- S is for sports.
Welcome to Sesame Sports Street.
Well, I'm still working on the name.
Today is very exciting because I have
a very special guest.
Her name is Chloe Kim,
and she's a winner of an Olympic gold medal.
Hi Chloe Kim.
- Hi Big Bird.
- Chloe Kim, what is your favorite winter sport?
- Well--
- Mine is hockey.
Or curling.
Hockey or curling, it kinda goes back and forth.
Oh here, look.
That's hockey.
And that's curling.
It's really a sport, no kidding.
So, what's your favorite winter sport, Chloe Kim?
- Big Bird, it's actually the sport that I do,
which is snowboarding.
- Wonderful, snow boarding.
Well, I suppose you must use a board made out of snow,
right?
- Actually the snowboard isn't made out of snow.
So, it's a hard board like this.
You can see it's thin and long.
The sport is called snowboarding
because the board goes over the snow.
- Oh, the board goes over the snow.
(laughs)
Got it.
- When someone snowboards they ride on top of the board.
- Oh.
Hey uh, what are those two things there?
- See, your feet go in here.
So it's be like this.
Then you can snowboard down a snowy hill, like this.
- [Big Bird] Fascinating.
- Or you can even snowboard in a half pipe,
which is what I do.
Check it out.
- Oh, who's that?
- [Chloe] That's me.
I'm wearing special snowboarding clothes
to keep me warm and dry, a helmet to protect my head,
and goggles to protect my eyes.
Dropping into the half pipe here,
into a back side air,
this is a crippler seven,
which is kinda like a back-flip spin,
and this is a front side 1080.
- You landed that.
Wow.
That is an amazing sport.
Snowboarding.
And here I thought there were two winter sports,
and it turns out there are three.
- There's actually a lot more.
- Really, there are?
We're gonna have to have you back.
Thank you Chloe Kim for being our guest
on Sesame Sports Street.
Sports.
I'm still working on the name.
- How about S is for Sports?
- I love it.
(laughs)
Hey, could you play hockey on a snowboard,
while curling?
Is that one of the other sports you mentioned?
- [Chloe] No.
