Estonia 2010 YOG Postal Stationery

To commemorate the 1st Youth Olympic Games located in Singapore, the Estonian post issued a postal stationery on the games opening day, 14 August 2010. The stationery is actually a pre-cancelled post card valid for international mail. The reverse of the card is totally blank, the pictorial part only features pistol shooting, handball, and swimming with a swimmer diving from a starting block; the remaining illustrations feature scenes from the Culture and Education Programme of these games.

France 2010 SYOG issue

France released the YOG stamp 16 June 2010. It looks like "Youth" is the theme that is emphasized, rather than sports, as the stamp design does not contain any image related to sports; the design has the Singapore business district waterfront, the skyscrapers mostly belong to big banks located in the city, and a bunch of youth of many races.
