Video Featuring British Taekwondo Athlete Aaron Cook's Episode Of Nickelodeon UK's New London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games-Themed Short Series "Nickelodeon's Young Hopefuls"

Below is a streaming video (with transcript) featuring an episode from Nickelodeon UK and Ireland's brand new London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games-themed "Nickelodeon Short" series called "Nickelodeon's Young Hopefuls" (formally "Britain's Young Hopefuls"), in which young British athletes who are hoping to earn medals (gold, silver or bronze) for Team GB at the upcoming London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games (Games of the XXX Olympiad) which London, UK will host later this year during summer 2012, tell Nickelodeon viewers about their personnel stories, such as what inspired them to excel in their chosen sports, how tough their training regimes are, and what winning Gold at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

The streaming video below, which Nickelodeon UK is currently broadcasting on-air to celebrate the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, stars British taekwondo athlete Aaron Cook, who talks about how watching the Power Rangers television series when he was five-years-old inspired him to become an taekwondo athlete, how hard and "relentless" training is, how he's defeated reigning world taekwondo champions, that the "pinnacle" of his career will be to claim a gold medal at London 2012, and that how winning being the best feeling in the world, and that nothing else comes close. Aaron Cook also inspires tomorrow's athletes and Olympic Gold champians to "get Up, get out, and get involved":

"Nickelodeon's Young Hopefuls"

Aaron Cook

I first started loving taekwondo what I was five-years-old.

I used to sit at home and watch the Power Rangers in my front room.

Training's tough, it's relentless.

I've defeated reigning world champions, and ranked number one in the world, but
still, not good enough.

The pinnacle will be to claim a gold medal at London 2012.

Winning is the best feeling in the world.

Nothing else comes close.

Get up, get out, and get involved.

You could be a Power Ranger just like me.
