Wrong event depicted

The online catalogue of the Belorussian Post Services gives the same description (in English and Russian) as does the caption to the picture: "commemorating slalom". Yet the type of helmet the athlete is wearing is not worn in slalom; the body posture is definitely not slalom either; nor are the gates; nor are the poles. It's downhill or SG that's shown.

There's no further clue on the stamp itself as to the source of the picture on which the stamp is based or the concrete event that is shown.

So the caption on Wikipedia, while citing correctly, had better be reduced to "commemorating the 2002 Winter Olympics". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Singerbergler (talk • contribs) 06:56, 28 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
