　　The Winter Olympics are also called the White Olympics. At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great games. The first stamps marking the opening came out on January 25,1932 in the United States for the 3rd White Olympics. From then on, publishing stamps during the White Olympics became a rule.
