Mascots Introduced for Vancouver 2010
Vancouver, Canada - November 28, 2007
Quatchi, Miga and Sumi are "the three critters who will meet and greet athletes, visitors, and fans in Vancouver and Whistler for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
Each of the creatures is distinct and special – both in personality and in appearance.
One is big, gentle and shy . . . one is small, mischievous and outgoing . . . and one is a natural-born leader with a passion for protecting the environment.
All three are mythical creatures with roots in local legend. One is a sasquatch. One is a sea-bear. And one is an animal guardian spirit."
They are all unique and they even have a sidekick. Mukmuk was "so cute and such a perfect friend to the other characters" that he just had to be kept as a sidekick.
