Schuss
Schuss (, primarily German for 'shot', but also the same as the English noun 'schuss', i.e. a high speed ski run directly down a slope) was the unofficial Olympic mascot of the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France, a one-legged humanoid skier with a large red and white head. Schuss is often considered the first Olympic mascot, and appeared on pins, small toys, and cardboard cutouts. Every subsequent Olympic Games has featured a mascot excluding the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan, which only had an unofficial mascot, Takuchan.
