Three of these bear striking similarities to our own 2010 Mascots.

It's truly disappointing that our 2010 Logo is based on someone else's sculpture from the Yukon Pavilion at Expo 86. Now it seems our mascots and the idea of multiple mascots has been ripped off from the Chinese Olympics.

So much for actual creativity.

Anyway at what point do we begin to see representation of the heritage of Vancouver and British Columbia.

At this point we might as well assume that our Olympic theme song will be a rip off of some obscure Karaoke number discovered in a bar somewhere in Japan.
salt lake city had three mascots before beijing as did sydney

sugi is really the mascot for the paralympics
