Wenlock

Wenlock and Mandeville, the official mascots of the 2012 Summer Olympics and Paralympics, were unveiled in London on 19 May 2010. The mascots were created by Iris, a London-based creative agency, and are named after Much Wenlock and Stoke Mandeville, the towns where the modern Olympic Games and Paralympics originated. Wenlock is a cheerful, energetic character who loves to play sports. He is always up for a challenge and is always looking for new ways to have fun. Mandeville is a more thoughtful and caring character who is always there to support his friends. He is a great listener and is always willing to help others. The two mascots are best friends and they love to spend time together. They go on adventures, play games, and cheer on their friends at the Olympics and Paralympics. They are a symbol of the friendship and sportsmanship that are at the heart of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Wenlock and Mandeville are a welcome addition to the Olympic and Paralympic family. They are fun, exciting, and inspiring characters who will help to make the 2012 Games a memorable event for everyone.
