Paris Olympics Mascot
Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics mascots unveiled
Paris: The organisers of the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics unveiled the identity of the mascots in a press conference held here on Monday.
The mascots are the 'Olympic Phryge' and the 'Paralympic Phryge', which are small 'Phrygian caps', which embody a strong symbol of liberty for France and the world.
Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024, said: "The Phrygian cap is a symbol of liberty. Since it is familiar to us and appears on our stamps and the pediments of our town halls, it also represents French identity and spirit.
"The Paris 2024 mascots also speak volumes about our commitment to a more inclusive society. One of them even wears a prosthetic running blade, raising the profile of Para athletes and people with disabilities.
"Together, as well as embodying our Games, our mascots will carry them forward, showcasing the ambition of Games that are truly revolutionary."
The Olympic and Paralympic mascots will also come to life. As ambassadors of the Paris 2024 Games, they will be heading throughout France to meet the public in the run up to 2024, will attend all the major events of Paris 2024 throughout the country and all the biggest sporting and cultural events taking place in France.
