Roger Federer: I’ve Missed My Best Chance

Open Marriage
Tennis player Arina Rodionova will have a busy Saturday. She’s in action as she tries to qualify for the Australian Open in the morning and then gets married in the afternoon! She tells us that even though she hopes to be back on court on Sunday it won’t stop her enjoying the champagne as she weds Aussie Rules footballer Ty Vickery.

The Armless Archer
Paralympian Matt Stuzmann tells us about the new archery record he has just claimed for the "The Farthest Accurate Shot in Archery" The new mark (A bullseye at a distance of 283.47 m) is made all the more remarkable by the fact that Matt has no arms. “This is a record that was originally set by someone without a physical disability… this is now a record that can be set by ANYBODY!” 

The Forgotten Story of England’s Youngest Cricket Captain
The story of Monty Bowden, England's youngest ever captain and the man who lead England on their first tour of South Africa in 18. His short life was packed with incident. Bowden remained in South Africa after the tour and died three years later, buried in a cask of whiskey!  

Athens’ Opportune Olympic Legacy
The issue of how to look after refugees fleeing from war torn parts of the world is still a big issue, particularly for countries like Greece.  Authorities have now started to use former 2004 Olympic venues to house them. We are at the hockey and taekwondo arenas speaking to those seeing sanctuary there.

Sporting Witness… Goes back to December 1967, when the legendary motorbike stuntman Evel Knievel made global headlines for the first time when he attempted to jump over the huge fountains outside Caesar’s Palace casino in Las Vegas. Evel’s attempt failed, but his showmanship and daredevil attitude – coupled with a host of serious injuries – helped make him an icon.  We hear from Evel’s son, Kelly Knievel, and his widow, Linda Knievel.
