The new mascots for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia are here! They're pretty cute if a little too Pixar. It's a polar bear, a hare, and a leopard with a snowboard. The only one who looks remotely athletic is the leopard. He's actually kind of scary if you look too long into his eyes.

How do they stack up to other Olympics mascots?

Vucko

Vucko was the mascot of the 1984 Sarajevo games. He is b-a-d-a-s-s. The other finalists that year were a chipmunk, a lamb, a mountain goat, a porcupine, and a snowball. Totally dodged a bullet there.
