奥运会的吉祥物并不是一开始就有的，第一个吉祥物诞生于1972年的慕尼黑奥运会。让我们回顾一下可爱的历届吉祥物吧。

Waldi - Munich 1972

"Waldi", the first official mascot to appear for the 1972 Munich Games, was a Dachshund. He was modelled after Cherie von Birkenhof, a longhaired breed of the species. Waldi was the first official Olympic mascot.

Waldi's head and tail are light blue, and his body has vertical stripes with at least three of the five Olympic colours. Waldi was produced in various forms and sizes: plush, plastic, stickers, posters and buttons - but not as a pin until many years later.
