The organisers of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games have unveiled the official Olympic and Paralympic Mascots.
These little Phrygian caps are the mascots for Paris 2024.
Origins of the 2024 Olympic Games Mascots
The Phryges are based on an item of clothing that is a symbol of freedom; has been part of French history for centuries; and dates back to ancient times.
After featuring on certain flags in Latin America before becoming widely popularised by French revolutionaries, the Phrygian cap has now become a familiar symbol in France.
A symbol of revolutions, the French Republic and freedom, the Phrygian cap can be seen on the French national icon Marianne, depicted in busts at town halls across the country as well as on stamps, and is also covered in the national curriculum in schools.

Let's take a closer look...
Who are the Phryges?
These little Phrygian caps are the mascots for Paris 2024.
Colourful red characters based on the famous Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom.
They are convinced that sport can change everything.
The Phrygians have stood shoulder to shoulder with the French people in all the key moments of history.
The French National Archives show records of Phrygian caps worn during the construction of Paris' Notre-Dame cathedral in 1163; during the revolution of 1789; during work to build the Eiffel Tower; and during the Games in 1924.

The Olympic Phryge Mascot
Always thoughtful and an astute strategist, she embarks on adventures only after carefully weighing up all of the pros and cons.
Just like the Olympic athletes, she knows the importance of measuring all the various parameters to achieve her goals.
With her sharp mind, she is modest and prefers to hide her emotions.
The Olympic Phryge will lead the movement of all those who take part in sport.
