MEET CHAIRY

Chairy is the smiling face of Off The Podium, a mascot born not from comfort, but from chaos. After one unfortunate throwing incident saw him violently discarded across a room, Chairy could have been forgotten forever. Instead, he picked himself back up, dusted himself off, kept that trademark smile on his face and turned a moment of adversity into something far bigger.
From that unlikely beginning, Chairy became the ultimate symbol of what Off The Podium stands for: resilience, passion, joy and a never-say-die love of the Olympic Games. Just like the show itself, he may come from humble, underdog origins, but he continues to punch above his weight, taking on the biggest stories, the biggest moments and the biggest event on the planet with personality, humour and heart.
Whether helping carry the chaos of daily recaps, the excitement of Olympic previews or the passion that runs through every episode, Chairy represents the joy the Games bring to fans in every corner of the world. While many mascots come and go, Chairy stands tall as a lasting symbol of strength, unity and Olympic spirit — proof that even after being knocked down, you can rise again and become the face of something truly special.
