23 hours ago 4

The athletes from Poland at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina have brought a friend along with them.

He's a stuffed pierogi plushie (not a Squishmallow, for those wondering).

They're bringing him everywhere, and he's a fan favorite.

Fans in the comments all want to know where you get one.

We also want to know if the cute fella has a name.

For now, though, we'll just have to settle for appreciating the adorable-ness.

Poland comes to the Winter Olympics with a strong representation in speed skating while also having potential competitors in snowboarding, skiing and figure skating.

They've got one thing that no other country's athletes have, though, and that's this stuff pierogi.

Maybe he'll make it onto the medal stand. That would be quite Polish.
