Yes, these two are the world's first ever mascots for the Youth Olympic Games 2010! As you can see, their names are Lyo and Merly. Let's find more about them! =)
His favourite sport is basketball and he dreams of someday representing Singapore in international basketball tournaments.
Growing up in Singapore, the City-in-a-Garden, Lyo is no stranger to people. He enjoys making friends from all over the world and learning about their different cultures. He is fun-loving and wants to inspire youths to keep fit and enjoy sports.
Merly got her name from "mer" (meaning the sea) and "ly" for liveliness and youthfulness. She is a merlion cub who loves exploring the seas surrounding Singapore, and beyond. Although merlions are omnivorous by nature, Merly sticks to a vegetarian diet out of a deep respect for all living creatures.
Merly is friendly and a great listener – when she becomes your friend, she is your friend for life! Always ready to join a good cause, Merly is especially passionate about protecting our environment (sadly, many of her friends have become ill as their homes have been polluted) Merly believes that every one of us can help create a sustainable future and works hard to spread that message.
Her dream is to become an environmental scientist one day, so that she can find more ways to help people live in harmony with Nature.
