took home coveted orange mohawked blimps at Nickelodeon’s Kids’
Choice Sports 2018, the only show that celebrates the intersection
of kids’ culture with their favorite athletes. Hosted by Houston
Rockets’ point guard and former NBA All-Star MVP Chris Paul, Kids’
Choice Sports 2018 was taped live Thursday, July 19, from Barker
Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., and will premiere Friday, July 20,
at 8 p.m. (ET/PT) as a simulcast on Nickelodeon, TeenNick and
Nicktoons.
Motor-sport pioneer Danica Patrick was honored with the Legend
Award at this year’s show, in recognition of her trailblazing
achievements and outstanding sportsmanship. Upon receiving her
golden mohawked award, Patrick received the ultimate honor, being
doused from head to toe in glistening gold slime.
During the show, kid-athlete Yamato Nguessan competed in the
Kids’ Choice Sports 2018 Half-Court Shot, and walked away with a
trip to Nickelodeon Universe at Mall of America.
The slime-filled celebration also featured superstar athletes
competing in four grand-scale, sports-themed challenges:
- In the Michael Strahan-hosted Shake N’
Break challenge, P.K. Subban, Mikaela Shiffrin, Ibtihaj Muhammad
and P.J. Tucker gave the classic Musical Chairs dance game a sporty
twist, dancing popular viral dances in the Shake Zone and breaking
funny and messy items in the Break Zone, ending with a race through
a sneaker box wall to be the first to hit the buzzer and win the
chance to present the first award.
- The JoJo Siwa-hosted Battle Carts
Royale challenge tested the throwing accuracy of Winter Olympics
medalists Shaun White, Chloe Kim, Maia Shibutani and Alex
Shibutani. as teams of two raced against each other in shopping
carts, tossing out t-shirts to the audience in a race to hit a
final target and trigger the dunking of their Nickelodeon Knight
Squad teammate into a tank holding 1500 gallons of slime.
- In the Slime Dunk challenge, two real
kid superfans got the opportunity to shoot free throws in a
one-on-one challenge, for the chance to dunk their basketball
idols, Candace Parker and Isaiah Thomas, into six-foot-high
slime-filled dunk tanks!
- And to celebrate the return of Double
Dare, Liza Koshy and Marc Summers brought the iconic Double Care
obstacle course to Kids’ Choice Sports. In a special end-of-show
moment, host Chris Paul fulfilled a childhood fantasy, running the
super-sized and super messy course in a head-to-head showdown
against the most decorated Olympian in history, Michael
Phelps.
