Mascots of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics
Games
Meet
the cute talismans, representing
the winter
Olympics Soohorang and Bandabi :)
Soohorang, the mascot of the Olympic
Winter Games
PyeongChang 2018 took its motif from white tiger, which
has
been long considered Korea¡¯s guardian animal! ¡°Sooho¡±, means
protection
in Korean, ¡°Rang¡± comes from the middle letter of
¡°Ho-rang-i¡±, the Korean
word for ¡°Tiger¡±, and is also the last letter
of ¡°Jeong-seon A-ri-rang¡±, a cherished traditional folk song of
Gangwon province, where the Games will be held. Those two
words symbolize protection offered to the
athletes, spectators
and other participants in the 2018 Games.
Bandabi,
the mascot of the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic
Winter Games took its motif from
the Asiatic black bear.
The Asiatic black bear or ¡°ban-dal-ga-seum-gom¡±
(the
bear with a half-moon mark on the chest) symbolizes
strong willpower and
courage in the
Korean folklore.
¡°Banda¡± is derived from ¡°ban-dal,¡± the Korean word for the
half-moon. ¡°Bi¡± stands for celebration of the Games. Bandabi
is awarm-hearted friend who takes the lead for
equality and harmony and encourages
athletes
to push themselves beyond their limits :)
