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. |
