Winter Olympians on Stamps - 1972

WINTER OLYMPIANS ON STAMPS - 1972

This is an appendix to my “Winter Olympics 1972 on Stamps” collection. It contains stamps (and other philatelic materials) that depict athletes who participated in the Winter Olympics 1972 -- even though said depictions have nothing to do with said Olympics.

For each stamp, the underlying description depicts the athletes’ names, countries (if different from stamp-issuing countries), sports and medals (if earned) as related to their participation in the Winter Olympics 1972.
