:00:13. > :00:16.Hello, I'm Lizzie Greenwood Hughes, welcome to the BBC Sport Centre.

:00:17. > :00:25.Wedded badminton bliss, sublime soccer skills on crutches

:00:26. > :00:28.But first let's take a quick look at some

:00:29. > :00:33.Defending champions Great Britain will go into today's

:00:34. > :00:35.Davis Cup doubles tied at 1-1 with Japan.

:00:36. > :00:38.Andy Murray won his singles rubber but Dan Evans was beaten.

:00:39. > :00:41.Great Britain has a new track cycling star after John Dibben

:00:42. > :00:43.stormed to victory in the scrtach race at the World Championships.

:00:44. > :00:48.Britain also won two bronzes on day three.

:00:49. > :00:51.And it's being billed as 'the biggest North London derby'

:00:52. > :00:53.ever - as second-placed Tottenham host third-placed Arsenal

:00:54. > :00:54.in the Premier League's lunchtime game.

:00:55. > :01:09.It is still 0-0. Many of us play competitive sports with our partners

:01:10. > :01:14.but very few take it to an international level. Gaby and Chris

:01:15. > :01:19.Adcock have done that. Two years ago, the Badminton duo became the

:01:20. > :01:31.first husband and wife team to win Commonwealth gold and they have Rio

:01:32. > :01:36.in their site. -- sights. Yes, for the first time ever, husband and

:01:37. > :01:42.wife have won the gold medal in the mixed doubles. It was massive for

:01:43. > :01:48.us, we wanted to achieve one thing, bringing back the gold medal, and we

:01:49. > :01:52.did. They said a couple that played together stay together and the two

:01:53. > :01:58.have taken it to a world beating level. Would you say that marriage

:01:59. > :02:03.is a help or hindrance to success? We do not have another frame of

:02:04. > :02:10.reference to judge it. Should more of your players get married? I don't

:02:11. > :02:16.know about that. For them, it is really good because they can invest

:02:17. > :02:23.their time in the same direction. Gaby and Chris train for seven hours

:02:24. > :02:25.a day, six days a week, and they eat, sleep, breathe Badminton but

:02:26. > :02:32.away from the court it is a different story. The life we lead,

:02:33. > :02:36.we cannot complain, or we enjoy what we are doing, and we enjoy our time

:02:37. > :02:42.at home, especially when we have our dog. If we are playing all right and

:02:43. > :02:47.doing OK, we enjoy it even more. Is there any moment when you think, we

:02:48. > :02:51.are always here, would be go to work, when we wake up in the

:02:52. > :02:57.morning? A lot of people say they could not do it. Their tournaments

:02:58. > :03:01.when things do not go as well, and it is nobody's fold, and that can be

:03:02. > :03:07.more difficult because we are both so driven and really disappointed.

:03:08. > :03:12.-- fault. Low moments have been few and far between. Commonwealth

:03:13. > :03:20.champions and seven in the world rankings, they have a good chance of

:03:21. > :03:26.an Olympic medal. We have played them a lot. It is the Olympics but

:03:27. > :03:33.it is another Badminton tournament and we want to play well and win.

:03:34. > :03:41.One more Badminton tournament week and hopefully do well in. Good luck

:03:42. > :03:42.to both of them for this week's All-England Championships in

:03:43. > :03:51.Birmingham. If you have not seen this clip, concentrate. Look at this

:03:52. > :03:55.goal scored in the people's cup semifinal last weekend. They have

:03:56. > :04:03.become the talk of the competition. Luckily we were already filming them

:04:04. > :04:14.for the BBC's Get Inspired story. You are in the workshop where we

:04:15. > :04:20.make static limbs. This is where Ray, the guy who formed the team

:04:21. > :04:26.originally, approached me and asked if I could help out and get some

:04:27. > :04:36.players to get the Portsmouth team up and running. The centre forward.

:04:37. > :04:45.TJ, the bearded monster. Mike, dopey. He is an arm amputee. Rob is

:04:46. > :04:56.in goal, a big an arm amputee. Chris, miserable, and amputee.

:04:57. > :05:03.Roger, Mr hairdo. And amputee. Midfield, centre-half, plays

:05:04. > :05:12.wherever he once. Ray, a GB star and Internet sensation. I used to travel

:05:13. > :05:15.up to Manchester to play football with a different team so I started

:05:16. > :05:21.one in Portsmouth so I did not have to travel so far, and for other

:05:22. > :05:28.amputees as well. We play using our crotches, not with our legs, to make

:05:29. > :05:32.it an even keel. Every amputee has a different ability. We are playing

:05:33. > :05:39.with a mixed bag of disabilities. It could be anything from learning

:05:40. > :05:46.difficulties, deaf teams, they will all have two legs versus R one. When

:05:47. > :05:51.we first started, it is quite hard. The more you get into the game, the

:05:52. > :05:57.more you forget you have crutches. You forget everything and go for it.

:05:58. > :06:02.Amputee football has become really big, it has a big following. If you

:06:03. > :06:07.come into the changing room and hear the banter, it can be nasty but very

:06:08. > :06:14.funny. Everyone supports each other, everyone gives a little bit, it is

:06:15. > :06:22.really good fun. It went really well today, we got to be final and won

:06:23. > :06:31.5-2. We were a bit shaky and we went down but we came back, composed, and

:06:32. > :06:34.finished off. Well, the Portsmouth team got through to the semifinal

:06:35. > :06:40.weekend in two weeks' time and you can see more of their semifinal

:06:41. > :06:44.heroics in the people's cup on BBC iPlayer later today. This summer,

:06:45. > :06:48.golf will be part of the Olympics for the first time in more than is

:06:49. > :06:55.entry with the world's best going for gold in Rio. While many players

:06:56. > :06:58.would choose a major win over an Olympic medal, everyone agrees that

:06:59. > :07:05.inclusion in the game is a chance to show off golf to a new audience,

:07:06. > :07:09.thickly in the women's game. Tae kwon do to athletics to cycling and

:07:10. > :07:13.more, the Olympics have helped define some of Great Britain's

:07:14. > :07:21.biggest female sporting stars, and now golf. Yes, golf. It would be

:07:22. > :07:25.amazing to say I am playing in the Olympics and I am Olympian, and

:07:26. > :07:30.hopefully come away with winning something. It is a goal of mine to

:07:31. > :07:35.get in it and try and win it, and it is an event you have always watched

:07:36. > :07:40.growing up, and I loved watching the London Olympics, so it will be a

:07:41. > :07:44.great experience to play in it. For the first time in over 100 years,

:07:45. > :07:49.golf will appear in the Olympics, likely to lead Team GB's medal

:07:50. > :07:57.charge is the young and old generation. Charlie is a young

:07:58. > :08:06.rising star while this woman has 11 titles. Having grown up dreaming of

:08:07. > :08:15.major success, is the Olympics one to look for? For me, it would be a

:08:16. > :08:20.Major. Ever since I was younger, it would be winning a major, so winning

:08:21. > :08:25.the British Open. Perhaps not the ultimate prize just yet but for a

:08:26. > :08:29.sport desperate to attract a growing number of members, this could be

:08:30. > :08:35.good. You would get more people growing, and you can't get any

:08:36. > :08:36.bigger than the Olympics so it should hopefully encourage more

:08:37. > :08:40.girls and boys. Tottenham - Arsenal

:08:41. > :08:53.is still goalless. It is looking pretty entertaining so

:08:54. > :09:00.far. There is live commentary. Next up on BBC One are highlights of the

:09:01. > :09:03.cycling and the Davis Cup. Have a good afternoon, goodbye.

:09:04. > :09:07.Then get involved in Sport Relief 2016
