Eddy Maillet from Seychelles has been selected as one of the 30 FIFA referees for the World Cup in South Africa.  In part two of our interview he talks about the pressure of officiating in stadiums filled with 80,000 people and his personal hopes for this year's competition.

cheruiyot_vivian_ken_610x500The World Indoor Championships take place in Doha from 12-14 March and we hear from two athletes looking forward to the event who competed in England recently.  Kenyan athlete Vivian Cheruiyot (left) is the reigning women's world champion over 5,000 metres and Christine Amertil won a silver medal at last year's World Championships in Berlin as part of the Bahamas' women's 4x400 metres relay team.

TuDo players have a moral responsibility to help the referee make decisions on the pitch or on the court, or should they simply concentrate on playing and let the referee get on with his job?  Former Manu Samoa rugby union international, Tu Nu'uali'itia (right), changed his views after a religious experience and believes this made him a better player.

Last month FIFA announced the names of the 30 referees selected to officiate at this year's World Cup in South Africa.  Among them was 43-year-old Eddy Maillet     from Seychelles.  Maillet has been a FIFA referee since 2001 and since then has officiated in almost 100 internationals including the high-pressure World Cup play-off match last year between Egypt and Algeria in Sudan.  Eddy Maillet talks to us about his delight at being selected for the World Cup and how he copes with the pressure of refereeing high-profile matches.

Bob skeleton is one of the sports included at Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver.  Skeleton athletes run to the start line pushing a sled then throw themselves on the sled head-first to hurtle down an ice track at speeds of up to 130 kilometres an hour.  Adam Pengilly is a member of the British skeleton team and he speaks to reporter Norman Brierley about the sport and his hopes for the Winter Games.

TuThe Six Nations is the Northern Hemisphere's top rugby union competition.  We talk to former Manu Samoa international, Tu Nu'uali'itia (right) in Auckland, to find out what a former player from the Southern Hemisphere thinks of this year's competition.  Tu also gives his views on the decision taken by Scotland and British Lions forward, Euan Murray, not to play on Sundays because of his religious convictions.  Is this stance to be applauded, or is Murray letting his colleagues and country down by refusing to play?
