Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, the Five Friendlies will serve as
the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace--and blessings
from China--to children all over the world.
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, the
Five Friendlies also embody the natural characteristics of four of China's most popular animals--the Fish, the
Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow--and the Olympic Flame

The Olympic Games, or Olympics, are an international multi-sport event taking place every four years and
comprising summer and winter games. Beginning in 776 BC, they were originally held in Olympia, Greece until 393
AD. In 1896, they were revived by a French nobleman, Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin, thus beginning the era of
the Modern Olympic Games.
The Summer Olympics (Games of the Olympiad) have been held every fourth year starting in 1896, except in 1916,
1940, and 1944 due to the World Wars.
An event specifically for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, was first held in 1924. The first winter
Olympics competitions were held as a non-Olympic sports festival, but were declared to be official Games by the
International Olympic Committee in 1925. Originally these were held in the same year as the Summer Olympics, but
from 1994 (the Lillehammer Games) the Winter Games and the Summer Games have been held two years apart.

As an image of Olympism, Coubertin thought the rings had deep significance: that of the union between men. He
multiplied the image to create a total of five rings. He designed and commissioned the Olympic flag to mark the
20th anniversary of the IOC's founding, on 23rd June 1914 in Paris
