Representatives for the two sprint sensations and multiple Olympic gold medallists were presented with commemorative First Day Covers from the new issue of Rio Olympic Stamps which bear the athletes’ images. Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce shared her appreciation on social media, “Thank you Jamaica Post for this wonderful gesture of a commemorative stamp in honor of the Summer Olympics.”
Deputy Postmaster General, Sophia Hamilton-Brown, says “both athletes have represented Jamaica well over the years and today stand on the brink of major accomplishments in the third consecutive defence of their Olympic titles.” Mrs. Hamilton Brown says “it is for these reasons Jamaica Post saw it fitting to issue these Rio Olympic stamps to recognize Usain and Shelly-Ann”.
