OLYMPIANS NAMED “A” ON STAMPS This is a part of a list named “Olympians on Stamps”, which contains Olympians whose last names start with “A” depicted on stamps and other philatelic material, along with the actual philatelic material. Each athlete’s name is clickable – it will take you to their Wikipedia page (or, if one does not exist, to another page associated with the athlete), where you can view their biography and achievements. After philatelic materials depicting the Olympian, you can see the athlete’s brief summary of their Olympic participation and achievements. The “Olympians on Stamps” list is actually a supplement to my “Olympic History on Stamps” collection.
