have got breaking news that the Ian the Ibis has
been named the official mascot. I am not kidding of
the twenty thirty two Brisbane Olympics. So this is after
(00:32):
months of speculation. Obviously, Olympic officials have just unveiled Ian
in a ceremony at South Bank. They've described him as
a true symbol of resilience, adaptability and an impressive ability
to survive of discarded sausage rolls and hot chippies. Organizers
say the beloved bin Chicken is the obvious choice for

our mascot because just like the Olympic Spirit, you'll find
an Ibis in every part of Southeast Queensland, including here
on the Gold Coast plenty here the gold, at silver
and bronze medals. This is a big one. Will now
feature tiny Ibis engravings and spectators can expect plenty of
official in the Ibis merchandise sund Sale.
