  • The Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics has unveiled its mascots for the upcoming sports event in the form of two cartoon-style characters shaped like traditional Phrygian caps, which signified freedom during the French Revolution.
  • The soft conical caps with bent apexes became a symbol of liberty during the French Revolution of 1789 to 1799, when they were worn by the revolutionaries.
  • The Phrygian caps were favoured over animals, who have mostly been the first choice in other Olympics - such as the 'Bing Dwen Dwen' panda at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing this year.
  • The Olympic Games will be held from July 26 to Aug 11 and the Paralympics from Aug 28 to Sept 8.
