Question

The Olympic Games and Paralympic Games are a major international sport festival held every four years. The Games are separated into Summer and Winter editions, and new mascots (吉祥物) appear at each Games as colourful and cheerful representations (代表) of the country and culture in which the Games are held.

We finally know the mascots of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games. They are two robots with traditional Japanese designs.

The blue and white mascot is for the Olympic Games. It has a strong sense of justice (正义感) and has the power to move around very quickly. The other mascot is for the Paralympic Games. It is pink and white. It also has a special power to talk with stones and the wind and move things with its mind, the BBC reported.

Three sets of mascots were shown to primary school students. They decided the final mascots. More than 205,000 classes helped to select them. It was the first time in Olympic history to ask primary school students to pick the mascots. The mascots will get their names this summer. The winning Mascots will take part in all kinds of events up to and throughout the Tokyo 2020 Games.
