Around The Games - Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Day 6

BEIJING, CHINA - FEBRUARY 10: People stand next to a poster showing Olympic and Paralympic mascots Bing Dwen Dwen and Shuey Rhon Rhon as they stand near the front of a line outside the official Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics flagship souvenir store early on February 10, 2022 in Beijing, China. Crowds of people have been lining up at authorized Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic stores trying to purchase Bing Dwen Dwen paraphernalia, the panda mascot of the Games. Items featuring the character have become a hot seller that Beijing 2022 merchandise stores cannot keep them in stock. Officials say the factories authorized to produce the souvenirs have been urged to increase production to help boost supplies. The sudden popularity of Bing Dwen Dwen, along with the Paralympic Games mascot Shuey Rhon Rhon, comes as most Chinese fans are unable to attend Olympics events in the host city because of China's zero-COVID protocols.
