0:00:02 > 0:00:03This is The Let's Go Club, but mini!
0:00:03 > 0:00:06Expect making, exploring,
0:00:06 > 0:00:09supersizing, dancing,
0:00:09 > 0:00:11fact-finding and laughing.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14So, get ready for more fun from The Let's Go Club.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Today, we're finding out all about sport.
0:00:22 > 0:00:25Awesome goals, amazing tricks,
0:00:25 > 0:00:28with bats and balls, clubs and sticks.
0:00:28 > 0:00:31Running and jumping for crowds that roar,
0:00:31 > 0:00:33it's all about the final score.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35Let's get to those facts.
0:00:35 > 0:00:39First up, hockey pucks were once made from cow poo.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41- COW MOOS - Eurgh!
0:00:41 > 0:00:42But true.
0:00:42 > 0:00:47The first ice hockey games were played in Canada on iced-over ponds.
0:00:47 > 0:00:50And before anyone had thought to invent a puck,
0:00:50 > 0:00:54players used chunks of frozen cowpats instead.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Thankfully, hockey was played outside,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58so any smell wouldn't have hung around.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02But you wouldn't want to be following that puck on a windy day.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03Eurgh!
0:01:03 > 0:01:08Next, golf is the one sport that has been played on the moon.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10Swing!
0:01:10 > 0:01:14Astronaut Alan Shepard hit two golf balls on the moon.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16His first swing didn't go so well,
0:01:16 > 0:01:19but the second hit was a flier.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23Now, don't be thinking it's because Alan was a great golfer.
0:01:23 > 0:01:26His ball travelled further on the moon than it would have on earth.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28There's no atmosphere and little gravity up there
0:01:28 > 0:01:31to slow the golf ball down.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34Out in space, we'd all be awesome golfers.
0:01:34 > 0:01:35Four!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41Next up, cricket is the only sport
0:01:41 > 0:01:43to have a built-in lunch break.
0:01:43 > 0:01:45Stumped?
0:01:45 > 0:01:47Cricket games last a long time.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Some stretch out for five whole days,
0:01:50 > 0:01:53so it makes sense that the teams stop to eat now and again.
0:01:53 > 0:01:57You can't bat and bowl on an empty stomach.
0:01:57 > 0:01:58But that's not all.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01Play stops for an afternoon tea break, too.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Although, it's not because the players get a bit peckish.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07It all started in Australia a long time ago,
0:02:07 > 0:02:11when players would take a break to get out of the blazing sun.
0:02:11 > 0:02:13But the idea of a cuppa caught on
0:02:13 > 0:02:16and eventually became a proper part of the game.
0:02:16 > 0:02:18How's that?!
0:02:18 > 0:02:20And finally,
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Olympic champions don't always win gold medals.
0:02:24 > 0:02:25Nope.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27At the 1900 Paris Olympics,
0:02:27 > 0:02:30the winners were given all sorts of things.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33Sculptures, money,
0:02:33 > 0:02:36trophies and paintings.
0:02:36 > 0:02:39The organisers thought these prizes would be much more valuable.
0:02:39 > 0:02:40That may be true,
0:02:40 > 0:02:43but they're not very easy to wear.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Fact.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48You can be part of The Let's Go Club, too.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Grab a grown-up and head to the CBeebies website.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Remember, we're the club that never closes.
