Phryges are small Phrygian caps, which represent a strong symbol of liberty, inclusivity and the ability of people to support great and meaningful causes. They are kitted out in a red, white and blue colourway, with the golden Paris 2024 logo emblazoned across their chests.
此外，残奥会吉祥物有一条“腿”被设计成了假肢，体现包容的体育价值观。
The difference is that Paralympic mascot wears a prosthetic running blade to raise the profiles of para athletes and people with disabilities and to promote the sporting values of inclusion.

这两个吉祥物的座右铭是“一个人可能走得更快，但我们一起会走得更远”。
他们也被赋予了不同的个性，奥运会弗里吉是一个“具有精明头脑的战术家”，残奥会弗里吉则是“率真的、充满活力和热情的” 。
The two mascots share a motto of “Alone we go faster, but together we go further”, and the Olympic Phryge is described as “a tactician with a calculating brain”, while the Paralympic Phryge is “spontaneous and full of energy and enthusiasm”.

巴黎奥运品牌设计总监朱莉·马斯基介绍称，“吉祥物具有强烈的象征意义，以前常常是东道主的动物图腾……这一次，我们选择了能承载法国革命精神、历史和价值观的弗里吉亚帽。在比赛期间，它们会出现在赛场内外，与观众们亲密互动。”
Julie Matikhine, the brand manager of the Paris 2024 Games, said of the Phryges: “It is a mascot who embodies the French spirit. An ideal that carries the values of our country, a part of our history and a singular point of view on the world.”
