LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS MASCOT WENLOCK

Wenlock is the official mascot for the London 2012 Olympic Games. This great looking Wenlock soft toy measures 20cm high.
Wenlock’s name is inspired by Much Wenlock in Shropshire, England, where the Wenlock Olympian Society held its first Olympian Games in 1850. He has five friendship bracelets on his wrist, with each bracelet taking the colour of an Olympic ring. The three points on his head represent the three places on the podium. The pattern on his body with the logo of the games symbolises the whole world coming to London in 2012. The shape on the front of his head represents the shape of the Olympic stadium roof. In the run-up to the games Wenlock hopes to make as many friends as possible and always looks on the bright side of life.
