Okay, it’s time to introduce the official mascots of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, the Friendlies (Fuwa). There’s one for each color of the Olympic rings. You can’t walk 10 meters in China’s cities without bumping into these colorful little characters.

Beibei is the fish and the cheerleader for the aquatic sports.

Jingjing is the panda and represents strength.

Huanhuan is on fire and is the mascot for ball games.

Yingying is an antelope from Tibet and is of course a runner.

Nini is the gymnast and dressed up like a kite???

When you put the names together, “Beijing huan ying ni”, it means Welcome to Beijing.
