The pictorial subjects of the stamps
form an entity. The stamp to the left shows ski jumper Janne Ahonen in mid-air. His jump
took off from the stamp to the right, whose main subject is skier Mika Mylly� in a slope.
Ms Susanna
Rumpu and Mr Ari Lakaniemi, the designers of the stamps, express the dynamic nature of
winter sports by blending the contours of the athletes with each other. A silhouette of
the spectators' stand is shown is shown at the left-hand lower corner of the pair. The
World Championships will be arranged 15 – 25 February 2001. This will be the sixth
time the games are hosted by the city of Lahti. Finland last hosted the games in 1989.
