The mascots for Paris 2024 have been revealed with President Tony Estanguet saying the designs represent the "adventure" of the organising committee.
The Olympic Phryge and the Paralympic Phryge - Las Phyrges - were unveiled at an official presentation in Saint-Denis. Phrygian caps are known to represent freedom and the pursuit of liberty in the country, and were associated with the French Revolution.
Furthermore, full-size Phryges will be ambassadors of the Paris 2024 Games – and will tour the nation in order to promote the event. Julie Matikhine, a brand manager of Paris 2024, said via Eurosport : "We looked for meaning, that the mascots have something to say. Before the form, the substance.
