Speaker 1: fourth Winter Olympics. Yeay. China is the twenty twenty two

10
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: Winter Olympics host The events mascot is an animal that

11
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: is a well known symbol of China. Can you guess

12
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: what animal it is? Here's a hint. The mascot will

13
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:18,280
Speaker 1: make Elliot proud. That's right, a panda. Its name is

14
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 1: Bing Dwendwen. Bing means ice, a sign of purity and strength.

15
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: Dwendwen represents children, the hope of the future who There

16
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: are fifteen sports in the Winter Olympics, each with a

17
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: variety of events. We can't cover them all, so let's

18
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: explore a couple of Lingo Kids' favorites. Elliot, you're a

19
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: fan of cross country skiing? Isn't that right. Yes. Cross

20
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: country skiing started in Norway and is an original winter

21
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: Olympic sport. The two types of cross country skiing, classic

22
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: and skate require different gear and movement. Want to try

23
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: both types, sure, let's go. Put on socks and stand

24
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: on a smooth floor where you can slide. Be careful

25
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: not to slip though. For classic cross country bend your knees,

26
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: keep your toes pointed forward. Now barely lift your feet

27
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 1: and take two steps. Shuffle shuffle. Now stay longer on

28
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: one foot and slide forward glide. Okay, here's the pattern.

29
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: Shuffle shuffle, glide, shuffle, shuffle glide.

30
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: You do it.

31
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: Shuffle, shuffle, glide, shuffle, shuffle, glide, shuffle, shuffle, glide, shuffle.

32
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: Shuffle glide. Super. Let's try the other way, yes, okay.

33
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,680
Speaker 1: Cross country skate skiing uses one foot at a time.

34
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 1: Stand on one foot with knees bent bellos. Now the

35
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: other foot. You got it. Now stand with your toes

36
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 1: pointed slightly out, stand on one foot and push off

37
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: with the other. Glide and push, glide and push, glide

38
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: and push. This could be a fun way to clean

39
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: the floor. Spectacular moves. Lingo. Kids, Now that we're warmed up.

40
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: It's time to learn about Cowie's favorite. It's a team

41
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:51,119
Speaker 1: sport that started in Canada. An he guesses, that's right,

42
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: ice hockey. It's a big hit at the Olympic Games.

43
00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: Canada is the leader, winning twenty two medals, including thirteen Golds.

44
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: Ice hockey players skate at high speeds on natural or

45
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: fake ice. Each team has six players on the ice,

46
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: but a whole team has over twenty players. It's an

47
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: action packed sport. Players can send a puck flying at

48
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: over one hundred miles per hour that's about one hundred

49
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 1: and sixty kilometers an hour, and as players scramble to

50
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: move or hit the puck, they often run into each other.

51
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: Hockey players wear a lot of safety gear, a helmet,

52
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 1: shoulder pads, elbow pads, mouthguard, gloves, padded pants, an athletic protector,

53
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 1: and leg guards. Do you want to play hockey, Cali?

54
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: Maybe not. Kids who play hockey also wear protection that

55
00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: covers the face. We don't want anyone losing teeth. No

56
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: matter the sport, every Olympic athlete has spent years in

57
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: training and competition to be the best of the best,

58
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: to represent their country, to be a winter sports athlete,

59
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: you need to be strong, quick, and coordinated. There are

60
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: many fun ways to build your skills, starting with ones

61
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: you may already do. First, catch a ball to improve

62
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:34,679
Speaker 1: hand eye coordination. Next, glide for balance. We already practiced

63
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: that one in our socks. Let's see. You can also

64
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: run to build strength and speed. Or jump. You can

65
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: practice jumping higher or jumping farther for coordination, Kick a

66
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 1: ball or strike it with a bat. And, last, but

67
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: not least, practice throwing a ball to help with accuracy

68
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: and upper body strength. Elliot and Cowie, let's go outside
