Ollie, Syd and Millie - Sydney 2000

"Ollie", a Kookaburra, "Syd", a Platypus; and "Millie", an Echidna, are three native animals chosen as mascots for the Sydney 2000 Games. These Australian animals represent the earth, air and water.

"Ollie": epitomises the Olympic spirit of generosity and universal generosity (from Olympic).

"Syd": represents the environment and captures the vigour and energy of Australia and its people (from Sydney).

"Millie": is a techno-whiz and information guru, with all the facts and figures at her fingertips (from Millennium).

The Organising Committee received hundreds of submissions from artists, children and others from around the world. Matthew Hatton's design was chosen to represent the Olympic mascots for the forthcoming millennium.

澳利、悉德、米利，2000年悉尼奥运会吉祥物。它们是三个澳洲本土动物，分别代表土地、空气和水。澳利代表了奥林匹克的博大精深；悉德表现了澳洲和澳洲人民的精神与活力；米利代表千禧年。奥组委当年曾收到来自全世界的数以万计的设计方案，最终选定了马修·哈顿的设计。
