The Winter Olympics is also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are
printed (印刷) to mark (纪念) the great Games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on
January 25, 1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, printing stamps during
the White Olympics became a rule. During the 4th Winter Olympic Games, a group of stamps were printed
in Germany in November 1936. It was the first time that the five rings appeared on the stamps of the White
Olympics.
In the 1950s, stamps of this kind became more colorful. When the White Olympics came, the host
countries (主办国) as well as the non - host countries (非主办国) printed stamps to mark those games.
China also printed 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 money for this sports meeting. Different kinds of sports were drawn on
these small stamps. People can enjoy the beauty of the wonderful movements of some sportsmen.
