What were the names of the two official mascots of the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics?

Håkon and Kristin were the two official mascots of the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics.

The mascots were named after Håkon IV of Norway and Kristin Sverresdatter, historical figures associated with medieval Norwegian history. They were depicted as children wearing traditional Norwegian clothing, linking the Games to local heritage.

Lillehammer hosted the Winter Olympics from 12 to 27 February 1994. The event was the first Winter Olympics held after the schedule was separated from the Summer Olympics, so it followed Albertville 1992 only two years later.

Olympic mascots are often confused across editions because many use animal characters. Lillehammer’s mascots were human children, unlike the polar bear mascots of the 1980 Lake Placid Games or the snow creatures used at other Olympics.
