     After many days of waiting, the Olympic mascots (吉祥物) were finally chosen at 8pm on November 11,
2005. The Olympic mascots are the Olympic torch (火焰), the fish, the panda, the Tibetan gazelle (藏羚羊) and
the swallow.
     The panda is named "Jingjing". He was chosen because he makes children smile and brings the blessing of
happiness wherever he goes. He was chosen to show China's wish to protect nature.
     Unlike the well-known panda, the Tibetan antelope is considered much sportier than other chosen animals.
"I can run 70-100 km per hour. So you see, I'm a perfect symbol (象征) of the Olympics-'higher, faster and
stronger'." Says the athlete, whose name is "Yingying".
     The fish, "Beibei" stands for prosperity (繁荣). She will represent water sports. "Nini", the swallow stands
for a good luck and wish for a better life. She will represent gymnastics. The Olympics flame, "Huanhuan" gives
out enthusiasm (热情) and best wishes for the Olympics. He will represent ball games.
     Many teenagers are surprised that Beijing will have mascots but very excited that they will have more choices
when shopping for souvenirs.
     "I hope there will be a cartoon in which these mascots are the main characters, doing different sports. So the
whole world will have a better understanding of the Chinese spirit," said one teenager.
