About the stamp design: The strip of stamps features stylized images of athletes in five Winter Olympic sports. Lon Busch, an airbrush painter, created the paintings used for the stamp designs.

Other former Soviet countries competed independently. Germany competed as a unified country for the first time since 1964 and won the most medals. The US won 11 medals including gold in women’s speed skating (Bonnie Blair won two) and women’s figure skating (Kristi Yamaguchi).
