　　Topiary mascot for Tianjin National Games criticized by netizens

　　天津全运会吉祥物太丑引网友吐槽：像烤糊的哪吒!

　　Sporting excellence and physical prowess will be on display at China’s 13th National Games in September, but netizens were underwhelmed by the curious appearance of a topiary version of official mascot Jinwa in host city Tianjin on Thursday.

　　9月份天津即将举行全运会，届时全国的顶尖运动员将一较高下、决出好成绩。但是周四网上流传的一张全运会吉祥物“津娃”(由灌木丛修建而成)的照片却令网友吐槽不已。

　　Pictures of the topiary mascot, first released on social media platform Weibo by online news outlet Lanmeihui, have been shared nearly 25,000 times and attracted 40,000 comments – mostly negative.

　　这张照片最先由网络新闻平台“蓝莓会”在新浪微博上发布，被转发近25000次，评论40000多条——大多数都是负面的。

　　“Is he poisoned?” asked @Lanmeijiang_Arico.

　　网友“Lanmeijiang_Arico”说道：“有毒吗?”

　　“This is the ugliest mascot I’ve ever seen,” @coozealyoo stated, emphasizing it was not one of the ugliest but the ugliest.

　　网友“coozealyoo”则表示：“这是我见过最丑的吉祥物。”

　　“Is he suntanned?” inquired @Buaixiaodechangjinglu.

　　而网友“Buaixiaodechangjinglu”则表示：“他是被晒黑了吗?”

　　The prototype of Jinwa was designed by Tianjin Design and Research Center for Visuals and selected by the National Games’ review committee after a year of public competition. The concept was inspired by local New Year pictures (Nian Hua).
