The Paris 2024 Olympic Games were held in France from 26 Jul to 11 Aug 2024, bringing together about 10,500 athletes from 206 countries to compete across 32 sports. A celebration of sporting excellence and international friendship, this stamp issue by Singapore Post on Games of the XXXIII Olympiad captures the excitement of the world's biggest multi-sport event. Adopting a vibrant contemporary style, using bold colours and dynamic illustrations to convey movement, energy, and the competitive spirit of Olympic sport, the 10 stamps in this issue highlight sports in which Singapore has developed notable strengths – athletics (1st Local), badminton (1st Local), canoe sprint (1st Local), equestrian (1st Local) and fencing (80c) in the first cover as well as golf (80c), rowing (80c), sailing (85c), swimming (85c) and table tennis (85c) in the second cover. Beyond recognising the dedication and perseverance of Singapore's athletes competing on the world stage, the issue holds special significance to Singapore as it also commemorates the nation's 18th Olympic participation since its debut in 1948.
