The 2024 Paris Olympic Games Committee on Monday unveiled the mascot for the international sporting event. Organisers hope to sell two million of these made-in-China toys in the shape of the 'Phrygian' cap, a symbol of the French republic and revolutionary spirit.
Tony Estanguet, president of the Paris 2024 organising committee, hailed it as a "special day" and announced that the summer Games' mascot would "break with tradition" and not be in the shape of an animal.
