The Mascot for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games

Winter Olympics mascot Bing Dwen Dwen  is designed based on the giant panda. Bing （冰） is the Chinese character for ice. The word also symbolises purity and strength. “Dwen Dwen” （墩墩） means robust and lively， and it is a common nickname in China for children that implies healthiness， cuteness， and ingenuousness， traits associated with pandas. Bing Dwen Dwen wears a full-body “shell” made out of ice. It seems like an astronaut suit—a tribute to embracing new technologies for a future with infinite possibilities. A brightly colored halo also adorns Bing Dwen Dwen’s face. The halo’s colors represent the latest advanced technologies of the ice and snow sport tracks. With the help of this ice shell， Bing Dwen Dwen can skate， snowboard， and ski with the greatest of ease alongside the Olympic athletes.
