Hosted by Super Bowl champion and two-time Emmy Award-winner
Michael Strahan, Kids’ Choice Sports 2019 was taped live Thursday,
July 11, from Barker Hanger in Santa Monica, Calif., and will
premiere Saturday, Aug. 10, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) as a simulcast on
Nickelodeon, TeenNick and Nicktoons.
Three-time NBA champion Dwyane Wade was honored with the Legend
Award at this year’s show in recognition of his achievements and
outstanding sportsmanship on and off the court. Upon receiving his
mohawk award, Wade was doused from head to toe in glistening gold
slime.
Co-captain of the U.S. Women’s National Team and two-time World
Cup champion Megan Rapinoe received the Generation Change Award for
2019 at tonight’s ceremony. The award, presented by 13-year-old pro
soccer player Olivia Moultrie, honors Megan’s passion to create
positive changes, build social movements, and make sports and the
world a more equal playing field when it comes gender, race and
LGBTQ+ rights.
Grammy Award-winning global superstar Ciara hit the stage with a
medley of her hit songs--current single “Set,” viral sensation
“Level Up” and her classic hit “1, 2 Step.” Ciara was joined by
dancers from The Lab Creative Arts Studio, home to world champion
dancers and athletes, and surrounded by a laser light
extravaganza.
The slime-filled celebration also featured two star-studded
teams going head to head in the first-ever Kids' Choice Sports
Championship--a mega-competition made up of five grand-scale,
sports-themed challenges that spanned the entire show. Team Slime
Slammers was captained by Lindsey Vonn with Alysa Liu, Kel
Mitchell, Shaun White, Trae Young and Nyjah Huston. Team Orange
Crunch was led by Rob Gronkowski with David Dobrik, Laurie
Hernandez, Olivia Moultrie, Ben Simmons and P.K. Subban.
The Kids' Choice Sports Championship challenges were:
- All-Star Gauntlet: Working to build a 6-foot-tall foam
finger puzzle, the teams were tasked with throwing pies through
basketball nets, crawling through a batting cage, catching giant
fish in a sea of slippery critters, knocking down puzzle pieces
held by giant Michael Strahan targets and climbing a 30-foot
wall.
- Summer Smash N’ Splash: One lucky kid from the audience
joined each team for this wet and slimy challenge. Each team swam
in a pool of balls to find the volleyballs needed to hit targets
that triggered a slime shower which doused their respective
kid.
- Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader Bungee Dance
Challenge: Each team captain’s dance knowledge was put to the
test by game show host John Cena. Tethered together via a bungee
rope, the captains had to reach the buzzer and perform their best
dance moves with each question answered correctly with the help of
brainy fifth graders, Jamir and Saya.
- Pillow Fight Fight Night: David Dobrik and Kel Mitchell
faced off in the ring for a pillow fight like no other. The
challengers’ pillow-fighting abilities were judged for style,
accuracy and power.
- Super Slime Showdown: In the final challenge, team
captains used stationary bikes to pump out slime that their
teammates had to catch in order to fill slime tanks at the finish
line. The first team that filled their tank and slimed themselves
won the championship.
