2008 Olympic Mascots - The Fuwa (GALLERY)
The Fuwa

The 2008 Beijing Olympics have been enveloped in unending political controversy so it’s been tough for some sports fans to get excited. Putting those aspects aside, I really love the five Olympic mascots collectively called the Fuwa.

“The cute Fuwa group consists of five members according to the traditional five elements: Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini,’ says Ahboon. “Each of the five names is designed to look like a plausible name for a small child, while also achieving a more complex task: when the first syllable of each name is put together, it sounds nearly identical to the phrase ‘北京欢迎你’, Běijīng huānyíng nǐ which means ‘Beijing welcomes you.’” Pretty clever!

I really like these pretty, innocent-looking mascots, and can’t wait to see them at the Beijing games, which are now less than three months away!
