D:
My name is Daniel Eccleston, I'm fifteen years of age, and I go to 
Burnley Sports College in the morning and Leopard Tennis Academy in 
the afternoon. I have three lessons in the morning at school, um, then 
have lunch at school and get picked up at one o'clock, and then we start 
tennis about one thirty, two.
C:
Come on, who's quickest? Let's go, move it.
D:
My life isn't the same as, um, most fifteen year olds as I'm always 
playing tennis and doing other things. At the weekends I go – go home 
and see my friends or sometimes after I play tennis I stay at their houses 
and so I get – and I'm trying to balance out a bit, but tennis always 
comes first.
C:
Much better movement though, much better.
N:
Venus Romaeo is only eleven years old, but she's already a great 
gymnast. She can already do a lot of routines, and she wants to win an 
Olympic medal one day.
C:
Okay, that one was a good flip on but went ...
C:
You know her physical qualities are very good, she's small, she's very 
strong. She's got everything going for her.
N:
But Venus has a lot of work to do. She trains very hard, sometimes up to 
twenty-eight hours in a week.
V:
Sometimes we have Wednesdays or Sundays off. But we don't have any 
other days off.
N:
For most athletes, it takes ten years of hard work to win a gold medal. 
Venus needs to learn some very difficult routines. And gymnastics is a 
dangerous sport.
V:
It's quite scary 'cos it's really thin, and like when you first get on it it's 
really scary because when I'm in a competition I sometimes fall on it.
N:
Tom Daley really loves diving. And he has a busy training schedule.
