:01:34. > :01:37.Until a few weeks ago, Jo Pavey had never won a major championship

:01:38. > :01:43.title. But at 40 years old, less than a year after giving birth to

:01:44. > :01:47.her second child, she became the oldest female European champion with

:01:48. > :01:49.victory in the 10,000m. Kate Grey has been to meet the family.

:01:50. > :01:53.COMMENTATOR: This is it. has been to meet the family.

:01:54. > :01:58.COMMENTATOR: This Her hard career has been about this moment it is

:01:59. > :02:02.gold for Jo Pavey. It was the moment she made history.

:02:03. > :02:08.Many marvelled at the 40-year-old mum of two. Now back at home, Jo

:02:09. > :02:11.Pavey beliefs it is her close family unit that is responsible for her

:02:12. > :02:17.success. It made a lot of difference. When I

:02:18. > :02:21.was younger I would be stressed about the training, if I would hit

:02:22. > :02:26.the targets. Now, I run until I am lying on the floor. But I have a

:02:27. > :02:30.moral balance to approach my life with. Feeling so happy with two

:02:31. > :02:36.lovely children and a supportive husband. I enjoy my running and it

:02:37. > :02:42.gives me a lot of motivation. With her youngest just 11 months, Jo

:02:43. > :02:47.was still breast-feeding at the start of the season. The idea of

:02:48. > :02:54.reaching the podium, seemed impossible. But with her husband

:02:55. > :02:58.Gavin, coach and manager, their unique relationship seems to work.

:02:59. > :03:02.We are working towards goals together. And more flexible on a

:03:03. > :03:07.day-to-day basis. It helps, rather than having it set in stone. When

:03:08. > :03:12.you meet a coach you can schedule it into the day. We can chat about it

:03:13. > :03:17.on the preschool run. So despite being a mum first, Jo has

:03:18. > :03:22.finally found her form as an athlete.

:03:23. > :03:25.This year as been the most special to finally achieve a championship

:03:26. > :03:31.gold. But the circumstances make it special. To think I could win the

:03:32. > :03:35.gold and do a victory lap and have my family there. It feels like the

:03:36. > :03:40.highlight of my career. It has been a great surprise to see we have been

:03:41. > :03:43.able to make it work as a family. If that continues, I will carry on for

:03:44. > :03:48.now. With that highlight coming at the

:03:49. > :03:52.age of 40, Jo believes there is a chance that her family could see

:03:53. > :03:57.heroining her first Olympic medal in Rio.

:03:58. > :04:03.From a sports woman at the pinnacle of her career, to a man on his way

:04:04. > :04:08.up, Carl Frampton fights for his first world title in the home city

:04:09. > :04:13.of Belfast. If Issing Kiko Martinez. Frampton has Barry McGuigan in his

:04:14. > :04:16.corner, one of the sports greats. There are many similarities between

:04:17. > :04:21.the two. Alex Gulrajani has this report.

:04:22. > :04:26.I am very, very proud to say I am from Tiger's Bay. I have seen a lot

:04:27. > :04:31.of troubles on the streets. I grew up in the back end of it, I can only

:04:32. > :04:35.imagine what it would have been like earlier.

:04:36. > :04:39.Boxing has played its part in the history of Ireland. Carl Frampton is

:04:40. > :04:43.the latest fighter helping to condition that process. In his

:04:44. > :04:51.corner, a man who started it all, Barry McGuigan.

:04:52. > :04:56.Barry was massive to everyone. There was the saying, leave the fighting

:04:57. > :05:00.to Barry McGuigan. It does not sound very much but he was a hero for both

:05:01. > :05:08.communities. He wore the dove on the shorts. He did not get involved in

:05:09. > :05:16.fights, or flailings, that is why people liked him. This is why, in

:05:17. > :05:20.1985, 18 million people watched on TV as Barry McGuigan world the world

:05:21. > :05:23.title. He was Northern Ireland's champion.

:05:24. > :05:27.I was privileged to bring the people of Northern Ireland together it did

:05:28. > :05:31.put pressure on me but hugely graphifying to know I was bringing

:05:32. > :05:36.people together and they were coming to support me. It was the one thing

:05:37. > :05:41.that unified them. I know it is the same with Carl Frampton. 30 years on

:05:42. > :05:45.but the same thing has happened all again. It is tremendous to watch now

:05:46. > :05:49.as a manager, as opposed to being a fighter.

:05:50. > :05:53.While the streets of Belfast are calmer, some tensions exist. But bit

:05:54. > :05:57.by bit things are changing. New faces adorn the walls as the city

:05:58. > :06:01.prepares to crown another world champion.

:06:02. > :06:05.I have the talent in the world. I am getting a chance to showcase it. I

:06:06. > :06:09.am getting that chance to do it. It will be a great fight. That is why

:06:10. > :06:15.there so much interest. It will not be an easy fight. But I want to win

:06:16. > :06:21.it. A fight that gives Frampton the chance to follow his mentor's foot

:06:22. > :06:25.steps in the ring as well as outside of it.

:06:26. > :06:31.Now to the World Equestrian Games. They began in Normandy. What a week

:06:32. > :06:41.for the British squad. Charlotte Du Jardin has two individual dressage

:06:42. > :06:47.golds. And the Parrot Equest ran Riders

:06:48. > :06:55.winning eight medals in all and there should be more to come.

:06:56. > :06:59.This is the World Cup for horses. It only happens every four years.

:07:00. > :07:06.Aside from the Olympics, this is as big as it gets. Winning here is an

:07:07. > :07:10.important statement for Rio, 2016. What a statement, Charlotte Du

:07:11. > :07:19.Jardin made. Two Gold Medals in London 2012 and two more here after

:07:20. > :07:23.she and Allegro helped them to get the team silver.

:07:24. > :07:30.After 2012 I did not think it could get better. But this week has gone

:07:31. > :07:35.so well. I have done it. And the Paralympic stars are here

:07:36. > :07:40.too. Britain's riders have won every major team Gold Medal for almost two

:07:41. > :07:45.decades. They kept it up here, picking up three individual Gold

:07:46. > :07:49.Medals alongside the team gold. But this is horse ball, a demonstration

:07:50. > :07:55.sport here in France. We are the first to play horse ball.

:07:56. > :07:59.Now we are trying to show that sport all around the world.

:08:00. > :08:06.But this weekend, the main event is eventing. A British team featuring

:08:07. > :08:10.2006 world champion, Zara Phillips has high hopes.

:08:11. > :08:16.Once you have been there once it is like a drug. You just want to do it

:08:17. > :08:22.again and stay at the top and keep pulling out the best performances. I

:08:23. > :08:32.hope that we can have a really good go at it.

:08:33. > :08:36.Coming up next week, the showjumping features Britain's Scot Brest. The

:08:37. > :08:40.favourite at the tour. There has been bad news for the

:08:41. > :08:45.showjumpers, Ben Maher pulling out because of injury to the horse.

:08:46. > :08:53.Coverage of the eventing continues on the Red Button. The cricket,

:08:54. > :09:02.England 160-6, no goals at Burnley. That is it for Saturday Sportsday.
