Olympic Mascots, Ranked Worst to First
Ever since 1972, the Olympics have featured official mascots tied to the host city/country of both the Summer and Winter Games. How do they all stack up against each other? How does your favourite mascot fare in this elite group of 23 groupings?
46 mascots, Olympic and Paralympic, have been included here...plus one officially designated mascot "sidekick".
Enjoy!
Note: I do not own Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Franz Liszt, but this arrangement is free to use. I also do not own any of these Olympic or Paralympic mascots...but I enjoy and appreciate them. Well, most of them.

Vinicius is the mix from all brazilian fauna, meanwhile Tom is the mix from all brazilian flora. So Vinicius can be a monkey, a cat, a jaguar, a snake, and much more
Beibei,Jingjing,Huanhuan,Yingying and nini.If their names gather togheter just looks like this: Beijing huan ying ni Beijing welcomes you
In my opinion as a Canadian, I would say that the Vancouver 2010 mascots are the best looking mascots in Olympic history. Not only do they represent their province well but they also show inclusion especially with Sumi as the Paralympic mascot and how it shows him using the specialized sport equipment used in the Paralympic Games.
My favorite mascots: 1) Hodori 3)Wenlock and Mandeville 4)Miga,Sumi and Quatchi 5)and the fuwa Last but not least...the realy FAVORITE mascot that i likely choosen... VINICIUS AND TOM!!

Vancouver 2010’s my favourite Olympiad so I’m glad the mascots for Vancouver are number 1. Miga goes really well with the Vancouver Canucks’ mascot Fin, as both have the features of killer whales, or orcas, which are known for residing in the Pacific Ocean, which Vancouver is right next to
I used to love Hodori character when I was a kid. That's more than 30 years ago... Damn.
Sam is the most american thing i have ever seen lol. But if you update the list i think 2018 pyeongchangs mascot is one of my favorites

I think the Fuwa should be #1, if only because most of the others are pretty interchangeable and could be used for almost anything, but the Fuwa could ONLY be Olympics mascots and ONLY for the Beijing Olympics. Plus, they are just *loaded* with symbolism: Olympic sports, Chinese animals, art styles, regions, and time periods, Eastern elements…they’ve got it all.
Cobi y Petra son mis mascotas favoritas representa mucho a la cultura catalana y más con su emblemático lema de "Amics per sempre" (Friends for life)
No, the snowlets in mascot were actually beautiful
Respect for putting Vučko in top 5💪💪💪

Cool stuff man! I actually own a Quatchi page you posted this video to! I totally agree with your number 1! At the time of the Olympics I was in love with the mascots for Vancouver, especially where I'm Canadian! The only change I would have made is I would have ranked Beijing 2008's mascots higher, I loved those guys! Great video though!

He could turn into anything he wanted. he also had his own computer game, Sega platform video game, and his own cartoon. izzy could do anything which was a great message for kids in achieving your dreams. I know that sounds corny but I love him. not to mention the sales from his merchandise combined with corporate sponsors allowed Atlanta to end their Olympics with no debt and actually a surplus. No tax dollars were used, most Olympics end with cities heavily in debt. go atl!!

Hello from Calgary. By the way, the last time I was over at the Canada Sports Hall of Fame, which is based in the city and Canada Olympic Park, it showcased both Howdy and Hidy at the front entrance there. However, like the Olympic Experience in Richmond, I hope that the CSHoF will be a member of the Olympic Museums Network in the future.
I need to get at least a pin or keychain featuring the mascots missing in my collection . I have coins with the Sochi mascots; a lighter with Sam, the eagle; a magnet with Vinicius, the cat; a pin with the Tokio mascots; a keychain with 2008 Beijing mascots; figurines from the London Olympic and logos from Atlanta, Turin and Barcelona Olympics. Soon I will add the mascots of the Beijing Winter Olympics. I also collect the World Cup mascots as well. Like my avatar featuring Zakumi the leopard from South Africa 2010.

My mascot for the new Beijing Olympics are the 5 rabbits of Beijing because saw pic of rabbits in art when I typed in rabbits in Beijing I saw art . the back story for them are they used be rabbits in a farm but one day the farm shut down and the rabbits quickly escaped and one day the gods of Olympics came and give them the powers of the air water land time and weather. Pretty cool right?
Who wants the olympics games back on with an new mascot this year?,gave it a like👍👍👍

5:56 There is a knockoff toy of one of these. But this isn't the first times a mascot from olympic, expo, or game has been ripped off with bump n go toys. There's one of Haibao (some call him Toothpaste man or Blue Gumby), the mascot of the Shanghai 2010 Expo that is in a go kart, one with him and a female version of him doing tango, and one with him with maracas. The only official merch of him is a plush of him that was sold at Shanghai Expo.

I don’t really understand why there was a period when mascots came in trios. A solo mascot is a strong symbol, but a group of three unique characters just dilutes the brand. Especially when they don’t have a strong uniform design, unlike the Fuwa with their sentai team look, or the more recent olympic/paralympic pairs, like the London and Tokyo mascots. Those look like they belong together, and you can use either one alone without it being confusing. In contrast, the Sydney/Vancouver/Sochi/etc trios looks like the design committee couldn’t decide what local animal to go with and just went “all of them”.
