30/08/2014 Youth Olympic Games 2014 - Nanjing

A very warm welcome to Nanjing, China, host city of the second

summer Youth Olympic Games. 3500 athletes will go head-to-head in 28

sports, with Team GB's 33 athletes starting their journey here. We will

show you around this incredible city and getting to know our stars of the

future. Get ready to see whether our young athletes can turn their dreams

into glory as they take to the Olympic stage. This is what is

coming up in the next hour: Britain has a great tradition in triathlon.

Can the new generation follow in some illustrious footsteps? We take

a look to the local market for some Team GB food with a difference. I do

not know what happened but I did not like it one bit! Ever wondered what

happens away from the competition, find out with an access all areas

passed to the athletes village. And the Team GB swimmers get some good

ad vice from one of the sports superstars. British triathlon is on

top of the world at the moment, one of the biggest participation sports

in the country and with the Brownlie brothers, Jody Stimpson and Helen

Jenkins leading the way, it's no surprised they have inspired a

generation. We caught up with the athletes ahead of the first event of

the games. Siano Aynsley had the honour of being the first Team GB

athletes to compete. -- Sian Rainsley.

ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC I think, Sian Rainsley, she is right

in the mix. She wanted to get a strong swim and make sure she was in

the mix when it got to the bike, she has done that, good start. DANCE

MUSIC. Eighth place, a great results, well

done. Are you happy, it is over, or happy with the performance? My aim

was to get top ten because I was only fifth rank in Europe, I have

overachieved, very chuffed. From what you saw the race, how will you

take it tomorrow? Swimming is not the strongest com I will have to

bridge across, it is quite a technical course. I am looking

forward to that, some technical parts, there is an overpass, you

have to be careful of and a dead turn, that is where the bike

handling skills will come into play, the weather, it is quite damp,

similar to British weather, we should be all right.

Nervous morning? Very nervous morning, very exciting. Something we

have been looking forward to, the 17 months really. Yeah, now is the

time. We will see in about an hour. What has happened.

DRAMATIC MUSIC you are happy? I think so, I swam quite well, 23

seconds down on the one, it is a big group, you should be able to get the

attachment and hopefully if they come together and they finish as one

big group, you should be able to finish well. Even with the 23 second

gap, he can recover? Yeah, I'm positive, unless something goes

wrong on the bike, he can. DRAMATIC MUSIC SHOUTING

Fantastic! It is so good, so good! Very happy, yes, yes! CHEERING

Oh! Go on, go on Dave, go on Ben. Take it easy, go on, yes, go Ben. It

is a penalty? It is a penalty. If he has got a penalty, you are confident

he could kick on? It will be difficult, we'll see. What have you

heard? He doesn't have a penalty, I hope I do not have him worried, we

will see what happens! ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC

Go on Ben, go on, come on! Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, go, go, go! Come on! Come

on. Yes! LAUGHTER Yes. I could kiss you! LAUGHTER

ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC For the Spectator, an incredible

race, but for you, you couldn't have gone through much more. It was so

close, it would have been nice to have a bigger margin, but it is the

race and anything can happen, it was so close. Talked us through the

transition from bike to run, things went crazy? I crashed into two

peoples bikes, I had to the gap. How will you enjoyed a moment on the

podium? It will be fantastic, standing with the British flag will

be amazing. There was further success, when he led team Europe to

the gold medal in the mixed team competition. And for Sian Rainsley,

winning the Silver 14 Europe three. This is the second Youth Olympics,

the first was held in Singapore, in 2010 and for some it proved to be a

springboard for success, at London 2012. He is a little pocket

battleship of determination, Jade Jones, from North Wales. You little

beauty! The teenage kicking superstar from North Wales,

Jones, from North Wales. You little beauty! The teenage she's the

Olympic champion! This is lovely swinging, he is working beyond his

years. What an incredible moment! CHEERING

This is what you have worked for four whole decade, good luck, Tom

Daley. This is what you have worked for

four whole decade, good Listen to that noise. Tom Daley,

bronze-medallist, ten-metre platform. It is amazing to think how

quickly Tom, Sam, and Jade made the transition from junior to senior

competition. There was another young champion who made a big impact in

London, who could forget that beautiful boy, the South African

superstar, here to pass on his knowledge to the next generation. He

won the gold medal at the 2012 Olympics, he is an inspiration to me

and the Team GB swimmers, it will be amazing to meet him. It is just the

determination, and his technique and everything. Unbelievable. We will do

a warm up, and then we will do fly. I do fly. We will race to the other

side! ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC

In the butterfly I like to focus on my hips and legs, that is what I

practice in training, feeling the rhythm. I compare it to dancing. I

tend to mess up my feet sometimes, with a half stroke, I need to work

on the finish. In training you need to make sure you always, like I say,

practice putting your head down at the finish. I always finish hard

into the wall, butterfly especially, people are jumping their hips. You

need to work on your legs at the finish. It is not really your arms,

need to work on your legs at the finish. It is not really your it is

your legs at the end. So... COMMENTATOR: My goodness me, Chad

LeClos winning the gold medal. Look what it means! The biggest honour is

to wear the South African Capcom I am sure it is same for your guys,

Team GB. Dashed to wear the cap, it is a great feeling. You wear it with

pride. You are worried about any of us? You

have to keep your eyes open. Four years ago nobody knew who I was

going into London. Getting a chance of winning the medal in the

butterfly. There are a lot of youngsters here, around the world,

thinking I want to beat him. I have got to be on my game and keep

practising hard. Watching out for you guys. Any ideas about rituals

before the race? Sometimes, I have a lucky charm from my brother, it is

not something in particular. It is a little something I always carry with

me before the race. I do the same warm up routine. Usually I like

looking at my competitors before I swim. I don't know why. CHUCKLES

That's something I've always done but otherwise it is the same old

same old. Thank you so much for being here, and spending time with

Team GB, how important is this for the proper Olympics as a warm up? It

is very important as a warm up preparation, like I say, it prepared

me the things I was not used to. Come here and to be on the big

stage, looking at the stadium it is quite big. Bigger than most of the

youngsters have, you know, seen before, to get a bit of a taste

Andres Romero saw for Rio? -- to get a taster for Rio. What got you into

the pool? It was my dad actually, he got me into the water. I used to

say, stop it dad. The first time I swam, I was really young. I think

everything goes back to him, yeah. Well it looks like his advice paid

off, the women's four x 100 medley team of Jessica Fullalove, Georgina

Evans, Charlotte Atkinson and Amelia Morne had success in the pool.

Jessica also had success in other events. I was saying, don't give in,

you are from the north, man up, kind of thing. I just dug in that little

bit more. I could have got the gold. It was good enough Al say. There was

team gold for Team GB in the four x 100 m freestyle relay, a fabulous

swim from the British quartet which saw them finish ahead of Italy and

Germany. We knew we had the confidence, we came out of the

European Juniors, we knew we were fast this season. We have high

confidence going into it and we stepped up to the plate and we did a

great job. We have been competing together for quite awhile now, yeah,

we know each other really well, it really helps when it comes the

relay. We rate each other. Luke Greenbank also went on to take the

bronze in the 200 metre backstroke. Here we are, the Youth Olympics

Village, home away from home to over 200 computing nations and more than

3500 athletes. -- competing nations. Team GB, after a days travelling

have found themselves a long way from home, let's get a flavour of

things. Good luck. Smile. It is nice to have that kind of support. Treat

the flag bearer right! On the plane somebody said who is she, somebody

says, she's the boss and I thought, my goodness, I am. Nothing, in

relation to your culinary skills. I have cooked nothing self but I will

give it a go! . This is a real privilege. Letting us into the hide

of the Youth Olympic Games. So, will you show me around? Yes, come on in.

Zbl Basic! Roomy. You could do some exercise here!

What a group you have got. Diverse, multi-skilled, multi-sports?

Absolutely. Lots of them in ones, twos, they have had to mix to get to

know each other. It is brilliant to see at this age. 15 to 18 years old

it is quite a span from 15 to 18. But they are getting on really well.

Helping each other, sporting each other.

Where does Jake sleep? Here on the left.

What a great space. Bright white sheets, well, for now, at least.

It must be pretty interesting seeing a group of teenagers coming together

all at once and then seeing what happens. What has that been like to

see that develop? What could possibly go wrong, hey? ! Very

intimate with your roommate? Yes, very close together! I do have to do

one thing if you don't mind it is very forward of me. But this is

inviting. Can I test the springability? Have a go.

I will not jump on it. It may be fragile. But I will just test the

waters. That is like a table. Not much give in that, is there? No! A

senior event, you may talk about the Commonwealth Games, you talk about

medal targets a lot. Do you look at that for these guys? Talking about

the targets from a medal perspective or a different level? There is no

medal table at this game. So we are not talking about medal targets,

make making a medallist feeling different. It is about the

experience. Experience is the best performance. We also want them to

have a great performance and this really is about learning from the

experience. I can see on your face you are

looking forward to it. We are looking forward to it. If you don't

mind us getting in your way, we are looking for to it with you every

step of the way. Great.

Thank you for having us! And Jake Saywell took gold as part of Team

Europe in the Team Equestrian competition.

Also striving for gold, taking on the world and doing so in great

style, Nick Hope went along to meet this group... Think of Jamaica, you

probably picture Usain Bolt and the lightening bolt Ando had been and

the likes, well, you may not have heard these names yet but they are

the upand come doing athletes of Jamaica.

If you have seen them doing something before the race, it is

just because they are nervous. COMMENTATOR: The champion is

becoming a legend. I really respect Usain Bolt. A true

champion. When I see him do well, I get the goose bumps. I think that

can be me in a couple of years. When you see Usain Bolt you want to

be better. You can't be someone, as person is made. You must be better

than them. Martin Manly is the youth Olympic

champion. You cannot explain a Gold Medal. You

have to feel it for yourself. But I think that I can be. I know that

there are those out there trying to take it too but I have the

personality and I have thele pigses. Welcome to the Olympic Stadium. The

atmosphere is amazing. The crowd expecting awesome performances.

Can he do it? Of course he can. Is the pressure on Jaheel Hyde? You

have your gold, he will want one now? There is no pressure on him. I

think he is more than phenomenal, he is a great athlete.

COMMENTATOR: They are cleanly away. It is Jaheel Hyde with the

advantage. He is smiling clear of the rest of the field. In a class of

his own. Look at the clock. What is the time?

Oh, yes! Inside 13 seconds. How good was that? There is no words to

describe that man. Awesome. Wonderful. Excellent.

How pleased are you for your team-mate? You both have Gold Medals

now? I am very proud of him. He has had a great season. Breaking a lot

of records this year. I am very proud of him.

The next Usain Bolt? Of course! From the start of the race I knew I was

going to get the Gold Medal. Even before the race. I wanted it badly.

The plan was to come before 14 seconds.

What does Rio mean mean to you? Snow It mean as lot. I have come from

far. Sometimes you don't know what you are doing but I have been coming

from a long way behind and I am a champion, I want to come back. To

come back with a Gold Medal is my main aim.

It is what I want to do at the Olympics.

Team GB came to China with two athletes of their own. Christian

McNeish and Abigail Stones were ready to compete in the often

unpredick yackety start of tae kwon do.

-- unpredictable sport of tae kwon do.

Here we are, then. At the Nanjing Expo Centre, where Abigail Stones is

to kick-start her youth Olympic career. She is one of the favourites

and there is a lot of nervous energy here. Before coming to China,

Abigail Stones got some support from Olympic and tae kwon do champion,

Jade Jones. When I went I did not know what to

expect. But it is definitely the real Olympics. It was amazing.

How was the pressure and how did you deal with it? Yeah, I did feel

pressure. But when I got there, I realised it was amazing even to be

there. So just try to enjoy the experience. Realise that the

pressures are those that you put on yourself. You can only do your best.

In tae kwon do anything can happen. You have to focus on your plan. What

you can do in the ring. What are your hopes for the Youth Olympics? I

want to go out there and I do want to get a medal but to go out there

and do my best. I want to enjoy the experience and give it 100%.

So, can Abigail Stones enjoy the experience? We are about to find

out. She has made it into the semi-final.

Next a fight for the Gold Medal. The first round of three. Done and

dusted and Abi leads by 2-0. Looking good but a long way to go in the

semi-final. Well, that is half of the lead taken

away. She is still in there. She is still very, very close from being a

step away from the youth Olympic Gold Medal. But that round was a

little more cagey than the first. She is getting us nervous up here in

the stands. Hopefully she can turn the shrieks into points. Now she is

trailing. That is not good. Not good. Come on, Abi, come on! Oh! She

is absolutely gutted. You feel for her, you really feel

for her. She has a Bronze Medal. But it is not what she came to China

for. Her and her team knew she had it in her to win the youth Olympic

gold. So to come away with it winning a Bronze Medal it is not a

bad result. But she knew in herself she was going for gold.

I trade my best. There is nothing else that I could have done. I was

trying things but basically we fight the same. We could not get around

each other's legs. It was hard. It was not the result I wanted.

You got a Bronze Medal. I know it is not what you came to take away but

what can you take from the experience? The experience was

amazing. There is more to come in the next few weeks. Reflect on what

happened here and improve on the next performance whenever that is.

Well, you may not think it but you have done Liverpool proud and you

have done Great Britain proud as well.

And Christian matched his partner to bring home another Bronze Medal for

Team GB. I have come to meet 15-year-old Ellie Downie to find out

how she is settling here in Nanjing and more importantly, to find out

what she wants to achieve from her Olympic debut.

Ellie, what is it like to be here in Nanjing ready for the Olympic Games?

I know it has been a while. But it is great to be here.

You came off the back of an incredible European Championships,

how does it make you feel going into the Games? Confident but nervous. I

had a few skills in the routines that could hit or miss. The bars, I

missed a bit today. I am hoping to improve on that.

I know that your sister is a massive inspiration. So we thought we would

show you something to give you a final push. There are a few other

faces to recognise. Check it out. If she is going the way she should,

I have no reason to think she will not be better than me when it comes

to seniors. I have known it for a long time. Ellie has done so well.

If she continues and stays injury-free, she could be one of the

best in the world. Who knows, watch this space.

Ellie went on to win four medals. Three bronze on the floor, beam, and

in the all round final and a silver in the vault. And team-mate Giarnni

Regini-Moran took two medals in the high bar and the parallel bars and

an amazing three golds in the vault and in the all round final.

COMMENTATOR: It is good. It is great.

Congratulations, how does it feel coming off the back of what has been

an incredibly successful Youth Olympics games for you? Amazing.

Knowing that I have put six weeks of hard work and dedication into the

training. Now knowing that the competition is down done, I have

walked away with five medals. It is the best feeling in the world.

How do you describe your style when you perform? What is different about

you to other gymnasts? I am trying to be cool, calm and confident. When

I have a smile I know that I have done the best routine. Even if I

don't get a medal I know I have given it 100%.

There has been so much success evenly, how do you feel to be a part

of the new wave of British gymnasts? Amazing. Since 2012, the boys

getting bronze. And everyone from Team GB, just moving forwards and

getting more medals than ever. I know that the competition has

ended for you but I thought that we should try a brand new sport. How do

you feel about Wooshu? Sounds great. Shall we give it a go? Yeah.

Unbelievable. What did you make of that?

Physically and mentally frustrating! Sticking to the gymnasts for Rio

2016, I like it. Yes.

Well, congratulations on what has been a phenomenal year for you. Well

done. Here at the Youth Olympic Games there is a host of athlete

role models on hand to give advice on all aspects of sports. But

sometimes there is a closer wisdom at home. It does help if he is a

sporting legend in his own right. As an ex-athlete, Seb, how difficult

is it to make the transition from juniors to sisters. And how much

will this experience help these guys? I don't want to put them off

but they will know this from their coaches, going from the juniors to

the senior is the toughest part of the journey. Tougher than almost at

any other stage. The experience here is hugely helpful.

What did it feel like to cross the line and know you had won an Olympic

gold? It is a fantastic moment. I am guessing that in a way you have

probably experienced the same emotions yesterday when you are

thinking about the individual effort that's been taken but then also the

support of parents, coaches, the staff here. The overwhelming

emotions is just being relieved that you did not let those people down.

Then you get excited after and realise you did something special.

You did that yesterday, congratulations. Is there a way you

dealt with nerves? The reality is that you will always be nervous

going into races, you need to be under control. For me, I found I was

most confident when I knew I had done all of the work which was

necessary. How different is junior and senior, and the Youth Olympics

to the actual Olympics? I would love to have been to the Youth Olympics

games because it would have given me the experience, I would have

understood the nature of the Olympic games a little bit more and

championship competition had I been through one of these. To answer your

first question, I guess, I think it is the toughest journey you will

make from being a good junior competitor into a regular senior,

hopefully international compared to the. Is there anything you would

like to ask him, a chance you may never have again? How did you cope

with media pressures, pressures from other people when you have won one

gold medal, to turn up and achieve again and defend titles and stuff?

Sometimes the easy bit is actually getting there and the hard bit, is

sort of sitting back, and saying, OK, I will start again. And do

another four years. You cannot think I have won an Olympic title and

therefore the next four years will be a doddle. More pressures come

with it. And I guess again, the experience of being here will also

begin to give you a feeling for some of those media pressures. Let me ask

you, slightly diplomatic question. A cynic might say four years ago, 39

athletes, four years later, only 33. They might say, not quite inspiring

a generation. They are proving it does work, but can you see a future,

where this is progressing because the numbers decreasing might not

suggested. It is not simply about numbers, it is the quality,

potential, selection is not simply just about sending the biggest

teams. It is about sending people that will be mentally and physically

ready to do that, you cannot send people into competition to early.

What I would say is that this is an extraordinary generation of young

talent, coming through, there is no reason they should not be there or

thereabouts. Maybe Rio, they could be a little undercooked in Rio but

certainly by the time Tokyo comes around in six years time, you should

all be there. For most of the athletes in Nanjing

this is their first taste at multisport event. But there is one

swimmer with more experience than most, she has already got a world

record and an Olympic medal to her name. She is holding on for little

Waimea -- she is holding on, for her country who have never won a gold

medal. And she takes the gold medal. Olympic champion aged 15, well done.

Well done. She is looking to add the Youth Olympics gold medal, this is

her second choice event, we are expecting big things from her.

COMMENTATOR: Remarkable start for the world record holder, she's

already half body length ahead. She is taking it out hard. She is

powering away and she looks supreme. Come on Ruta. She has got it worked

out, her flow is awesome, somebody who is only 17, remarkable, this is

why she is the record-holder, 30.14, good enough of a gold medal,

practically guaranteed. She made it look easy, she drifted through the

heats and the semifinals, absolutely powered to the gold medal. She

certainly delivered, the gold medal will mean so much to her. This is

lame for, where you got your gold medal, what does it mean -- lane for

the Little four. It means a lot, I am inspiring people, the national

anthem, it is a great experience again. The Youth Olympics, it still

means a lot to me. She's driven to be the best she can be, she likes

the idea of breaking new ground, when she set the world records last

year, she was thrilled with that, she likes the idea of swimming at

new tournaments. And making people smile. It is good for the youngsters

to experience something like the Olympics, it is very similar. It is

part of a preparation. It prepares you for the big thing, it gives you

the experience. I guess, with the Youth Olympics, you would be more

relaxed when it comes to the real thing. Why was it so important for

you, and to her, to be at the Youth Olympics? I think the opportunity to

do the competition, the next time she will be too old, we like the

idea of winning every medal there is if we can. This is another one in

the Cabinet. It shows, even if you are Olympic and world champion,

young, you should not be too big for your boots that you cannot represent

your country at the junior competition. I think she has shown

it is an Arab rubble -- and rubble side

do you get people coming and asking for selfies and advice? Yes, more

selfies than advice. The girls I swim with, they are always asking

for advice, some people might be a bit scared of me, maybe I look

moody, or... The game face on. I am always up for a chat. If anybody

needs to... I am there. The Youth Olympic Games and not just about

sport, athletes can take part in a cultural and education programme

where they can learn about injury prevention, sports career planning

and how to make films. Before Team GB's judoka team left, we gave them

a camera to record their journey. Hello, we are leaving today. Just

arrived in Nanjing, how did you find the flight? It was long. What about

the combination? Perfect, really, really perfect. This is the opening

ceremony... It is massive! ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC

Thank you so much for doing some filming and giving us an insight,

into what it is like to be the athlete ahead of the big

competition. You spend a lot of time in the canteen in the Olympic

village, you like to eat, why is it everybody wants to know about the

food in the village? As an athlete you need to have a good diet,

everybody wants the best preparation, you do not want junk

food all the time. Wanted to be nice and healthy. You stay disciplined,

Pete? It is important to be having good nutrition, weight control

sport, you need good food. It has been OK, better than the food here.

Hard to be disciplined, I am sure. We are in the market today, we want

to put your filming techniques on test, we want to film some Nanjing

delicacies. I am absolutely famished, let's treat the girls for

lunch. Let's do the same, we will treat you to lunch. Lunch, Nanjing

style! Can you spell it, it looks like it has gone off, wow! It is

slippery and slimy. Really slippy. Immediately, Pete, we have got... I

have never seen that before in my life. Get a nice close-up on that.

It is like mouldy eggs. That has got to be a Trotter, it looks like a

foot. CHUCKLES I love Pete, he says it like it is,

looks like a foot and probably is a foot. I will hazard a guess, at

someone, something 's tongue, do you reckon the girls would fancy that?

They would love that, it's right up their street. I have never seen that

before. I've never seen anything like that! The power of the

judoka... What will they do? There is one the Pete. I think they would

like that. -- 14 Pete. I do not know what happened but I

didn't like it, not one bit! OK ladies, we're not sure what this was

which is why you are here, this is the first offering. Get stuck in.

Get it down you. Get it down you! Just imagine it is confectionery.

That was honestly disgusting! Turkey on, boys. -- tucked in.

I think Pete is feeling sick, but you look all right with that? What

came first, the chicken foot or the egg? Stop it. The text is awful but

the flavour is not bad. How was that? The fact I know it is a duck

's brain, it is gross. You have some eyeball stuck in your tooth. You

don't say that every day. Three, two, one. Oh! I can feel my breath

smelling horrible after that! I think we need to get you back to the

village for some food you are more used to, come on!

DRAMATIC MUSIC it is a hot day but it is a historic day, for the first

time in over a century Olympic medals will be awarded in the game

of golf and as a precursor to Rio, 2016, this is not a bad setting

whatsoever for Great Britain, Annabel was a really big hope. As

Britain's highest rank amateur, unfortunately she has been laid low

with a back injury, which means the big hope lies with Rob McIntyre.

OK, you are not competing, but we have Bob, what you know about his

game? Steady as a rock, he hardly misses a fairway which is unusual

for a guy. Very calm on the course and relaxed. Very chilled. Part of

the excitement is the fact the boys and girls are competing at the same

time, it must be a thrill. It is strange, seeing a guy walking down

the fairway but it is cool, to see how they play the course, it gives

you a different insight. What your friends think when you say you play

golf? They think it is an old man sport, and I say, I go to practice

every day, they say, do you want to come out, and I said, I'm going to

practice and they say again, you went yesterday! Such a great course,

such a shame you cannot be competing. Yes, it is one of the

decisions you have to make, horrible decision, really horrible. Better

for me in the long term, for my career. What has the doctor told me,

the diagnosis? I have pulled a ligament in my back which sounds

worse than it is. It is not a quick fix. It is a pretty easy one. I just

need a lot of treatment and some rest, I need to strengthen other

parts of my body, where it has kind of thickened bit.

A lot of people might think golf should not be an Olympics, what

would you say to them? They need to learn more about golf and watch it

more, and see what it is like. It must be good to hear the likes of

Phil Mickelson, saying his main goal is to get to reopen? It is cool, it

is different because people did not think about that. To get to reopen

delete macro Rio de Janeiro. people's perspective on it, for him

to say that. I think it will be a really good tournament in Rio.

It must have been a shame to lose Annabel so early on? Yes it was a

shame. And for the team event it is a disapointment.

What do you take from the Games? A lot of from pressure, the heat, the

enjoyment of playing against other people from other countries.

After this, you could play in a desert! It does not get much hotter

than this, does it? No, this is hot! Time to shower down, then! Bob

McIntyre it has been a pleasure to watch you.

Most athletes here at the Olympic Games have to concentrate on one

sport. But the modern athlete must concentrate on five. It is hard to

imagine that there is time for anything else.

I have come to meet up with some of those students.

I am guessing, Henry, that you are not really into fashion? No, I am

more of the science type. Is it like to be here in Nanjing,

there must have been a build-up in the last few weeks in your head?

Yes, training hard, trying not to get injured.

What is it like between you and Frankie, she is your training

support? Really good. Well, good luck on the day. We know

you can do it for Team GB. On a more serious note, have you ever taken

part in a Chinese fashion show? Never.

You are into fashion, aren't you? Yes.

You are about to go to Paris to study? Yes, to the American Academy.

Look at these ones, a lot of colour there.

Yes. Is Henry trendy? Would you call him

fashionable? Yeah, he is pretty trendy. I ware blews and whites, and

he dresses that as well, so I am a fan.

No. No. Definitely red. Do you think? Yep. That one. Since

you have been in, what have you picked up about Chinese fashion? Do

you like it? It is different. It is different to the European fashions.

Floral. Colourful. I like colourful. There are a lot of great patterns as

well? Yes. And lots of sequins in the patterns. We don't have that in

England. I think it is quite brave. A lot

braver than us. That would suit you. You don't like

flowers? No. Fallen at the first hurdle. No. But

that suits you. They are fine on other people but on me, a no, no!

Don't worry, I am not offended. Out of the whole GB team, is there

anyone that you see in their clothes and you think, no? Anyone who is not

so trendy? Well, here everyone is wearing the same kit. There are no

socks, sandals, so everyone is good. If it was up to you, if it was Gold

Medal or a line at Paris Fashion Week, which would you choose? Gold

Medal all the way. Pentathlon sport. Is my number one. My passion is

fashion. If I could put them together that would be great. But I

would go Gold Medal any day! Well, there have been a lot of outfits

here with lots of patterns, let's try some on! That is nice. It suits

you. I like them. So, Henry? They are OK.

So you are not that into fashion? No.

And it looks as if Francesca Summers will have difficult decisions to

make in the future. A fabulous medal here, a Silver Medal, shows she has

a future in both the modern pentathlon as well as fashion.

Yulong Cheng had a strong start, finishing in 11th place overall.

This may be the second edition of the summer Youth Olympics but the

first for IOC President, Tomas Bach. I caught up with him.

Tomas, a pleasure for taking the time to meet us. After all of this

time and you are finally here, you are here for the first time as the

IOC President. How is it shaping up? It is really exciting. You only have

to see the smiles in their faces. It has started in a great way.

Four years ago I spoke to Anna Rogowska, who said that the Youth

Olympic Games were like his baby. So to extend the metaphor, how do you

that I that the baby will grow into something special? The first two

editions of the Games have been a great success. This is the third. We

will wait and see what we can do even better. I don't know yet. But

there is nothing on our planet that is so good that you cannot make it

better. Are there visions of where to take

it forward? We will concentrate here in Nanjing and make this is success.

Then we will wait until after. It makes no sense now to throw ideas at

people while this is ongoing. It is better first to see what is

happening here, then we can take it from there.

We have seen some of the athletes growing from a great British

perspective, the likes of Sam Oldham, turning Great Britain

success into a youth Olympic success.

But again the youth Games are not just about performance and athletic

achievements, it is about more and going beyond. This is what we must

evaluate. This is one of the issues, and how ecan best accomplish the

mission of combining both - great athletic performances and the

education of the youngsters at the same time.

Is there anything you are looking forward to seeing as far as the

sports are concerned? I hope to see all of the sports! This is why we

are here. I am a fan of seeing the sports live. Sorry to say it on TV!

But I really love sports live. I will be running around and watching

it all as much as possible. Thank you very much.

Thank you. Enjoy the Games. How can we no? ! This place is

incredible. In the trampolining competitions, the Team GB couple

both made it into the finals, finishing eighth.

Bradley Denny got to the quarter-finals of the archery

competitions. Paul Sunderland missed out on a

Bronze Medal. And Victoria Murray was knocked out in the quarter-final

stage. And Hannah Brant, the lone sailor

finished in 18th position. A great result considering the difficult

conditions on the lake. Well, for Team GB this is the last

chance to pick up medals. But for the British boxers, they will not be

the colours that they would have wanted. Defeat in the semi-finals

mean that Peter McGrail, Hadel Riley and Muhammed Ali, will have to watch

and wait. Well done, mate. It is not the

colour that you wanted but we can see what it meant for you to win the

Bronze Medal after all of that. It meant everything to me. The

training had not been great. I had a cut eye. I had to stop sparring

early. So great. I am over the moon.

Riley has produced eye--catching shots in the closing moments. A

right-hand to the body. Manasi trying to respond. Terrific stuff.

? COMMENTATOR: And the winner is in the blue

corner. Manasyan has prevailed in a

thriller. Where now Viddal? Going home to

retrain and get back up again for the next time.

What about Pete? Full confidence in him. I will be in the crowd

supporting him. So, after one win, one defeat it is

down to Merseyside's Peter McGrail to see if he can add to the medal

tally. There is a noisy and small contingent over there, hoping to see

if Pete can do it for the team. In the blue, Peter McGrail from

Great Britain. That is nice. Nice.

He may have taken a blow there. He is backing away.

Now going hard at it. Peter McGrail with a flurry, as if to reinforce

his dominance. ? COMMENTATOR:

And the winner is the blue corner, Great Britain.

There you go. There is a very, very happy man.

Peter McGrail. You can see the smile on his face! I am proper over the

moon. And I got a medal. I came for the Gold Medal. But at least I am

going home with a medal. Yesterday I thought I boxed brilliantly. A lot

of people thought that I should have got the decision. I fought my heart

out tonight. I am going home with a medal. I cannot be happier.

So, 33 athletes and 24 medals. Here is what inspired the talented group

of teenagers to take up their sports.

I was really interested in the sport it was a new concept to me. When I

got there, the atmosphere was incredible. Really enjoyed it. Built

it from there. Put in the hours of training. I could not feel better.

#w567ing Jessica Ennis win her Olympic Gold Medals. Her journey

through sport. How she has progressed and my dad who is my head

coach who got me doing pentathlon. Different people inspire me like

jade Jones who has been here before and done it. I wanted to follow in

her foot steps. I wanted to make my family proud of me. I think of the

athletes like Michael Jamieson winning the Silver Medal in London.

I felt proud in Nanjing, I wanted to make London and GB proud. My parents

from a young age. They are active and into sports. They encouraged me.

Then people like Kelly Holmes who inspired me and encouraged me to get

to that level. I remember at 12 years old, watching Rebecca

Adlington and all of the other swimmers. That got me involved.

There were six of us down the boxing gym. I ended up sticking at it. I

started winning fights and I thought that I loved this feeling. I want to

do it for the rest much my life. So, if you have been inspired to get

up and get moving, take a look at the get inspired web. At: And that

brings to an end the 2014, Nanjing Youth Olympic Games. I have had a

blast. Lindsey, have you had a great moment? It has all been incredible.

Watching all of these great athletes, competing at such a high

level and having such a great time. Amazing. I loved Ben Dijkstra, and

sharing it with a great guy, Tom, his dad. A lovely man.

So, incredible performances across the board and no doubt there will be

a couple of them that we see popping up in Rio in a couple of year's

time. But for now, from both of us, goodbye! Bye!
