Hi, I'm Hayley. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:15 | |
Welcome to Newsround. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
Now, kids across Japan
are getting to choose a very, | 0:00:17 | 0:00:21 | |
very important part of the next
Olympic Games that will be | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
hosted in their country. | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
Martin's been finding
exactly what... | 0:00:25 | 0:00:28 | |
What do most big sporting
events have in common? | 0:00:28 | 0:00:30 | |
Amazing athletes... | 0:00:30 | 0:00:31 | |
Superb sport? | 0:00:31 | 0:00:34 | |
Well, yes, but also
mascots, of course! | 0:00:34 | 0:00:42 | |
Every primary school class in Japan
is voting for the mascots they want | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
for the 2020 Olympics
and Paralympic Games, which is to be | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |
held in their home country. | 0:00:50 | 0:00:52 | |
So who's in the running? | 0:00:52 | 0:00:53 | |
Could these be the next Olympic
and Paralympic mascots, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
representing tradition
and the cutting edge tech | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
that Japan is famous for? | 0:00:57 | 0:01:00 | |
Or perhaps this Olympic hopeful
based on a cat and a fox, | 0:01:00 | 0:01:06 | |
partnered up with this Paralympic
hopeful, based on a dog? | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
And last but not least,
this fox and raccoon, red and white, | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
just like the Japanese flag... | 0:01:13 | 0:01:14 | |
TRANSLATION: I like
the character's energetic pose | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
with its clenched fist. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
I like the smiling
face of the character, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:21 | |
which I think is cute! | 0:01:21 | 0:01:23 | |
His chubby cheeks are so cute. | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
Schools across Japan have
got until mid-February | 0:01:26 | 0:01:28 | |
to cast their votes. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
The Olympics and Paralympics
are amongst the biggest sporting | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
events in the world,
so choose carefully guys! | 0:01:33 | 0:01:38 | |
Now, did any of you have a bath last
night or maybe this morning? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:45 | |
Well, we bet you didn't
do this in it. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:48 | |
Don't try this at home! | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
Bathtubs are just
for bathing, right? | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Wrong! | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
People have been known to race them
in the past, | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
some more successfully
than others... | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Oh dear! | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
But now these brothers have made
themselves a flying bathtub. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:07 | |
Wait, what? | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
Yeah, you heard me right. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
They built themselves
a flying bathtub. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:16 | |
It uses the same technologies that
drones use to get airborne, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:20 | |
but obviously the propellers
are a wee bit bigger to get this | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
monstrosity off the ground. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:24 | |
So how long does it take
to build a flying bathtub? | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
Two weeks, apparently. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:29 | |
Not bad when you consider it took
mankind thousands of years | 0:02:29 | 0:02:32 | |
to build the first plane. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
The German government
approved the project, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:37 | |
but they did ban them from going any
higher than 30 metres in the air, | 0:02:37 | 0:02:41 | |
so it's unlikely they'll be
replacing planes any time soon. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
Shame, really... | 0:02:44 | 0:02:50 | |
That is honestly amazing. I thought
that was fantastic. I, to have a | 0:02:53 | 0:02:58 | |
flying bath. | 0:02:58 | 0:02:59 | |
That's it from me. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:00 | |
See you around lunchtime. | 0:03:00 | 0:03:04 |
