Hello there. Welcome to the BBC sports centre. Lots coming up for

:00:00.:00:10.

you today. A record-breaking mum on the track. The boxer, breaking down

:00:11.:00:15.

barriers with a shot at the world title and the British riders who

:00:16.:00:22.

look set to top the world yet again in Normandy. I'm Ollie Foster. This

:00:23.:00:33.

is Saturday Sportsday. It's a really busy weekend. Let's

:00:34.:00:37.

start with the headlines: Manchester United confirmed another new signing

:00:38.:00:46.

this morning. Danny Blint from Ajax for about ?14 million. That takes

:00:47.:00:51.

their spending to almost ?150 million. Almost ?60 million went on

:00:52.:01:00.

Demeira. He starts in the early Premier League kick-off. The third

:01:01.:01:05.

one-day internationals are under way at Trent Bridge. Alastair Cook and

:01:06.:01:12.

Alex Hales made an opening partnership of 82 returns. India

:01:13.:01:17.

lead the series 1-0. And Andy Murray is back in action. Due on court

:01:18.:01:27.

against Kutzneov in the third round of the last major tennis tournament.

:01:28.:01:33.

Until a few weeks ago, Jo Pavey had never won a major championship

:01:34.:01:37.

title. But at 40 years old, less than a year after giving birth to

:01:38.:01:43.

her second child, she became the oldest female European champion with

:01:44.:01:47.

victory in the 10,000m. Kate Grey has been to meet the family.

:01:48.:01:49.

COMMENTATOR: This is it. has been to meet the family.

:01:50.:01:53.

COMMENTATOR: This Her hard career has been about this moment it is

:01:54.:01:58.

gold for Jo Pavey. It was the moment she made history.

:01:59.:02:02.

Many marvelled at the 40-year-old mum of two. Now back at home, Jo

:02:03.:02:08.

Pavey beliefs it is her close family unit that is responsible for her

:02:09.:02:11.

success. It made a lot of difference. When I

:02:12.:02:17.

was younger I would be stressed about the training, if I would hit

:02:18.:02:21.

the targets. Now, I run until I am lying on the floor. But I have a

:02:22.:02:26.

moral balance to approach my life with. Feeling so happy with two

:02:27.:02:30.

lovely children and a supportive husband. I enjoy my running and it

:02:31.:02:36.

gives me a lot of motivation. With her youngest just 11 months, Jo

:02:37.:02:42.

was still breast-feeding at the start of the season. The idea of

:02:43.:02:47.

reaching the podium, seemed impossible. But with her husband

:02:48.:02:54.

Gavin, coach and manager, their unique relationship seems to work.

:02:55.:02:58.

We are working towards goals together. And more flexible on a

:02:59.:03:02.

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

:03:03.:03:07.

you meet a coach you can schedule it into the day. We can chat about it

:03:08.:03:12.

on the preschool run. So despite being a mum first, Jo has

:03:13.:03:17.

finally found her form as an athlete.

:03:18.:03:22.

This year as been the most special to finally achieve a championship

:03:23.:03:25.

gold. But the circumstances make it special. To think I could win the

:03:26.:03:31.

gold and do a victory lap and have my family there. It feels like the

:03:32.:03:35.

highlight of my career. It has been a great surprise to see we have been

:03:36.:03:40.

able to make it work as a family. If that continues, I will carry on for

:03:41.:03:43.

now. With that highlight coming at the

:03:44.:03:48.

age of 40, Jo believes there is a chance that her family could see

:03:49.:03:52.

heroining her first Olympic medal in Rio.

:03:53.:03:57.

From a sports woman at the pinnacle of her career, to a man on his way

:03:58.:04:03.

up, Carl Frampton fights for his first world title in the home city

:04:04.:04:08.

of Belfast. If Issing Kiko Martinez. Frampton has Barry McGuigan in his

:04:09.:04:13.

corner, one of the sports greats. There are many similarities between

:04:14.:04:16.

the two. Alex Gulrajani has this report.

:04:17.:04:21.

I am very, very proud to say I am from Tiger's Bay. I have seen a lot

:04:22.:04:26.

of troubles on the streets. I grew up in the back end of it, I can only

:04:27.:04:31.

imagine what it would have been like earlier.

:04:32.:04:35.

Boxing has played its part in the history of Ireland. Carl Frampton is

:04:36.:04:39.

the latest fighter helping to condition that process. In his

:04:40.:04:43.

corner, a man who started it all, Barry McGuigan.

:04:44.:04:51.

Barry was massive to everyone. There was the saying, leave the fighting

:04:52.:04:56.

to Barry McGuigan. It does not sound very much but he was a hero for both

:04:57.:05:00.

communities. He wore the dove on the shorts. He did not get involved in

:05:01.:05:08.

fights, or flailings, that is why people liked him. This is why, in

:05:09.:05:16.

1985, 18 million people watched on TV as Barry McGuigan world the world

:05:17.:05:20.

title. He was Northern Ireland's champion.

:05:21.:05:23.

I was privileged to bring the people of Northern Ireland together it did

:05:24.:05:27.

put pressure on me but hugely graphifying to know I was bringing

:05:28.:05:31.

people together and they were coming to support me. It was the one thing

:05:32.:05:36.

that unified them. I know it is the same with Carl Frampton. 30 years on

:05:37.:05:41.

but the same thing has happened all again. It is tremendous to watch now

:05:42.:05:45.

as a manager, as opposed to being a fighter.

:05:46.:05:49.

While the streets of Belfast are calmer, some tensions exist. But bit

:05:50.:05:53.

by bit things are changing. New faces adorn the walls as the city

:05:54.:05:57.

prepares to crown another world champion.

:05:58.:06:01.

I have the talent in the world. I am getting a chance to showcase it. I

:06:02.:06:05.

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

:06:06.:06:09.

there so much interest. It will not be an easy fight. But I want to win

:06:10.:06:15.

it. A fight that gives Frampton the chance to follow his mentor's foot

:06:16.:06:21.

steps in the ring as well as outside of it.

:06:22.:06:25.

Now to the World Equestrian Games. They began in Normandy. What a week

:06:26.:06:31.

for the British squad. Charlotte Du Jardin has two individual dressage

:06:32.:06:41.

golds. And the Parrot Equest ran Riders

:06:42.:06:47.

winning eight medals in all and there should be more to come.

:06:48.:06:55.

This is the World Cup for horses. It only happens every four years.

:06:56.:06:59.

Aside from the Olympics, this is as big as it gets. Winning here is an

:07:00.:07:06.

important statement for Rio, 2016. What a statement, Charlotte Du

:07:07.:07:10.

Jardin made. Two Gold Medals in London 2012 and two more here after

:07:11.:07:19.

she and Allegro helped them to get the team silver.

:07:20.:07:23.

After 2012 I did not think it could get better. But this week has gone

:07:24.:07:30.

so well. I have done it. And the Paralympic stars are here

:07:31.:07:35.

too. Britain's riders have won every major team Gold Medal for almost two

:07:36.:07:40.

decades. They kept it up here, picking up three individual Gold

:07:41.:07:45.

Medals alongside the team gold. But this is horse ball, a demonstration

:07:46.:07:49.

sport here in France. We are the first to play horse ball.

:07:50.:07:55.

Now we are trying to show that sport all around the world.

:07:56.:07:59.

But this weekend, the main event is eventing. A British team featuring

:08:00.:08:06.

2006 world champion, Zara Phillips has high hopes.

:08:07.:08:10.

Once you have been there once it is like a drug. You just want to do it

:08:11.:08:16.

again and stay at the top and keep pulling out the best performances. I

:08:17.:08:22.

hope that we can have a really good go at it.

:08:23.:08:32.

Coming up next week, the showjumping features Britain's Scot Brest. The

:08:33.:08:36.

favourite at the tour. There has been bad news for the

:08:37.:08:40.

showjumpers, Ben Maher pulling out because of injury to the horse.

:08:41.:08:45.

Coverage of the eventing continues on the Red Button. The cricket,

:08:46.:08:53.

England 160-6, no goals at Burnley. That is it for Saturday Sportsday.

:08:54.:09:02.
