Mascot Sightings

[moonvine]

I just saw him boogying before an alpine event. SO CUTE! Can people purchase him? Or is he only for medal winners?

You can purchase him! Although it's a bit hard at the moment because they keep selling out, the factories that make him were closed for Chinese New Year, but now they're open again.

In the meantime, he can often be found struggling against doors :


Also of great importance...he has an official Twitter tag with an adorable emoji of him at the end!

(Although I'm not sure Bing Dwen Dwen is a "he" as apparently Olympic mascots are meant to be genderless, so you can use he/she/them as you wish )

This tweet made me laugh! (I do feel kind of guilty for chuckling, but I honestly can't help myself.) Bing Dwen Dwen trips after performing a single-revolution jump, and this specifically reminded me of Roman Sadovsky's single Axel in the TE FS where he stumbled on the landing.

I'm not sure actually?

I thought I saw an official online shop, but when I look up Bing Dwen Dwen merchandise it doesn't come up.

They are apparently still working on getting him to the official shops in Beijing.

Here's an article about it: https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202202/13/WS6208f508a310cdd39bc864bc_1.html

They say there should be sufficient stock by the Paralympics. Hopefully we can get one.
