One of my favorite parts of the Olympics is the Mascots. We seem to be in a pattern of alternating something weird (hats and “eternity”) and something cute (panda and baby tiger) and this year is definitely the cute year.
Look at Tina and Milo! Stouts just doing stout things. They are native to the Italian Alps and represent agility, speed, and adaptation to snowy environments. Milo is the Paralympics mascot and has adapted to use his tail in unique ways because he was born without a right leg!
I feel like they haven’t had a Bing Dwen Dwen level presence at the Games but they are getting around.
But they are supposed to be accompanied by “The Flo”.
On the road to 2026, Tina and Milo won’t be alone—they’ll be joined by six little snowdrops called “The Flo. Together, they make a true team! They are six curious and irresistible little flowers symbol of rebirth, they never leave their friends and love to have fun even if sometimes this gets them into trouble.
And I want to know, where has The Flo been!? The only time I see them is when I open my Olympic app, which is probably between 17 and 56 times per day. Are they the ones that are breaking all the Olympic medals? Did they tell the Norwegian to confess to cheating on his girlfriend of 6 months after winning a Bronze?
Would bet this Diva is causing chaos left and right right now. If you spot her, let me know.
