In 2006, the Torino, Italy Winter Olympic mascots were named Neve and Gliz. The Italian word Neve translates to "Snow" and this mascot is supposed to be a female snowball in human form representing "softness, friendship and elegance". Meanwhile, the name Gliz is a shortened form of the Italian word Ghiiacco, or "Ice", and this male humanized ice cube is meant to represent "enthusiasm and joy". For the Olympic pins below, Gliz and Neve take to the ice to show off their hockey skills.
