2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games emblem officially unveiled

China News Service, Sydney, October 6 (Reporter Bo Wenwen) The 2032 Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games emblems were officially unveiled on the evening of the 5th. The launch event was held on the south bank of Brisbane, the capital of Queensland, Australia. Two emblems inspired by Australia's native cockatoos were unveiled on the riverside stage.

The Brisbane Olympics emblem is based on a pink cockatoo, while the Paralympics emblem is based on a sunflower cockatoo. The lively, curious and playful characteristics of the cockatoo echo the humanistic temperament of Queensland and Australia. The two emblems combine the bird's crown with the outline of Queensland and the Olympic and Paralympic flames, symbolizing unity, hope and inspiration. The feathers on the bird's crown are arranged in groups of three and two respectively, cleverly echoing the year "2032".

The emblem will be released in stages. In the previous days of activities, athletes successively unveiled the components of the emblem in Cairns, Townsville, Rockhampton, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast in Queensland, and finally presented the complete design in Brisbane.

Andrew Liveris, chairman of the Brisbane Olympic Organizing Committee, said that the emblem integrates the natural environment and unique regional features of the host place with the iconic elements of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and will help the world further understand Brisbane, Queensland and Australia.

Before the official release, the emblem was unexpectedly exposed in advance. According to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, due to staff errors, the official YouTube channel of the Brisbane Olympic Organizing Committee accidentally leaked the complete design of the emblem on the evening of the 2nd, and the relevant images were subsequently deleted.

2032 will be the third time Australia has hosted the Summer Olympics, following the 1956 Melbourne Olympics and the 2000 Sydney Olympics. (over)
