What is the purpose and mascot of the Olympic Games?

The "Basic Principles" part of the Olympic Charter points out that the purpose of the Olympic Movement is to "educate young people through sports activities and mutual understanding in the spirit of friendship, unity and fairness without any discrimination, thus contributing to the establishment of a peaceful and better world". .

Mascots are different every year. The mascots of the 2008 Olympic Games are five anthropomorphic Fuwa, which are translated into English as fish, panda, Tibetan antelope, Olympic flame and swallow. Their colors correspond to the Olympic rings one by one, and they have strong visibility and affinity.
