I just saw a pic of the mascots Wenlock and Mandeville. Great name choices. That's about all I have to say right now.

Yes, my first thought was "What weird names" but then I realised the derivations.
Much Wenlock was, arguably the forerunner of the modern Olympics.
The modern Paralympics arose from the Stoke Mandeville wheelchair games of 1948.
