Winter sport has always had a strong position in Norway. Here are
two stamps from a minisheet of four stamps issued in 1989 in
connection to the Winter Olympics at Lillehammer in 1994. Bjørg Eva Jensen on the
left stamp won the gold medal in 3000 meter speed skating at Lake Placid in 1980. The
other stamp features the Norwegian women team who won the gold medal in 4x5 km
skiing cross-country relay in Sarajevo in 1984. The women on the team are Berit Aunli,
Brit Pettersen, Inger Helene Nybråten and Anne Jahren.
