Poll: Which Summer Olympics Mascot Was Best?
Posted in: Uncategorized
Olympics mascots have long been a source of joy and … well … mockery. Now the Rio Summer Games have brought us Vinicius, a cartoon character described as “a mixture of all the Brazilian animals.” But can Vinicius compare with Cobi, the Barcelona games’ Cubist-style Catalan sheepdog? What about Wenlock of London, a living steel girder from Olympic Stadium with a taxi light on its head? And then of course there were Sam and Misha, adorable Cold War enemies. Make your choice known.
