The leopard symbolizes the swiftness of the attack and the speed of decision-making, as well as power and strength [...] In the heraldic traditions, a leopard is a symbol of bravery and courage – the qualities traditionally characterizing soldiers." Other mascots include the Hare and the Little Fox.Marks

The brand style for the Games is a blue-red star with a head of a leopard on it. The colour red symbolizes "sport passion and will to win" and blue "infinite opportunities and devotion to reach the goal". The colours of the star and the leopard forms the Russian flag.
