The 1988 Health Stamp Issue commemorated the Summer Olympics, officially
known as the Games of the XXIV Olympiad, held in Seoul, South Korea. 160
nations were represented by a total of 8,391 athletes.
These were
the last games where the Soviet Union and East Germany attended as Germany
was reunified and the Soviet Union had dissolved by the next Olympic Games.
North Korea was still officially at war with South Korea and boycotted the
event. However, the much larger boycotts seen in the previous three summer
Olympics were avoided, resulting in the largest number of participating
nations to that date.
New Zealand competitors won three gold
medals:
Bruce Kendall - Sailing, Men's Lechner Sailboard
Individual Competition
Ian Ferguson and Paul MacDonald - Canoeing,
Men's K2 500 metre Kayak Pairs. They also won a silver medal for the
Men's K2 1,000 metre Kayak Pairs and Paul MacDonald won a bronze in the
Men's K1 500 metre Kayak Singles.
Mark Todd - Equestrian,
Three-Day Event Individual Competition

The
four stamps in this issue were also incorporated into a miniature sheet.
