This cover pictures two stamps commemorating the 23rd Olympic Games which were held in Los Angeles during the summer of 1984. The stamps feature shot put and women’s swimming.
In the field event of shot put, a heavy metal ball – the “shot” – is “put” or thrown with a pushing action. The U.S. earned silver and bronze medals in the 1984 Olympics in this sport.
The United States women’s swim team earned a total of 34 medals in 1984, including 21 gold medals.
All 12 of the 1983 Commemorative Airmails picture athletes participating in Olympic events. These stamps were issued in anticipation of the 1984 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The Games were boycotted by the Soviet Union and many other Communist nations. Many saw this as revenge for the U.S. boycotting the 1980 Games held in Moscow.
