The Fuwas are created for the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008. The word "fuwa" means "good luck dolls". There are altogether five of them. Their names are Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini. If you put it together, it will spells Beijing Huanying Ni in mandarin which means Beijing welcome you. Now I will tell you information about the fuwas.
Beibei, the blue female fuwa, is design like a fish. Her element is water, and she represent prosperity. She's good at aquatic sports.
Jingjing, the black panda-like guy, as you know, is design like a Giant Panda. His element is wood, and he brings happiness to everyone. He got some fat-looking muscles because he likes practicing judo, and is good at weighting, and other stuffs too.
Huanhuan, the guy in the middle with the head on fire, is design like the Olympic Flames. His element is fire, and he represent passion. He's a star at ball sports like soccer, tennis, etc.
Yingying, the yellow athlete, is designed like the Tibetan antelope. His element is earth, and represent health in the Olympic. He's a great runner so he's good at tracks and fields.
Nini, the green female fuwa, is design like a swallow. Her element is air, and she brings good fortune to people. She likes doing gymnastics.
These are the fuwa information.
Thank you for reading.
