The Bruce Jenners and FloJos of tomorrow will get their first taste of competition at the Kohl Children`s Museum next week. Beginning Saturday, the museum will present its own version of the Goodwill Games going on in Seattle. ”As soon as you can walk, you can participate,” a representative said. The ”junior olympics” opens this weekend with a parade and a long-jump contest. Later in the week, kids can test their skills in mini-basketball, indoor marathons, gymnastics and Four Squares. After each event, everybody gets a medal that they make themselves. The museum hopes the games will get young children, 2- to 10-year-olds, hooked on sports. ”There`s so many sports out there,” a representative said. ”They may not like one, but they might like another one.”
