Venues and Disciplines introduced bySoohorang and Bandabi

Olympic Competition Schedule

Soohorang

The name ‘Soohorang’ is a combination of

several meanings in the Korean language.

‘Sooho’ is the Korean word for ‘protection’,

meaning that it protects the athletes,

spectators and all participants of the Olympic

Games. ‘Rang’ comes from the middle letter

of ‘ho-rang-i’, which means ‘tiger’, and also

from the last letter of ‘Jeongseon Arirang’, a

traditional folk music of Gangwon Province,

where the host city is located.

Bandabi

The bear is symbolic of strong will and

courage. The Asiatic Black Bear is also the

symbolic animal of Gangwon Province. In the

name ‘Bandabi’, ‘banda’ comes from ‘bandal’

meaning ‘half-moon’, indicating the white

crescent on the chest of the Asiatic Black

Bear, and ‘bi’ has the meaning of celebrating

the Games.
