Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games

With this stamp featuring an illustration of a snowboarder, the U.S. Postal Service continues its tradition of honoring the spirit of athleticism and international unity inspired by the Olympic Games. The stamp is being issued in connection with the XXI Olympic Winter Games, held February 12-28, 2010, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.

Illustrator Steve McCracken captures the thrill of one Olympic sport by portraying an airborne snowboarder against the backdrop of a snow-capped mountain.
