Olympics- Previews- Day- 4
More than 100,000 stuffed dolls (Soohorang and Paralympic mascot Banbdabi) were sold over the past year, Pyeongchang organisers said. The names of the mascots will be announced around August.
The shapeless blue figure with large eyes and red shoes is remembered in Olympic folklore, for arguably being the worst mascot ever presented.
Helpfully, it also has a magical power that enables it "to move anywhere instantaneously". Although the official Mascot Selection Panel performed the initial processes to short-list the remaining designs, the students had the ultimate say in the winning mascot pairing through voting that took place from December to February 22nd, with no votes being accepted from the general public. It has a dignified inner strength and a kind heart that loves nature.
It was deemed to be too similar to the logo of a Belgian theatre and a separate Spanish design. "This new partnership is the first step toward localisation in Japan to further engage fans and new audiences with the Olympic Channel brand in between the Games as we strive to create even more excitement ahead of Tokyo 2020". Its superpower is moving things by simply looking at them.

US Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Govt Appeal Against DACA
The administration argued Obama exceeded his powers under the Constitution when he bypassed Congress and created DACA . A setback in the Supreme Court for the Trump administration is good news, at least for now, for DACA recipients.
Mascots are massive in Japan, the land of Hello Kitty and Pokemon and there are literally thousands representing everything from small communities to prisons.
Designer Ryo Taniguchi seemed overwhelmed at the decision.
The organizing committee of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics said Wednesday that the characters with traditional kumi ichimatsumon checkered patterns were chosen as mascots for the quadrennial sporting events. The Olympic mascots debuted four years after the city hosted the event. They're definitely one of the more memorable choices we've seen, and make a lot more sense than London's sentient steel the country used for the Olympics in 2020.
The Tokyo Olympics will officially kick off on July 24, 2020, and are set to run through until August 9, while the Paralympics runs from August 25 to September 6, according to CNN.
