Flow & nWayPlay NFT Olympic Pins

Detailed information 

What do a snowman and dachshund have in common?

The Olympic Games Munich 1972 saw the introduction of the first-ever official Olympic Games mascot, an adorable dachshund named Waldi. From then on, each edition of the Olympic Games featured a new official mascot related to the host region. The following Olympic Winter Games, held in Innsbruck, Austria in 1976 introduced Schneemandl, a Tryolean snowman - the first official Olympic Winter Games mascot.

The Mascot Pin is randomly chosen from eight Waldi variants, a rarer Waldi variant, or a Schneemandl Pin. The Waldi variants differ by their striped color arrangement. Both Schneemandl and Waldi are part of the Mascots Set. To complete the box, five Pictogram Pins will be randomly chosen from an assortment of 20.
