In addition to his mascot duties Sam was featured in a cartoon as a detective who used the magic of the five Olympic Rings. These two happy children were the first mascots in human form. Their names refer to historical figures from the 13th century - Hakon IV Hakonson, King of Norway and Princess Kristin, his aunt - who are very important to the history of Norway and the Lillehammer region.
Izzy was originally called "Whatizit," which is appropriate since this mascot isn't an animal, a human, or an object. His name was chosen by American children from over 3, suggestions from children in 16 different countries. These four owls are also known as Snowlets, They each come together to represent the four elements and four years that make up an Olympiad: Sukki fire , Nokki air , Lekki earth , and Tsukki water.
This is the first time in Olympic history that there were three official mascots: Syd is a reference to Sydney, Olly to the Olympics, and Millie to a new millenium. Syd is a duck-billed platypus, Olly is an echidna, and Millie is a spiny anteater - three typical Australian animals.

Phevos wears blue to symbolize the sea and Athena wears orange to symbolize the sun. You can tell by their shapes, but in Italian Neve means "snow" Gliz means "ice". So it's no surprise that one is a snowball and one is an ice cube.
Together, they make the perfect conditions for Winter Olympics. Each mascot bears a wish: Beibei blue is a fish and wishes prosperity; Jingjing black is a panda and wishes happiness; Yingying yellow is an antelope and wishes good health; Nini green is a swallow and wishes good luck; and Huanhuan red is fire and emits the passion of sport. Quatchi is a sasquatch they do exist! They also have a friend called Mukmuk , inspired by a rare type of marmot that lives only on an island in Vancouver.
This strange mascot takes his name from the twon of Much Wenlock in Shropshire. So perhaps unleashing oddly-shaped mascots whose single eye was a camera lens — was a bridge too far. Beijing, host of the Winter Olympic Games, recently unveiled its own mascot, named Bing Dwen Dwen , a wide-eyed panda in a suit of ice. Paris, the next city to host the Summer Games, will unveil its mascot either late this year or in IE 11 is not supported. For an optimal experience visit our site on another browser.
