Munich 1972 Olympic Mascot
"Waldi", the dachshund. Very popular in Bavaria, but he also possesses qualities which are indispensable to an athlete : resistance, tenacity and agility. These are among the reasons he was chosen to be the mascot. He was dressed in pastel colours to express the gaiety and joy of the Olympic festival.
