This First Day Cover commemorates the 23rd Olympic Games, which were held in Los Angeles during the summer of 1984. These stamps feature Olympic sports women’s fencing and volleyball.
Fencing is one of only four sports that have been in every Olympics. Women compete using a foil, a sword used for training and competing. Fencers touch the opponent’s protective vest with their foil to earn points.
Few sports have been so enthusiastically greeted at the Olympics as was women’s volleyball when it made its debut at the 1964 Tokyo Games. The sport was invented in Holyoke, Massachusetts, in 1895.
