Vancouver 2010 Olympic Mascots Miga Quatchi Sumi and Mukmuk

Vancouver 2010 Olympic Mascots Miga Quatchi Sumi and Mukmuk

Miga the Sea Bear : Miga is a snowboarding sea bear inspired by the legends of the Pacific Northwest First Nations tales of orca whales that transform into bears when they arrive on land. Part Spirit Bear, a rare white bear unique to BC, Miga’s outgoing spirit and high energy draw her to action and adventure. Quatchi the Sasquatch : Quatchi, a shy and gentle giant, is a sasquatch; a popular figure in local native legends of the Pacific West Coast. The sasquatch reminds us of the mystery and wonder that exists in the natural world. Although Quatchi loves all winter sports, he’s especially fond of hockey and dreams of becoming a world-famous goalie. Sumi the Thunderbird : Sumi is an animal spirit who wears the hat of the orca whale, flies with the wings of the mighty thunderbird and runs on the furry legs of the black bear. With a name that is derived from the Salish word sumesh meaning guardian spirit, Sumi is passionate about the environment and is a fan of all Paralympic sports. Mukmuk the Marmot : Mukmuk is a small and friendly Vancouver Island marmot who always supports and cheers loudly for his friends during games and races. Mukmuk, the mascot sidekick, is considered an honourary member of the team and enjoys surprising his friends by popping up on occasion to share in the spirit and fun of the Games. Mukmuk gets his name from the word muckamuck, Chinook jargon for food, because he loves to eat when he’s not playing with his mascot friends.

    how do you get onto the? mascot games?

  11. fiercefunky says:

    You’re absolutely right. Creating mascots has to be one of the all time easiest tasks; pick locally relevant animals, anthropomorphise them and make them cute. Viola. It’s not rocket science. Some pretentious moron at London 2012 thought s/he was being really clever trying to reinvent the wheel. The result is ridiculous mascots that literally look? like pieces of garbage and they will sell VERY little merchandise. All because some idiot had to be “different.”
