And this is a Hungarian coin for 500 Forints (worth about $10 in 1988) honoring the Seoul Olympics.

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.

Is any information available regarding the photo of Brazilian football player Romario? Looks as if he's running naked in front of a large crowd.
You've done something special to have Annie want to photograph you.
It’s a fake. Romario never runned naked on the field.
Lots of hot men.
It's not from a public appearance, but it's really Romario. It's from a commercial that Romario did for Walkers crisps (not Lay's chips as the photo says). In the commercial, Romario gives his clothes to a boy in exchange for a bag of crisps, then runs naked toward the crowd to do a victory dance. Talking about the commercial, Romario said "It's a light-hearted humorous look at the world of football and it is important to be able to laugh at yourself."
