During the video, accessible here, the white tiger is seen competing in 15 sports - Alpine skiing, biathlon, bobsleigh, cross-country skiing, curling, figure skating, freestyle skiing, ice hockey, luge, Nordic combined, short track speed skating, skeleton, ski jumping, snowboarding and speed skating.  

A similar animated video featuring Asiatic black bear Bandabi, the mascot for the Pyeongchang 2018 Paralympics, is due to be released soon.

The Games in South Korea are due to take place from February 9 to 25, while the Paralympics are scheduled for March 9 to 18.

The mascots for the two events were revealed in June last year during a Pyeongchang 2018 presentation to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board in Lausanne.

They depict two animals that appear in Korean foundation mythology and are strongly associated with the host nation's culture and folklore.

Earlier this month, South Korean IOC member Ryu Seung-min called for further support across the country to ensure the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics prove a success.

Ryu, who was elected to the IOC Athletes' Commission in August, believes there are concerns among fellow members over the engagement of the South Korean public with the Games.

The Athens 2004 men's singles table tennis champion claimed the celebrations to mark the one-year to go milestone and ongoing test events have partly alleviated these worries.

But he expressed his view that more can still be done to increase the public’s attention and support for the Games.
