The idea of an Olympic mascot was officially approved at the 73rd Session of the International Olympic Committee in Munich 1972. However four years earlier there was an unofficial mascot at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France and at the SUmmer Games in Mexico 1968 there were unofficial dove and jaguar mascots. The first official Olympic mascot was Waldi the dachshund at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games
Since then, mascots have become a major element of the Olympic brand. Mascots act as a vehicle for communicating the Olympic spirit to the general public, especially children and youth. They have come in many shapes and sizes, though they all convey the theme of the Olympic Games, and showcase the distinctive geographical features, history and culture of the host city.
until 1992, most Olympic mascots were created based on an animal unique to the host country. Since then, human or invented figures have been used, and often more than one mascot - the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic Games had four mascots; the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games had three and the 2004 Athens Olympic Games had two, and Beijing had five! London went back to one, but one for each of the Olympic Games and Paralympics, as did Rio.
