes are the same - anywhere in the world.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- The speed record is 5.6 seconds.
0:24:30 > 0:24:34- My record is 23 seconds - which is very slow against that.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40- It's popular in Asia and Russia but - it's not very popular in Britain.
0:24:40 > 0:24:43- It's a new sport and it's being - introduced in the Olympics.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47- It's very different to bouldering.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50- In the speed competition...
0:24:51 > 0:24:55- ..there were many volunteers - to launch themselves up the wall.
0:24:56 > 0:25:00- Apart from one small slip, - Ruby almost broke her own record.
0:25:20 > 0:25:22- The second discipline is sport, - climbing up the wall.
0:25:23 > 0:25:28- There are different difficulties - of routes for point scoring.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32- The first one won't have - many points to offer...
0:25:33 > 0:25:35- ..but you can earn - a lot of points on the last one.
0:25:36 > 0:25:39- You can score points - on the different routes...
0:25:39 > 0:25:43- ..and there are holds halfway up - that are worth different points.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- That hold on the final route - will be worth more...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50- ..than reaching the top - on the first route.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- It's difficult to choose - which one to do.
0:25:54 > 0:25:57- You could fall off the most - difficult and miss the points.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- Your three highest scores - will count towards the total.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06- That's why it's so difficult - to choose which route to take.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- With tactics playing - an important part...
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- ..choosing the routes - and when to take them is crucial.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26- Ruby collected valuable points - in the competition...
0:26:26 > 0:26:28- ..as she reached the summit of - one of the most difficult routes.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39- The third discipline is bouldering.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42- There's no rope and we - call them problems, not routes.
0:26:42 > 0:26:46- The scoring system is the same - - the easiest scores less points...
0:26:47 > 0:26:50- ..and the most difficult - scores more points.
0:26:51 > 0:26:56- That's why it's so difficult - you - must think what you're going to do.
0:26:56 > 0:27:02- The five highest scores - count towards your total.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06- You want the most difficult problems - to get the most points.
0:27:07 > 0:27:09- Completing the problem - is another matter.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15- We us different moves on the more - difficult problems, such as flag.
0:27:15 > 0:27:22- You hold a leg out - to help you move forward smoothly.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- The next move is dyno.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Instead of stretching - to grab the next hold...
0:27:28 > 0:27:31- ..you jump from that hold - to the next hold.
0:27:31 > 0:27:34- The final move is the heel-hook.
0:27:35 > 0:27:38- It pulls you into the wall - and you push using the heel.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41- It takes the strain from the arms.
