Olympic stamps: rowing in miniatures

Artists paint winning athletes on postage stamps, and collectors are ready to give a lot for a valuable fillsuvenir. If marks are a story, what can you learn about canoeing and canoeing?
Someone during the Olympics writes a paper letter and sends it to another continent. For the philatelist, this letter will eventually become a trophy, especially if there is a commemorative postage stamp on it. For those who are far from collectibles, the brand is first and foremost a peculiar, colorful, miniature story about sports.
Olympic philately is a collection of philatelic materials dedicated to the Games: postage stamps, stickers, stamps, stamps and other postage stamps. Olimpica is one of the five topics most popular among philatelists, along with Cosmos, Painting and Nature. In December 1982, the International Federation of Olympic Philately was established under the Olympic Committee.

An example of mailing that is of interest to philatelists.

On July 30, 1980, on the first day of the kayak and canoe rowing competition, someone sent a letter to Moldova. This was done from the post office G 614, which was located in Krylatskoye during the Olympics-80 days and served the Rowing Canal. The image on the envelope corresponds to a special stamp: rowing and canoeing. Date readable, there is an accompanying stamp to highlight the Olympic correspondence: OLYMPI80 – rectangular, black.
What is special about postage stamps?

A postage stamp is a means of payment for postal items and one of the attributes of statehood, such as a flag, emblem, money, anthem, Constitution or passport.

At the same time, the brand is a small work of art created by the artist, who thus talks about the history of the Games, Olympic symbolism and rituals, various sports, Olympic athletes and their victories, and in general everything connected with the Olympic movement. .

Philatelists exchange valuable items and look for them at specialized auctions. A postage stamp dedicated to the 1976 Olympics in Montreal can replenish your album for stamps – claster.

Postage stamp “Rowing and canoeing Games of the XXI Olympiad Montreal 1976”. Average online auction price: $ 2082.72.
