Seoul Olympics 1988


While we are on Sports I am reminded of the 1986 Seoul Olympic Games. As a matter of fact I have an album of sorts commemorating the 3rd Anniversary of the decision to hold the Olympics there. I present a few extracts from my album. This may interest the sports thematists amongst you.
Thank you Shashi for this nice stamp booklet.
