This Fleetwood cover pictures two stamps commemorating the 23rd Olympic Games which were held in Los Angeles during the summer of 1984. The stamps feature gymnastics and weightlifting.
In the 1984 Summer Olympics, the American men’s gymnastic team took the gold medal in the all-round competition.
Olympic weightlifting is divided into eight weight classes. Each athlete competes in both the “snatch and clean” and the “jerk.”
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.
