Lyo and Merly
Lyo and Merly were the official mascots of the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics held in Singapore. Lyo is a red male lion whose name stands for "Lion of the Youth Olympics", while Merly is a blue female Merlion whose name combines "mer" (meaning "sea") with "liveliness" and "youthfulness". The duo represent several Olympic values (such as excellence) and traits of Singapore (known as the Lion City). Cubix International designed the mascots, while another local company, Mascots and Puppets Specialists, developed their fursuits. Before and during the Youth Olympics, Lyo and Merly appeared in school events, launches and roadshows. They also participated in pre-National Day Parade activities, were displayed at competition venues and were featured in Youth Olympics memorabilia.
== Background ==
The first official Olympics mascot was Waldi, introduced in the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, Germany.〔"(Olympic mascots )", Hickok Sports, 18 February 2009. Retrieved 23 August 2010.〕 The mascots are typically animals native to the area where the Games take place, or are based on humans and imaginary creatures. They often reflect the culture and history of the region, and many were also designed to embody the ideals of Olympism and the Paralympic movement. The introduction of a mascot or mascots is often one of the highlights in the lead-up to the Games, with much focus placed on them in contemporary Olympics.〔"(Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games mascots )", Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, 2010. Archived from (the original ) (and retrieved) on 23 August 2010.〕 The 2010 Summer Youth Olympics has carried on the tradition of having mascots.
