The stamp within this souvenir sheet shows

the Sinkovic brothers sculling. Indeed they

won the M2X gold medal at the Olympic

Games in Rio de Janeiro 2016. But in 2020

and again in 2024 they preferred the M2- 

and became Olympic champions. On the

see how they congratulated each other

after their victory in the final.
