    OLYMPIC CHAMPION MAKES MASCOT DONATION

    Wu Dajing, a winter Olympic champion, announced in a post on social media he had donated all the money from auctioning off the mascot for Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022 medalists to charity. He’d received the golden roly-poly panda Bing Dwen Dwen during the games as a souvenir.

    At an online auction in early April, the mascot, bearing Wu’s signature, was sold to the highest bidder at a cool 920,000 yuan ($144,532).

    A further eight posters signed by the athlete were auctioned off, bringing the total amount to 969,500 yuan ($152,308).
