1992 Olympics
The 1992 Olympics were held in Barcelona, Spain. The poster above by Guillermo Perez Villalta oddly omits something that should be hanging between his legs.
A more conventional poster at least has a hint of male parts.
Athletes who competed in the 1992 Olympics included American weightlifter Mark Henry, above.
U.S. boxer Oscar de la Hoya won a gold medal in Barcelona. Above, he weighs in at Caesar's Palace, Las Vegas.
U.S. tennis player Pete Sampras played in Barcelona. Above, we see something peeking out.
American runner Michael Johnson won a gold medal in Barcelona, and went on to win gold at the 1996 and 2000 Olympics as well.
