China's 2008 Olympic mascots: where are they now?

Face down in the dirt with an iron post impaling his rump, Chinese Olympic mascot Huanhuan has seen better days. Once a proud talisman of the 2008 Beijing games, the character -- a traditional Chinese "good luck" doll whose fiery headdress symbolised the Olympic torch -- now lies in a field outside an unfinished mall started during the pre-game construction boom. Photographed weeks before the 2016 Olympics open in Rio, the mascots are a reminder of the high costs of hosting the event.
