THE OLYMPIC SPIRIT (VINTAGE STAMPS)

Since London will be hosting the Olympic Games this year, 

inviting nations to compete in the best athletic performances 

and stand [briefly] united together [peacefully], 

I thought I would occasionally post some of the stamps I have 

of previous Games.

This week: 

1960. 

I missed those as I was not born yet. 

My arrival was announced later on that year... 

Back then, 

the winter and summer games all happened on the same year, 

but they eventually were presented on different years, 

which I much prefer 

as we now have to wait only two years to see some games, 

whether being the summer or winter games. 

In 1960, 

the Winter Olympic Games happened in 

SQUAW VALLEY (USA), 

and the Summer Olympic Games were in 

ROME (ITALY). 

HUNGARY.

SAN MARINO.

This is it for this week. 

Stay tuned as there will be more stamps to come 

before we all turn our attention toward London.
