Sporting excellence and physical prowess will be on display at China’s 13th National Games in September, but netizens were underwhelmed by the curious appearance of a topiary version of official mascot Jinwa in host city Tianjin on Thursday.
9月份天津即将举行全运会,届时全国的顶尖运动员将一较高下、决出好成绩。但是周四网上流传的一张全运会吉祥物“津娃”(由灌木丛修建而成)的照片却令网友吐槽不已。
Pictures of the topiary mascot, first released on social media platform Weibo by online news outlet Lanmeihui, have been shared nearly 25,000 times and attracted 40,000 comments – mostly negative.
