The new London Olympic Mascots have now been revealed:

They look kind of strange to me, but apparently the kids love them. That's what counts, so I guess it's a good thing.

Huh... Freaky stuff...

I don't like them, but eh... I wasn't the target anyways.

The Olympic games have mascots? I never noticed before now.

They don't look too bad for mascots anyway, if not a bit weird. Still, it's not as if they got clowns or something instead. You know how some kids are afraid of those. Pennywise anyone? :p

I think all of the Olympic Games have mascots. They are probably very rarely remembered after the Games are over with, though.

Here is something I found on the various Olympic Mascots and Games they represented for past, present, and future years, etc.:
