2010 Vancouver : Prix Olympia Winners



The Prix Olympia, a longstanding tradition initiated by the late Juan Antonio Samaranch in 1985, at the time President of the IOC, has once again been awarded.

As many may remember, the original idea was to organize an international competition to select the three best-designed stamps issued for the Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo and the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. President Samaranch, himself a great Olympic collector, conceived this prize.

In March 2012, the jury for the Prix Olympia (consisting of the IOC Commission for Philately, Numismatics and Memorabilia) made its selections for the three outstanding stamps issued for the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Winter Games:

 

Gold medal: United States Postal Service, stamp of 44 cents (snowboarding)

 

Silver medal : Postal Administration of Andorra, stamp of 0,85 euros (skiing)

 

Bronze medal : Postal Administration of Latvia, stamp of 0,55 euros (ice hockey).

UNPA : Sport for Peace – Paralympic Games 2012

 

The Olympic movement aspires to contribute to a peaceful future for humankind through the educational value of sport. It brings together athletes from all parts of the world in the greatest of international sports events, the Olympic Games, and it aims to promote the maintenance of peace, mutual understanding and goodwill - goals it shares with the United Nations.
The 2012 Summer Olympic Games will take place in London, England from 27 July to 12 August 2012. London will become the first city to officially host the modern Olympic Games three times, having previously done so in 1908 and in 1948.
The Paralympic Games are held every four years, following the Olympic Games, and are governed by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). The Paralympics first started in 1948 when Dr. Ludwig Guttmann organized a sports competition at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in England for Second World War veterans that had spinal injuries. The competition took place between sports clubs and other hospitals on the same day as the Opening Ceremony of the London 1948 Olympic Games.
The first Paralympic Games were held in Rome, Italy, in 1960 and involved 400 athletes from 23 countries. Originally, only wheelchair athletes were invited to compete. Since that time, the Paralympic Games have grown dramatically. Athletes competing at the Games are divided into the following disability groups: visual impairments, amputees, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injuries and Les Autres - athletes with physical disabilities that are not included in the categories mentioned above.
The 2012 Paralympic Games will take place between 29 August and 9 September. They will be the biggest Paralympic Games ever, featuring 4,200 athletes from 160 countries who will compete in 20 sports.
To commemorate the 2012 Summer Paralympic Games, the United Nations Postal Administration will issue stamps on 17 August 2012 featuring six paralympic sports. Three souvenir sheets will also be released on the same day.
Sport is a universal language that can be a powerful tool in promoting peace, tolerance and understanding by bringing people together across boundaries, cultures and religions. The 2012 Paralympic Games in London will continue its tradition of promoting the Olympic spirit by featuring exceptional athletes with amazing talents that continue to inspire people around the world.
