The Winter Olympics is also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps will come
out to mark(标志) the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening appeared on January 25, 1932
in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, stamps for the White Olympics became a
rule.
During the 4th Winter Olympic Games, a group of stamps were off press in Germany in November
1936. It was the first time that the five rings appeared of the stamps of the White Olympics.

countries as well as the non-host countries worked out stamps to mark those games. China also made
four stamps in February 1980, when the Chinese sportsmen began to take part in the White Olympics.
Japan is the only Asian country that has ever held the White Olympics. Altogether, 14,500 million
stamps were sold to raise(筹集) money for this sports meet.
