More Sports: The Asian Games

In addition to the Commonwealth and Pan-American Games, I started looking at other regular international sporting events, and I’m starting with the Asian Games.

The Second Asian Games were held in Manila, Philippines, from May 1 to 9, 1954. A total of 970 athletes from 19 Asian National Olympic Committees (NOCs) competed in 76 events from eight sports. Only the host country, the Philippines, issued stamps. To see the collection, click here: https://dicksstamps.online/collections/1954-asian-games-manila/
