1 FRONT PAGE

Welcome to the first Torch Bearer of 2013, and thank you for your continued support.

Reporting on London 2012 will continue throughout 2012 as we manage to piece together information from a number of sources.

The listing of worldwide stamp issues will continue, and the later issues to commemorate medal winners will be added. Postcards relating to London 2012 will be listed with indicative illustrations later in the year, but for those who cannot wait a series of articles by Bob Wilcock are appearing in Picture Postcard Monthly - the February and March issues contain parts 1 and 2.

For those seeking an 'Olympic' experience in 2013, please look at pages 19-20. Personal experience of both fairs and the collector community in lead me to believe that this will be one of the potential social highlights of the year. It is a distance to travel, but for those seeking to combine their collecting interests with a vacation, Norway in the summer presents a superb opportunity.

The sharp eyed amongst you will have noticed that the F.I.P.O. logo has been removed from this issue. A letter from the I.O.C. dated 13th March has confirmed the dissolution of F.I.P.O. with immediate effect.

The working Group established in 2011 met in February to finalise their report and recommendations for the establishment of a new International Collectors Association, and it is hoped that progress will be made through 2013 with the prospect of an inaugural assembly late in the year.

On the S.O.C. front, a number of your committee members have been struck by medical conditions over recent years and months. Taking a philosophical viewpoint, this is inevitable as we all age, but in practical terms this does impact on the way that the society operates. Appeals have been made on numerous occasions for new committee members and authors. As London approached, the appeals were based on the anticipated workload during the Games.

The current situation is rather different, as new active committee members are needed to allow succession planning. The workload is not excessive, but it is far easier if it can be distributed! If you would be willing to give up a few hours each year for your hobby, please get in touch with any of the committee members.

In addittion to committee members, we need articles and content for Torch Bearer. It really does not take much time to prepare short articles that others will find interesting.

If you intend to incorporate London 2012 in your collection, please take the time to check the auction list with this issue. In many instances, the lots offered represent the remaining stock of S.O.C. items, and many are representative of items that are very scarce with the number of examples know to exist being 10 or less. The sales of S.0..C. produced material have exceeded demand, leading to some disappointment amongst members, but please remember, there were generally only two or three of us trying to do our best during the Games - and we rerally were very busy. The small number of volunteers that assisted at Olympex relaesed the time to produce the limited number of items, so we all owe them our thanks.

2 Juan Antonio Samaranch Medal awarded for Olympic Collecting 22/06/2012 Press Release from the International Olympic Committee

The International Olympic Committee today announced in Lausanne the winners of the inaugural Juan Antonio Samaranch Medal for Olympic Collecting.

The award was introduced by the IOC in 2012 to honour the legacy of former IOC President Samaranch, an avid Olympic collector who introduced programmes to encourage the collection and study of Olympic stamps, coins and memorabilia during his time in office.

The medal is awarded each Olympiad to individuals or organisations that have made long and outstanding contributions to Olympic collecting at local, national or international levels.

The winners of the Juan Antonio Samaranch Medal for Olympic Collecting for the XXX Olympiad are:

Mr Jaroslav Petrasek, , for active leadership in Olympic internationally, nationally and locally. Mr Donald Bigsby, USA, for establishing and leading the world's largest Olympic memorabilia club, Olympin. Mr Donald Mackay-Coghill, Australia, for developing and leading initiatives to bring coin collecting to the general public. China Post Group, China, for the development and promotion of Olympic collecting in China.

"I congratulate the winners of this prestigious award and thank them for their active and enthusiastic support of Olympic collecting and, through this, the Olympic Movement itself," said President Rogge. "Olympic collectors are the unofficial custodians of a vast amount of Olympic History. Olympic stamps, coins and other memorabilia all tell their own stories about the Olympic Games and thereby help to produce, in an easily accessible and visual manner, a different kind of understanding of the Olympic Movement."

The medals were presented to the winners on behalf of the IOC by IOC member Juan Antonio Samarannch Jr. son of the late President Samaranch, on 22 June in Lausanne. Olympic Philately : The Prix Olympia Vancouver 2010

The longlasting tradition initiated by late S.E. Mr. Juan Antonio Samaranch in 1985, at the time acting President of the IOC, has been maintained once more, to the great pleasure of the Olympic collectors all over the world. As some might remember, the original idea to organize an international competition to elect the three nicest stamps issued for the Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo and of the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles came from J.A. Samaranch himself, a great Olympic collector as everybody knows.

This year, the jury of the Olympia Award has rewarded the three nicest stamps issued for the promotion of the Winter Olympic Games of Vancouver 2010 ().

The three elected stamps of this newest "Olympia Award" are :

Gold medal : Post Service, stamp of 44 cents (snowboard) Silver medal : Postal Administration of Andorra, stamp of 0,85 euros (ski) Bronze medal : Postal Administration of Latvia, stamp of 0,55 euros (hockey).

Bob Farley

Our visit to Ancient Olympia in 2012 to attend the ceremony for the lighting of the Olympic flame was a very special occasion as it presented the opportunity to assemble in Olympia, and later in Athens, with friends and fellow collectors.

My wife and I have considered Olympia as a 'special place' since our first visit in 1995, and we have returned on many occasions to holiday in the Peloponnese using Olympia as a base.

During our first visit, we made an early morning tour of the ancient site, and found that there was an atmosphere that defies description as the early morning mist was dispersed as the sun gained strength. The visit was arranged as a direct result of my interest in the Olympic Games, and Olympism. My level of interest in Olympism was certainly reinforced by the visit to the ancient site and the adjacent museum.

The excavations and archeological investigation of Ancient Olympia together with the histirical records combine to present a fascinating account of ancient Greek civilisation, and have inspired the modern Olympic movement.

The postmarks used at Ancient Olympia tell the continuing story of the way in which the town maintains it's position at the centre of the Olympic movement, and with few exceptions are relatively easy to find.

Postmarks from Olympia after 1960 easily divide into three groups:

1 - Regular postmarks used on a daily basis by the Greek post office (Elta) for postal purposes.

2 - Commemorative postmarks (handstamps) used to commemorate events in the town such as the lighting ceremony of the Olympic flame.

3 - Commemorative postmarks (handstamps) commemorating events at the International Olympic Academy (1.0.A).

8 The International Olympic Academy (1.0.A.) Ancient Olympia

History and details extracted from the official website: http://www.ioa.org.gr/topic/history_of the_ioa In 1927, Pierre de Coubertin was invited by the Greek government to Olympia, to attend the unveiling of a commemorative stele created in order to honour his actions to revive the Olympic Games. During his stay in , he discussed the need for an academic centre for the study of the Olympic Movement and its trends with his friend loannis Chrysafis, who headed the Department of Physical Education at the University of Athens.

Coubertin believed that the Olympic Movement should not deviate from its educational objectives and had written: "I have not been able to carry out to the end what I wanted to perfect. I believe that a centre of Olympic studies would aid the preservation and progress of my work more than anything else, and would keep it from the false paths which I fear". Coubertin's ideas were in accord with the aims of the Hellenic Olympic Committee, which wanted to set up an academic centre modeled after the ancient Gymnasium, to lay down the foundations for the educational value of sport by carrying out studies and organizing classical games. The sudden deaths of Chrysafis (1930) and Coubertin (1937) prevented them from implementing their ideas.

One year after Coubertin's death and following his own wish, his heart was placed inside the commemorative stele in Ancient Olympia. This rekindled the idea for the establishment of a centre for the Olympic Games in Ancient Olympia. The project was taken up by loannis Ketseas, a student of Chrysafis at the National Gymnastics Club and Secretary of the Hellenic Olympic Committee and the German Carl Diem, a close associate of Coubertin devoted to the Olympic Movement and education.

Diem and Ketseas, who had worked together for the first Torch Relay from Olympia to Berlin in 1936, decided to work toward the realization of a Centre of Olympic Studies. By 1938 they had prepared a plan for an institution named International Olympic Academy and had submitted it to the Hellenic Olympic Committee. The HOC adopted the plan, and that same year, incorporated in its Charter the establishment and operation of the 10A, as one of the Committee's aims. At the 38th IOC Session in Cairo, the members of the IOC were informed by the HOC about the law recently adopted for the establishment of an Olympic Academy in Greece. One year later, in the 39th IOC Session in London, the IOC decided to place this foundation which would promote the Olympic ideals through education under its auspices. Following the end of World War II, a detailed memorandum about the operation of the Academy, drafted by Ketseas and Diem, was submitted to the 41st IOC Session in Stockholm in June 1947.

On the 28th of April 1949, the 44th IOC Session in Rome unanimously approved the establishment of the 10A, and assigned its implementation and operation to the Hellenic Olympic Committee, under the auspices of the IOC. Several years later and after a long struggle, the first 10A Session was scheduled for the summer of 1961 to coincide with the opening ceremony of the ancient stadium of Olympia, which had been excavated thanks to the initiative of Carl Diem, who ensured the expenses for the project.

The International Olympic Academy was officially inaugurated on the 14th of June 1961, and the proceedings of the first Session were headed by Cleanthis Palaeologos, Director of the Physical Education Department of the University of Athens, and the German Professor Lotz. From 1962 to 1990 the academic pursuits of the Academy were coordinated by its late Dean, Otto Szymiczek, whose contribution to the development of the Academy was invaluable; along with Profes sor Palaeologos, who had been made Honorary Vice-President of the Academy, they charted the course for three decades, and were both awarded the Gold Medal of the Academy. 9 During the 50-year period in which the IOA has developed its programs and taught the true principles of the Olympic idea, it became apparent that the spirituality of sport was a question which had not been sufficiently investigated. The many papers and studies which were presented at the IOA's Sessions have shown the great need which exists today in the world of sport for a genuine Olympic conception and the moral principles which govern any sporting activity. It all started in 1961 with the International Session for Young Participants, the only IOC Session by that time, hosted under simple tents and much later, with approx. 210 participants, another 6 Sessions were included in the IOA annual or bi-annual program. 1. The "Int. Session for NOA Directors" since 1986 with approx. 120 participants 2. The "Joint Int. Session for Presidents or Directors of NOA's and Officials of NOC's" since 1992 with approx. 120 participants 3. The "Int. Session for Educators and Officials of Higher Institutes of Physical Education" since 1993 with approx. 80 participants 4. The "Int. Seminar on Olympic Studies for Postgraduate Students" since 1993 with approx. 40 participants 5. The "Int. Session for Olympic Medalists" since 2007 with approx. 30 participants 6. The "Int. Seminar for Sports Journalists" since 1986 with approx. 40 participants 0. International Session for Young Participants

INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC ACADEMY 999 52nd Session 2012 "The change of the IOA's emblem resulted from a decision of the International Olympic Committee that was part of a broader communication strategy for all its organizations. The original emblem of the 10A dates back to the sixties and its design definitely referred to Ancient Greece. Later, the simple letter A was associated, in different periods, with a crown of olive leaves, before evolving in 1979 into the emblem we knew until now with the letter A surrounded by the five Olympic rings. Today we are inaugurating the IOA's new emblem. A simple but strong emblem that combines the archaic origin with the letter A and the olive branch of peace, two symbols that clearly define the International Olympic Academy's dynamic presence within the Olympic Movement. Below the emblem, the five Olympic Rings convey the IOC's support to the 10A. We hope that this new approach will give greater impetus to the Academy's work.

The broader communication strategy of the International Olympic Committee referenced in the I.O.A. press release above includes requirements that the Olympic rings are reproduced in their 'true style' with a determined border of clear space surrounding them, and that they are not 'embellished' in any way.

The I.O.A. change of emblem is an early example of this strategy. The previous emblem of the Olympic rings with the superimposed or interwoven A' appeared on postmarks between 1979 and 2011. It was also adopted by National Olympic Academies.

This strategy will also be evidenced by changes in emblems / logos of other entities recognised by the International Olympic Committee - for example, the F.I.P. O. logo would have been withdrawn.

Future use of the Olympic rings will be subject to greater restrictions under the new communication strategy, and will almost certainly impact on stamp and potmark designs.

13 1. International Session for Directors of National Olympic Academies. The biennial Session that was first organized in 1986 has the aim to support the function of the National Olympic Academies and encourage the foundation of new ones. Through the lectures of professors, teachers and officials of the Olympic Movement as well as through group discussions, the cooperation among the National Olympic Academies for the promotion of the Olympic Education programmes worldwide is put forward. Since 1992, the Directors of the National Olympic Academies take also part in the Joint International Session for Presidents or Directors of NOA's and Officials of NOC's, which is held alternately with the Session for Directors of NOA's.

Introduced in 1993, the Postgraduate Seminar, held in July or September, is designed to enhance students' understanding and knowledge of all aspects of the Olympic Movement.

No postmarks have been recorded for these sessions.

5. The International Session for Olympic Medalists.

The Olympic Medallists are among the most important ambassadors of the Olympic Movement for the diffusion of the Olympic Ideal. Consequently, the 10A has included, since 2007, the innovative idea of the Olympic Medahlists Session in its educational activities. 0,7)._ ,:406ox_, ,kk‘ors°/ t/4 0 ‘1, It. -.r 1 o cp "6 u., Z 1-1-1 -Z3 \l z .71. i"

This session aims to provide sports journalists from around the world with the opportunity to meet and discuss the role of the media in sports, contemporary Olympic issues, organisational aspects of the Games, and the relationship of the Olympic Movement with the media in the past and the present. Journalists are informed on new technology and equipment, and coverage methods of the Games by the media. The promotion of the Olympic Movement is also discussed as is the implementation of Olympic Education programmes in cooperation with the respective NOCs and NOAs. During every Session, a special Olympic topic is chosen for discussion.

These seminars officially became part of the I.O.A. schedule in 1986, but there were fore-runners. The 1991 event is designated as the 6th Seminar, and it appears that the designation recognises the earlier events.

18 XIX World Olympic Collectors' Fair 2013

You are hereby invited to take part in the IOC approved World Olympic Collectors' Fair, located to Bo in the region of Telemark, Norway from July 26th to July 28th. The fair is hosted by the local philatelic club, Bo Frimerkeklubb.

Our offer: Collectors and dealers from outside Norway get one table free of charge for the week-end. Additional tables are NOK. 100,- each. Registered collectors coming from abroad also get free access and free accreditation for the weekend for two persons including the table holder. Before our buffet dinner Saturday night we offer a free wine party for registered collectors with spouses, and we are preparing an informal early-bird party for Thursday afternoon also free of charge.

The TELEMARKSHALLEN is situated next door to one of Scandinavia' s biggest water parks, Bo Sommarland. A perfect place to spend the day for family members less enthusiastic about our hobby!

History.

The event is in cooperation with a large summer antique- and collectors' market inside the soccer hall Telemarkshallen, close to Be.

The London 1948 Olympic Games - A Collectors Guide - First Supplement.

One of the pleasures of writing a book of reference is that its publication brings to light previously unknown material. This supplement is the result of contributions from several collectors, notably Masaoki Ichimura, Laurentz Jonker, Jaroslav Petrasek, and Ellis Kwan.

The original (large) drawing for Harold Nelson's second design also survives and is in a private collection:

This cancel is not previously recorded as in use at the Olympic P.O. but may well have been applied in Wembley Main Post Office.

28 Olympic Philately : Mr M. Tecardi awarded the President's Trophy by the IOC President J. Rogge

By J.L.Emmenegger

On 20 March 2013, IOC President Jacques Rogge presented The President's Trophy to Maurizio Tecardi (Italy), a long-standing member of the Olympic Philately, Numismatic and Memorabilia Commission, at the Commission meeting in Lausanne. This IOC Commission is mainly composed of experts in the various fields of Olympic collecting and is responsible for advising the IOC on the dissemination of the Olympic ideal through the worldwide promotion of stamps, coins and items commemorating the Olympic Games.

Maurizio Tecardi was a board member of the FIPO (Federation Internationale de Philatelie Olympique) since its foundation in 1982 in Lausanne. The FIPO was created on the demand of the late IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch. Mr Tecardi acted as the General Secretary of the FIPO from 1982 to December 2012. In this function, he organized or acted as the FIPO liaison for all Olymphilex and Olympex philatelic exhibitions devoted to the Olympic philately: Lausanne 1985, Rome 1987, Seoul 1988, Varna 1990, Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012, as well as the exhibitions at the Winter Olympic Games in Nagano 1998 and Torino 2006.

As a philatelic writer, he wrote in 1964 a Monography on "The Olympic Games 1896-1964" and worked on about ten catalogues on the Italian sports cancellations.

And as an Olympic philately collector, Mr Tecardi specialized on the Olympic Games of Athens
