Mascots(吉祥物) are great ambassadors(大使)for sporting events. You may remember the five cute "Fuwa(福娃)”dolls from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Now, get ready to meet two new mascots.

On Sept 17,　 there was a giant panda with a white helmet named “Bing Dwen Dwen(冰墩墩)” and a red lantern baby called“Shuey Rhon Rhon”(雪容融) as the two mascots for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games(冬奥会和残奥会). These two mascots show Chinese culture. The giant panda is Chinese national treasure, and the red lantern is an important element(元素) of Chinese New Year celebrations. What’s more, the panda's helmet(头盔) stands for modern society and its white color means the snow and ice of winter sports.

“The two mascots includes elements of traditional Chinese culture and a modern international style, as well as emphasizing the characteristics of ice and snow sports," Beijing 2022 Games executive president(执行主席) Chen Jining told Xinhua.

These two mascots show Chinese characteristics(特征). And their names express Chinese people's understanding of the Olympic spirit(精神). “Bing” and “Shuey” mean “ice” and “snow” in English. “Dwen Dwen” means “honest and lively” and “Rhon Rhon” has the meanings of　 “tolerance(包容)”and “integration(融合)”.

“They can express the Olympic spirit. They warmly invite people all over the world to come and visit China." Chen told Xinhua.

The Winter Olympic Games

The Winter Olympic Games are a big international sports event. The Games take place every four years. The first Winter Olympics, the 1924 Winter Olympics, were in Chamonix, France. There were some ice sports such as skiing, skating, ice hockey, ski jumping and speed skating.

The 24th Winter Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. It will be from 4 to 20 February, 2022. There will be three zones （区域） for the Games: Beijing, Yanqing, and Zhangjiakou.

The Beijing zone will be for the opening and closing ceremonies （仪式） and ice sports. Yanqing zone will be mainly used for skiing competitions. Zhangjiakou zone will be for the snow sports. Both Yanqing and Zhangjiakou zones are on the north-west of the Beijing zone, near the Yanshan Mountain. With pleasant temperatures and a perfect environment, these two places are good choices for the snow sports of Beijing 2022.

Within each zone, the convenient public transport can take players to the stadiums or fields within 5 to 15 minutes from the Olympic Villages. In 2008, the 28th Summer Olympics were held in Beijing. In 2022, Beijing will become the first city to hold both the summer and winter Olympics.
