viking mama Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 They had to build everything new!? That's insane. Also, the mascots are pretty cute. Generic, but cute. Yah - a big improvement over that cycloptic pair of whatchamacallits, Wenlock & Mandeville from the 2012 London Games. One was given an unfortunate & un-ignorable blue splotch that looked like a pants-wetting? https://www.google.c...iw=1280&bih=694 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like Muk-Muk the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Do any of you like a nation's uniform from the Sochi Opening Ceremonies? If I was there...I'd be trying to trade for 1 of those Andorran Sweaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mukmuk was a side kick, not the official mascot. Quachi and sumi were. Guess you missed the protest in 2010 to make mukmuk a mascot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muk Muk was very cute & went somewhat under-appreciated. Clearly, Quatchi was the 1 who stole the show! http://seattletimes.com/html/olympicoutsiders/2010997245_shopping_for_quatchi.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess you missed the protest in 2010 to make mukmuk a mascot I didn't miss it, I ignored the 'side kick' label and considered him a mascot from the beginning. And given that by the end of the games, I saw more Mukmuk merchandise in stores and on people than any of the other 3 'real' mascots, I'd say other people didn't care he was a 'side kick' either.

shiznak Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Parrot is yet to go. he scored the highest in qualy, and world champ I remember in Vancouver that there were a lot of athletes who were favourite to medal, but cracked under pressure. Erik Guay and Manuel Osborne-Paradis in alpine, Charles Hamelin in 1000m and 1500m, Melissa Hollingsworth, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddhas Hand Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Watching the Final now , you can totally see that the riders are strugggling with the jumps , the take-offs are very steep, throwing them up rather than out , look how most riders are tight in the air but are "reaching" for their landing.
