Our theme this week: stamps for the Olympics (this year or previous years), or featuring a sporting activity. The Games are almost upon us! Olympic stamps, showing the 5 rings, are harder to find that I initially thought, so please feel free to share a sports stamp. I was saved by a recent card from a Russian Postcrosser.
I cannot read the Cyrillic characters, but I'll guess that this stamp commemorates 100 years of the Russian Olympic Committee. I could be wrong I guess. It does show the 5 rings of the Olympics.
Join me this Sunday in some sporting activity - or at least anticipating the opening ceremonies. I hear London will be busier and more crowded than usual. If that is possible.
Edited to add: theme for next week: Anything you wish.

You're right, the stamp commemorates 100 years of the Russian Olympic Committee.
ReplyDeletegood guess - though that 2011 is a bit confusing, not being an Olympic year.
ReplyDeletedo we have a theme for next week?
London is somewhere to be avoided this summer, as far as I'm concerned. Mind you I was there the day after the Royal Wedding last year and was surprised it was reasonably quiet. Nevertheless I won't be risking it again.
ReplyDeleteI like that the flag is looking like the Olympic flame :)
ReplyDeleteI have several Olympic-related stamps but chose this "futuristic" stamp which was sent very recently by a Postcrosser from Russia.

Great theme, once again. There are so many Olympic stamps out there, just choosing was the hard part!
ReplyDeleteIts an all action stamp, I like the number of sports they have managed to portrayed on a small space.
ReplyDeleteThe 2011 date confused me too. I had to go shopping again as I had used all my Olympic stamps before.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool stamp!
