COLD OPEN In the yard, Telly eagerly awaits as Gordon plugs in a television set. He, Telly (with Freddy), Maria, Luis, Gabi and the kids tune into the WormTV broadcast of the first-ever "Worm Winter Games" from Squiggleville, France, where Slimey is competing. Host Tim McCarver presents the opening ceremonies, as the worms march with their respective flags. Oscar is certain Slimey will win and begins arguing with the French Grouch.
Episode3061
SCENE 1 The games begin with the first event - cross-country skiing. Since the worms are so small, they will ski across a map of France, rather than the whole country. Tim answers all of Telly's questions about the event through the television, and the race begins. Slimey falls down during the race, allowing resident worm Escargo to take first place. Telly is upset that Slimey has lost, but Gordon assures him there's other events for him to win.

SCENE 2 Maria and Gordon go to prepare some sandwiches, as the games resume. The next event is the "Up and Downhill" ski race, where the worms will see who can go up and down a mountain the fastest. Squishta, the Czechoslovakian worm, sets a worm record at 13 seconds. Slimey makes the same time afterwards, but is disqualified - he skied up the mountain, but fell down, which does not meet the rules of the game. Tim throws to a break, while Oscar goes to argue with Judge Renquist.

SCENE 4 Everyone on Sesame Street takes a stretch break before the game coverage returns from commercial. Before the next event, the luge, Tim interviews Slimey's coach, Oscar, about his performance today. Oscar is certain Slimey will win the next event, as sledding is his favorite sport. He recalls when Slimey was just a baby worm, he accidentally fell asleep in a bottlecap, which slid off an ice cube. Soon, Slimey loved to sled and with a new sled from Oscar, he has able to practice every chance he can get (even in bowls of ice cream).
