The mascot of the Beijing Paralympic Games will be unveiled on Wednesday, the organizers said here on Tuesday, one day before the two-year countdown to the opening of the Paralympics.

The Beijing Olympics organizing committee (BOCOG) kept their mouths sealed when asked with such questions as the possible number of the mascots for the Paralympics, which will be lift its curtain here on September 6, 2008.

"I can't answer any of the questions. I think you will know when you watch TV tomorrow evening," said vice president of the BOCOG Tang Xiaoquan, who is also the executive president of the national Paralympic Committee of China.

The mascot is expected to make its debut on Wednesday in a grand ceremony at the foot of the Badaling section of the Great Wall in north Beijing.

"I hope to bring people to more knowledge of the Paralympics through these activities such as launching the mascot," said Tang. "Everyone knows something about the Beijing Olympics, but for the Paralympics, many even do not know there is one."
