Australian Paralympic Team mascot set to soar with Qantas
Qantas is giving Paralympic sport fans a unique role in the return journey of the Australian Paralympic Team from the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
As proud partners of Paralympics Australia, Qantas will feature a depiction of the Australian Paralympic Team mascot on the side of the aircraft set to bring our Team home from Tokyo in September.
Lizzie the Lizard, the Australian Paralympic Team mascot since Sydney 2000, has been redesigned in a manga style by the Royal Australian Mint as part of the promotion.
Qantas is inviting the Australian public to vote for their favourite design on Instagram.
Four options were designed, with two heats across two weeks deciding the final two options. The winning design from tonight’s (9 March) final heat will be revealed at a launch event next month.
Votes can be cast via Qantas’ Instagram stories from 6pm AEDT tonight.
Paralympics Australia’s Chief Executive, Lynne Anderson, said the initiative was a fun way to celebrate the six-month countdown and boost awareness of the Australian Paralympic Team.
“We are absolutely thrilled with the news that our very own Lizzie will feature so prominently on a Qantas aircraft. Not only will fans be able to see Lizzie high in the sky wearing green and gold, but Qantas’ outstanding support will enable us to bring our Team home in style,” Anderson said.
“We’re loving Lizzie’s Japanese flair with her manga design, but importantly, we love seeing our sports represented well in the design.
“I have voted myself, and I cannot wait to see the next lot of designs and vote again as the poll continues. I encourage everyone to get involved, and we can’t wait to see Lizzie next to the iconic Qantas kangaroo later this year.”
Vibrant and spirited, Lizzie symbolises the Paralympic dream and the fire within. She represents energy, determination and motivation. A dedicated goal-setter and ‘in your face’ competitor, she’s a proud visionary who is firmly focussed on the future. A great mate to all, Lizzie is funny, friendly and cheeky.

Reviews for "Unexpected Samples: The Rap and R&B Influences on 'Could It Be Magic"
1. Sara - 2/5 stars - I can't believe this video has so many views! The quality is terrible, the editing is amateur, and the audio is muffled. I was excited to watch a performance of Barry Manilow's "Could It Be Magic," but I was sorely disappointed. The video seemed like it was recorded on an old VHS tape and uploaded straight to YouTube without any effort to improve it. There are much better versions available online, so I would suggest skipping this one and searching for a higher quality performance instead.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars - This is by far the worst Barry Manilow video I've ever watched. The audio is completely out of sync with the video, making it nearly impossible to enjoy the song. The video quality is extremely poor, and it's as if someone recorded this performance with a potato. I'm a big fan of Barry Manilow, but this video ruined the experience for me. It's a shame that such a legendary artist has to be represented by such a low-quality video on YouTube.
3. Rachel - 2/5 stars - I was hoping to find a good performance of "Could It Be Magic" by Barry Manilow, but this video fell short of my expectations. The video quality is grainy and the audio is distorted, making it difficult to fully enjoy the song. Additionally, the video seems to be poorly edited, with awkward cuts and transitions that detract from the overall viewing experience. I would recommend looking for a different video rendition of this song to fully appreciate Barry Manilow's talent.
