TheOlympic mascots are fictional characters who represent the cultural heritage of the location where theOlympic Games are taking place. They are often an animal native to the area or human figures.

One of the first Olympic mascots was created for the1968 Winter Olympics inGrenoble; a stylized cartoon character on skis namedSchuss. The first official Olympic mascot appeared in the1972 Summer Olympics inMunich, and was arainbow-coloredDachshund dog namedWaldi.[1]
