As excitement builds for the Paris 2024 Olympics, Hong Kong’s Tamar Park in Admiralty has been adorned with the charming Phryges mascots and other Olympic-themed installations. Local residents and tourists alike are flocking to the park, capturing memorable moments with these vibrant symbols of the upcoming Games.
The Phryges, inspired by the traditional French Phrygian cap, embody the spirit of freedom and revolution that has been a cornerstone of French history for centuries. Their design not only reflects France’s rich cultural heritage but also aims to inspire unity and enthusiasm among people worldwide.
“It’s wonderful to see the Olympic spirit coming alive here in Hong Kong,” said a resident visiting the park. “The mascots are adorable, and they bring a piece of the upcoming Games closer to us.”
The Paris 2024 Olympics, scheduled from July 26 to August 11, promises to be a spectacular event. This summer, thirty-five Hong Kong athletes will represent the region, competing in 13 different sporting events across France. Their participation highlights Hong Kong’s dedication to sportsmanship and international cooperation.
The presence of the Phryges mascots in Hong Kong not only celebrates the forthcoming Olympics but also strengthens cultural ties between Hong Kong and France. Visitors to Tamar Park can enjoy the festive atmosphere and share in the global anticipation for the Games.
