2008 beijing olympics fuwa - mc donald's happy meal

The Fuwa (literally means goodluck dolls also known as The Friendlies) serves as the Official Mascot of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Each Fuwa has a rhyming two-syllable name - Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying, and Nini. When you put their names together - Beijing huanying ni - Beijing welcomes you. They also have the colors of the Olympics rings.Beibei represents the continent Oceania and the sports swimming for the water element.Jingjing represents the continent Europe and the sports weight lifting for the metal element.Huanhuan represents the continent America and the sport taekwando and also the Olympic flame for the fire element.Yingying represents the continent Asia and the sports table tennis for the wood element.Nini represents the continent Africa and the sports soccer for the earth element.A good memorabilia from the 2008 Olympic Games. It will also reminds me the medaless campaign of the Philippines. :(
