Here is what about the characters Chen Jining, Beijing's mayor and one of the organizers of the Games:

These two mascot combines elements of traditional Chinese culture and modern style, with an emphasis on winter sports. They demonstrate how much the Chinese people waiting for the Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games in Beijing, and is a warm invitation to China friends from around the world.

Names also not randomly selected. "Bin" means "ice" and "Dwan, Dwan" - "strong, lively." Probably, it should point to the close relationship between the member countries and the scale of the event. Name Paralympic torch is also a composite, "Shuey" - a "snow" and "Ron-Ron" has two meanings: "tolerance" and "unification".
