Vucko is still everywhere in Sarajevo, he has basically become one of the cities mascots. I dont blame them, i love the little guy

No shout out for the 2000 Paralympic mascot Lizzy? Who was so popular that she not only upstaged the Olympic trio AND Fatso, but she had a comeback as mascot for the Australian paralympic team in 2021, with brand new artwork done by a straight up furry artist AND IT SHOWS.

Fun fact: Vinicius' name is inspired by Brazilian poet Vinicius de Moraes and Tom's name by Brazilian singer Tom Jobim. They were the creators of one of the most famous Brazilian songs: The Girl from Ipanema!!

I’m Brazilian and therefore biased towards Vinicius. My little brother also has a vinicius plush. Also why hasn’t this man gotten more attention this is a good video and the best tierlist I’ve ever seen.

I'm not Brazilian but Vinicius is just perfectly designed, I love him. You got an amazing mascot. Over here we got Wenlock who is... less good.

So you would put this on the S tier of tierlists?

Cobi is my favorite of these mascots. He, along with Petra, just look so soft and adorable, and they don’t have any distracting details or background lore like the other mascots. Waldi, Phevos and Athena, the Vancouver Mascots, Vinicius and Tom, and the Uterus-looking Phryges are other favorites of mine as well. I also really like the mascot for the 1968 Winter games in Grenoble, Schuss. He has a really stupid, but silly and retro looking design you can’t forget: a ball with a face with one leg on some skis.

so glad you gave my boy Vinicius his props. I'm not even from Brazil, but man do I love that mascot

Wenlock looks like a pokemon that doesnt evolve

Ok Wenlock is now in D tier it's nice but yeah it's kinda cool

Izzy is the most 90s looking character ever, no context just vibes

Call me biased, but Vancouver in b tier? They did a fantastic job representing native cultures in vancouver and were EXTREMELY marketable

yeah, I might be biased for having a Vancouver 2010 DVD and playing flash games with the mascots so they're the first thing that comes to my mind when thinking Vancouver (the second is Canada), but on my personal tier list they're S tier (and the first korean tiger goes to B instead)

I remember seeing a Saturday morning cartoon pilot featuring Izzy. It was akin to having a stroke.

Hey, I want to say that the 2026 olympics also have a mascot. Not, one, not two, but eight! They are Tina, a white stoat, Milo, a brown, amputeed stoat (as it was born without leg, both have a brothership, Tina is female) and six Flos, a flower-shaped snowflake sidekicks.

Izzy represents Atlanta because Atlanta is just....very special...

Powder, Copper and Coal are S tear for me They look like the main characters of a cartoon and they're very cute

Vinicius and Tom are my absolute favorite. C to Izzy for trying to exist. I mean we didnt want you to, but we love your enthusiasm

As a french guy, I absolutely hate the mascots we got for 2024, they look like something they shouldn't even represent. We were close to have "Toufeu" and "Touflamm" (literally "all-fire", and "all-flame") as mascots who were some cute looking chickens... But nah, they decided otherwise. Full-on disappointment.

You did Powder, Copper, and Coal so dirty! They are top tier!

Vancouver 2010 mascots sounds like it should at least be A tier.

Quick tip: about Vučko, it's pronounced Vu-sh-ko

I had the same thoughts when I had to make a presentation about the olympic mascots. Vinicius and Tom are my favorites.

I live in Atlanta, I do personally agree with u that our mascot sucks, your right it has nothing to do with Atlanta what so ever. However there was a 30 minute special that aired on tv about Izzy, and it made me kinda change my mind about him, he is still not the best mascot in my opinion but I don’t exactly HATE it anymore. I guess when I saw him move in animation it made me change my mind about him. Here are my top 3 favorite mascots 1. Vucko 2. Snowletz 3. Sam

Did you really put Vuko higher than Misha???

Unrelated, his name is actually read Vuchko (also it's an actual name that people have, which is pretty cool)

Vinicius and Tom's design gives me a lot of adventure time art style vibe And i love it

vucko is the goat he is undefeatable.

Also, I feel like if Salt Lake gets an NHL franchise, they could reuse copper since his favorite sports are ice hockey and curling. Just wait till you see him in a winter classic or stadium series

You just can't even subtly hide your bias against China, can you? "I'd like to put Fuwa into A tier but that dampens the experience"? Seriously?

So lil thing on the Snowlets of Nagano, their drawn like that cause children from Nagano schools designed them, no professionals. Therefore they look like a kid drawed them

You missed Schuss, the first Winter Olympics mascot. He's extremely creepy

Also Waldi is the best : < lol. I know we are all allowed our own sense of taste.

The Olympics were adding rainbow colors to logos before it was cool .

Having an art degree with a minor in Art History, if you were to tell me that Barcelona's Mascot was inspired by Cubism, I wouldn't believe it because Cubism was all about using flat shapes to make a 3D effect. I think the Mascot's design would have conveyed that message if it had actual shapes within the design. That's just me though. My fav are the recent Tokyo mascots because I got the anime reference and I love the patterns. But yeah huge anime bias lol. Let's hope LA and Milan don't drop the ball for their Olympic mascots for the 2028 Summer and 2026 Winter Olympics.

This is Likely Fan-Boying but Peppino & Peppina for 2026.

If you didn’t put Vucko in the top tier, I would have to question you. Vucko is the BEST mascot ever. I do, however, question not giving Magique an F!!! It’s bad. Very bad. (Also Powder, Copper, and Coal are pretty cute. They could be bumped up one level for that - especially since you gushed over Rio and PyeongChang - which aren’t bad, but certainly not that much better than Salt Lake’s.)

God bless 20/20 Ex Olympian mission.

I loved Sam the Olympic eagle and Roni the raccon

Wenlock, Mandeville, Vinicius, and Tom gave me PTSD after my country placed 3rd twice

A-Tier! Woo hoo!

14:23 i personally put him in s tier also his design does remind me of one thing Japan loves to do Making cutesy creatures like hello kitty and animal crossing and much more Japan really loves making cute creatures so for me him and his girlfriend does represent a part of japan even tho it’s not Olympic ish

6:25 Gomduri: im first paralympic mascot :( im in 1988

I thought Wenlock was a good modern new millenia type design that made sense for the Olympics after the year 2000. Now, Wenlock was actually made as one of a set of characters they were said to be made from dropped bits of molten steel leftover from the construction of the Olympic stadium dome, which gave them a strong connection to the Olympic games venue, the story went on to say the construction worker who took those two dropped bits of leftover steel recycled them into the Wenlock dolls for his grandkids so there is the practice of taking leftover construction scrap/waste and recycling it into useful home goods, rather then letting it go to waste, you have family I think the Wenlock dolls had good strong valuable symbolism without overdoing it. Making the Wenlock dolls a strong contender for the A slot.

Cobi is one that is often underrated,

I’m happy for vüko😊

Aaaaaaaaa nooooo snowlets are s tier!!!!!!!!

Ya~ hoo ~~ both Korea mascot makes in S tier
