Torino 2006 Mascot 'Aster' - a snowflake

 

Aster, the Torino 2006 Paralympic Winter Games macot, was created with the aim of symbolizing the Paralympic Winter Games of Torino 2006: it represents the spirit of this initiative, extolling the athletic results of participants rather than focusing on their disabilities. Aster takes on the shape, colour, structure and nimbleness of a snowflake. Happy, agile and dynamic, thanks to its particular form, it is capable of assuming all positions specified by the Paralympic disciplines, thus being representative of all athletes in an entertaining, positive and natural fashion. A close friend of Neve and Gliz (the Olympic Winter Games mascots), Aster belongs to the same magical world of snow and ice.
