Opening Ceremonies - The Best Part

I can't believe I almost forgot to include this. It was quite possibly the best part of the opening ceremonies, nay, the entire event!

Okay, maybe not, but it certainly was the strangest.


Those two things flanking the mayor of Baar? Those would be the mascots of the World Championships.

From what I was able to understand from the translator (who's English was kind of a disaster) those two things were inspired by Carnival and have something to do with turnips...

Turnips!

I love you, Switzerland.
