Passage 36
The Winter Olympics is also called the
White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published (发行) to
mark (标志) 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, publishing stamps during the White
Olympics became a rule(规定).
During the 4th Winter Olympic Games a
group of stamps were published in Germany in November 1936. The five
rings of Olympics were drawn on the front of the sportswear. It was the first
time that the rings appeared on the stamps of the White Olympics.
In the 1950’s, the stamps of this kind became more colorful.
When the White Olympics came, the host countries (东道主) as
well as the non-host countries published stamps to mark those Games. China
also published 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 collect 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.
