The role of Olympic mascots

The word "Mascotto" originated from the French Provencal word "Mascotto", which was not officially included in the French dictionary until the end of 19, and the English word "Mascotto" evolved from this, meaning a person, animal or thing that can bring good luck.

Mascots, with their dynamic and unique images, embody the Olympic spirit, convey the hosting concept of this Olympic Games, the historical culture and humanistic spirit of the host city, and create a festive atmosphere for the Olympic Games. They are an important carrier to carry forward the Olympic spirit among the general public, especially children.
