Related Sporting Figures (Context)

While not depicted on these stamps, Serbia’s Nađa Higl — a top Serbian swimmer who won the 200 m breaststroke gold at the 2009 World Aquatics Championships — is the sort of athlete these stamps celebrate.

Serbia’s water polo successes during this era also included top results internationally (though the Olympic gold medals came later), making the team a fitting subject for a 2009 commemorative.
