Considering that the Women's Ice Hockey Championship's was decided on Feb 21, 2002 it is a little surprising that this envelope could have been prepared so quickly. It seems to me that the envelope was released with the skier in the cachet and the ice hockey cachet was added afterwards.

Australia (1902-)
An island continent between the Pacific and Indian oceans, southeast of Asia. British settlement began in the late 18th century, with six colonies developing - New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania. Each of these states initially issued its own stamps. These colonies united to form the Commonwealth of Australia on Jan. 1, 1901, although each continued to issue its own stamps for a number of years.
