POSTEN NORGE on 9 October 1992 -- two years before the Olympic Games -- issued a stamp commemorating the 1994 Winter Olympics ("LILLEHAMMER OLYMPIC VINTERLEKER") in Lillehammer, Norway. The stamp had a face value of 3.30 Norwegian kroner.
The event was notable for being the only time the Winter and Summer Olympics were held two years apart, following an IOC schedule change.
The Lillehanmer Games were widely regarded as the first "green" Games for their focus on environmental responsibility.
