The pets of the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014 they are a leopard, a polar bear and a hare and have just welcomed athletes from all over the world at the opening ceremony last Friday, February 7, 2014. Among the Spanish athletes present at the opening was the flag bearer Javier Fernández . Athletes will compete until February 23.
The pets were selected in a contest in which more than one million citizens participated and were chosen taking into account the identity of the country, Russia, which they represent. The Leopard, the first election, was supported by the president of Russia Vladimir Putin. Second place went to the White Bear, backed by the Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev and thirdly the Hare. In addition, pets are called like this: Leopard, Bear and Hare. These friendly pets will appear in each of the tests held or in the snow-capped mountains or on the indoor slopes to see, for example, figure skating, hockey, etc. The first mascot of a Winter Olympics appeared in Innsbruck 76 and was a Snowman called Schneemann. The pets of the paralympic games They will be the sunbeam and the snowman.
I really like all the history and the imagination associated with pets that can be seen on your Facebook and that I summarize below:
- He Polar Bear He lives beyond the Arctic Circle in a house where he lives surrounded by ice and equipped with accessories such as a shower that throws snow or a weight equipment made of ice. The polar bear was raised by Arctic explorers from a very early age and it was they who taught him skiing, to enjoy skating, of the curling, of the sleds and of bobsleigh, a spectacular discipline in which even Jamaicans compete!
- The Hare It is the busiest creature in the forest during winter. His friends are surprised because he always finds time to do many activities. The hare participates in all kinds of sports events Because he likes sports a lot. He also loves to sing and dance.
- He leopard He is a rescuer and a mountaineer who lives in the highest branches of a giant tree and is on the highest peak of the snow-capped mountains of the Caucasus. The leopard is willing to help those in need and has rescued the inhabitants of the nearby villages subjected to continuous avalanches. The leopard is a snowboarder experienced and has taught all his friends and neighbors in this discipline. Is a cheerful animal who enjoys the company of others and who likes to dance.
