Roy's Homepage on Olympic Stamps
Olympic Stories as depicted on Stamps
hello friends!
I, Tapan Kumar Roy, from India, a stamp collector and very much fond of designing web
pages, is presenting you this website. The Olympic is coming up and I have
redesigned this
site to delight you with the untold stories of some Olympic Stamps.
The site was first introduced on the eve of 2000 Olympic.
All of you know that the practice of issuing postage
stamps to help cover the Olympic expenses dates back to the first Olympiad in Athens in
1896. This tradition is still going on. Today, it is an accepted norm that "every
stamp sold will benefit the Olympic Games and the Olympic team of the country where the
stamps are sold."
Greece was the first country to introduce sports
stamps in 1896. Hope you will enjoy this website and give me your valuable opinion.
