In any given Olympics, there are a multitude of events or games. Back in 1976, it was Montreal, Canada’s turn to host. That year there was 21 different sports, and 198 events in total! The first 10 cent stamp features the sport of Rowing. The event is for teams or solo athletes. The second $1 stamp highlights Track & Field, which is also a team or solo activity. For the third stamp, a 20 cent stamp, it features Pole Vaulting. This would probably be my favourite sport to watch if I was in attendance. How about you, which is your favourite Olympic sport? Thanks for stopping by.

I wish I had some of them stamps, those are coo man. That one guy lost his clothes though. You try to keep stuff safe in your locker

I should have put a warning on the post: "Must be over the age of 18".

Those are really cool! I love your stamp Sundays! I like the colors in the first stamp, that's a nice one. The pole vault stamp is really cool too, they just made one mistake. We're looking up the guy's nose... Oh well! Really cool collection, there must have been quite a few sets of the Olympic stamps that year.

Now that you point it out -- sort of unusual..

Between 1973-1976 they issued around 35 commemorative stamps. Can you imagine, worldwide, how many stamps were issued for the 1976 Olympics, must be in the hundreds, easily.

Generally I never watchh Olympics, but between those 3 I'd choose the pole aswell

It always amazes me how they can vault themselves through the air like that!

An olympic stamp that actually has Olympic events pictures😂😂😂

They look so vintage and cool...
