 	COLD OPEN 	Big Bird, Telly, Luis, Mr. Handford, Celina, and some kids (Steven Casado and Melissa Lopez) have gathered inside Hooper's Store, awaiting the broadcast of the Worm Summer Games as an announcer (voiced by Martin P. Robinson) introduces the event.
 	SCENE 1 	WORM-TV reporter Tim McCarver covers the games being held in Wiggly City, Georgia, which begins with a parade of the worms who have come all over the world to compete. Slimey marches in last, representing The United States of America. Oscar cheers him on as his coach, along with other international Grouches.

The Italian and Chinese Worms have difficulty finishing the course, and Slimey once again comes out victorious. Tim tries bringing up Slimey's losses in the winter games while interviewing Oscar, which earns him another rant from the irritated Grouch. ("You were just harping on the negative like you media people always do!")Blooper: Joey Mazzarino's Italian Grouch wanders into the scene, calling for his worm whom he mistakes Slimey for. He runs by at the end of the scene yelling for his worm, eliciting laughter from Tim and the crew.
