Michael Phelps received a Nickelodeon Kids Sports Choice legend award, which came with a side of slime -- gold slime.

Phelps, dressed down in sneakers, was pelted by four slime shooters blasting from underneath him on stage in last week’s event that aired Sunday night.

Gymnasts Simone Biles and Laurie Hernandez, sprinter Usain Bolt and boxer Claressa Shields also took home awards.
