1990年7月6日,美国邮政发行了一套5枚奥运邮票。这套邮票不是为哪一届奥运会,而是为了纪念20世纪前半叶美国5位最杰出的奥林匹克运动员发行的。他们分别是:在1936年的柏林奥运会上一鸣惊人,一举夺得4枚田径金牌的欧文斯(图21);总共为美国捧回了8枚奥运田径金牌的埃瑞(图22);曾在1924年巴黎奥运会上赢得两枚金牌 July 6, 1990, United States Post issued a set of five Olympic stamps. This stamp was not for the Olympic Games, but for the commemoration of the five most prominent Olympic athletes in the United States issued in the first half of the 20th century. They were: Owens, who won four gold medals in track and field at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 (Figure 21); Ereli (Figure 22), which won a total of eight Olympic track and field gold medals for the United States; Won two gold medals at the Paris Olympic Games
