GENEVA, June 19 (Xinhua) -- The 2030 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games organizers have unveiled two emblems, which are inspired by "a mountain revealed by light," the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced on Thursday.
Edgar Grospiron, president of the French Alps 2030 Organizing Committee, said, "The same mountain will unite the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in 2030."
"That is why our two emblems were conceived as complementary expressions of the same vision. Together, they embody our ambition: to give Olympism and Paralympism the same place, strength and visibility," he added.
The Organizing Committee explained that the two emblems are built around three key elements.
"Rays of light reveal the contours of the landscape. They open up a perspective, the promise of clarity, warmth and renewal; Mountain peaks embody the field of play of Alpes 2030: Alpine sports, challenge, raw beauty, pushing limits, and awe; The point of convergence represents coming together. Where the rays meet, the summit appears," the organizers said.
"Different yet inseparable, they form a whole: one of the Winter Games united by a shared vision, a shared energy, a shared territory and shared values," it added. ■
