Estonia 2010 Youth Olympic Games

Estonia released this postal stationery on the opening day of the 1st Youth Olympic Games, 14 August 2010. It is actually a prepaid postcard, priced at 13.50 kroons, which is slightly more than USD1.00. The back of the card is totally blank for writing purposes, whereas the front is illustrated with some important aspects of these games: the sports, represented by pistol shooting, handball, and a swimmer diving from a starting block, and scenes of participants of the Culture & Education Programme. My friend sent this card one day after the last day of the games, 27 August.
