But what if Miracle and Magical were only displayed because the preview for the 2020 games took place in 2016, the year of Mahoutsukai? What if the actual 2020 representatives are the successors to Star☆Twinkle? It's possible. I remember seeing the Olympic Shop having Yell instead of the Maho Girls, so I bet they'll just choose the 2020 Pink Cure as the Pretty Cure representative.

Then again, it depends on what Toei will do with their 'anime Olympic ambassadors'. Yes they have their own shop in Japan, but will the merchandise be expanded worldwide? Will they incorporated in the opening or closing ceremonies? Or will they just be exclusive to Japan?

Added blather: Miracle and Magical were announced as Olympic ambassadors in 2017, around the time (before or after) A la Mode debuted. Yet in 2017, Whip never became an ambassador. It wasn't until 2018, long after Hugtto's premiere, that Yell replaced Miracle and Magical. So if these trend persists, maybe Yell will be replaced with Star, who will then be replaced by a 2020 Cure? But then why didn't Whip replace the Maho Girls? And why did Toei choose Miracle and Magical in 2017 instead of Whip, who would have been newer? i dunno
