To celebrate Australia's second gold medal of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Australia Post has released an Olympic Winter Gold Medallist stamp featuring an image of Lydia Lassila taken at the medal presentation ceremony.

Lassila won her gold medal in the Freestyle Skiing - Ladies' Aerials event on Wednesday at Cypress Mountain (Vancouver time).

After landing two outstanding jumps in heavy fog for a total score of 214.74, Lassila had a nervous wait for the rest of the field to complete their final jumps. Chinese competitor Xu Mengtao, who led the field after the first round, failed to land her final jump, confirming Lassila's gold medal win.

The stamp features Lassila at the medal presentation ceremony in Vancouver, holding her gold medal proudly, her name and the event she competed in, the Australian Olympic Team logo and a graphic representation of the Canadian Alps in the background.
