Slovenia year 2014 Winter Olympic Games stamps – Sochi Tina Maze – MNH**
That’s an excellent question that touches on a key moment in Slovenian sports history!
Yes, Slovenia’s post office (Pošta Slovenije) issued a special stamp to honor Tina Maze’s historic achievement at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
🏅 The Tina Maze Commemorative Stamp
Slovenia’s initial issue for the XXII Winter Olympic Games in Sochi (released in January 2014) featured generic winter sports motifs (ice hockey and ski jumping). However, after Tina Maze won two historic gold medals (in the Downhill and Giant Slalom), Pošta Slovenije issued an additional, highly sought-after commemorative stamp:
| Detail | Information |
| Stamp Subject | Tina Maze |
| Occasion | Her two Gold Medals at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics |
| Issue Date | May 30, 2014 (timed to coincide with her birthday) |
| First Day Cover Location | Črna na Koroškem (her hometown) |
| Motif | A photograph of Tina Maze celebrating or skiing. |
This stamp specifically celebrates her becoming the first Slovenian athlete to win a Winter Olympic gold medal for independent Slovenia, an achievement she quickly doubled in Sochi.
