Turin 2006 unveiled its mascots for the Winter Games called Neve and Glitz, which represent the two elements without which the Olympic Winter Games cannot take place, snow and ice.
The mascots were created by Portuguese designer Pedro Albuquerque, winner of the international competition organized by TOROC on March 25, 2003.
Neve and Gliz will be starring in a cartoon co-produced by AI and Lanterna Magica which will be broadcast on Italian TV channels RAI 2 and RAI 3 in 52 one-minute episodes between October 2005 and February 2006.
Starting Wednesday the official products of Turin 2006 portraying Neve and Gliz will be on sale at authorized stores and at the Turin Olympic Store. They can also be purchased on the Internet.
