After her triumphant race in Paris, Helensburgh BMX athlete Saya Sakakibara has been recognised with an Australian Olympic stamp.
Australia Post is honouring Australian gold medallists by featuring a photo from their Olympic medal ceremony on a series of collectable $1.50 stamps.
A set of 10 costs $15 and can be ordered now via Australia Post's website.
Saya stamps are expected to be in store at participating post offices by Friday.
In a media release promoting the Olympic stamps, Australia Post Executive General Manager Retail, Josh Bannister, said: “Australia Post is proud to support the incredible talent in the Aussie Olympic team and honour our gold medal winners with their own official stamp. Recognising athletes on a stamp that is accessible to their families and all Australians is a special tribute.
“Whether it be in the pool, track, courtside, on the pitch or in the ring, Aussies can throw their support behind their favourite gold medallists and take home a piece of history with a stamp or coin, sharing the love and excitement for the Paris Olympics.”
More souvenir stamps include the official Royal Australian Mint 2024 Australian Olympic Team coloured $2 three-coin collection and the individual 2024 Paralympics Team coloured $2 coin folder as part of Australia Post’s “Paris 2024 Olympic Games” collection.
