July 23, 2021 the United National Postal Administration released "Sport for Peace" stamps to mark the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. The games were postponed until 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic
The United Nations worked closely with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in issuing these stamps. The aim is to promote the positive influence that sport has on humankind, as we strive for peace and international understanding
Six stamps were issued as part of this set: Sailing (US$ 0.55) Baseball (US$1.20) Judo (CHF 1,00) Diving (CHF 1,50) Equestrian (€ 0.85) Golf (€ 1,00)
