This First Day Cover commemorates the 23rd Olympic Games, which were held in Los Angeles during the summer of 1984. These stamps feature Olympic sports men’s cycling and women’s fencing.
Fencing is one of only four sports that have been in every Olympics. Women compete using a foil, a sword used for training and competing. Fencers touch the opponent’s protective vest with their foil to earn points.
Cycling at the 1984 Olympics consisted of three road cycling events and five track cycling events. The U.S. won the most medals in this sport with nine medals, including four gold.
