After her gold winning performance in the women’s cycle sprint Anna Meares joins Tom Slingsby, Alicia Coutts, Cate Campbell, Brittany Elmslie and Melanie Schlanger as the sixth Australian athlete from the 2012 Olympic Games to have their image featured on a stamp through the Australian Gold Medallists stamp program. Stamps featuring Anna Meares will be available from Friday 10 August.
“Our first Gold Medallist stamp for the 2012 London Olympics featured the women’s 4 x 100 freestyle relay team, and the positive response was fantastic. We are hoping that fans are just as excited to see Anna on a stamp,” Australia Post Managing Director and CEO, Ahmed Fahour commented.
