Did You Know?

Yodli came to life after 140 students from Eracom, a Lausanne art and communication school, contributed to the design of the mascot. The various drafts were shown to school children from Lausanne and surrounding areas to collect feedback and adapt the mascot, and the final choice was then given to 500 young Swiss athletes aged 12 to 18, who voted on the final design.
