Atlanta Olympics Speedo Poster

[SwimTeamSpeedo]

Damn nice picture.... all of them. Love the poolside shot, the two guys together is hot, too. I admire Phelps as a great swimmer, but this guy is far more handsome and the suit fit is nicer, too. Although Phelps is also a briefs guy in practices, and in some of his ads.

I rather liked that one as a piece of art (though rather obscure in the small pic) but, sad to say, have given up on lines of enquiry as all replies are "Sorry - we don't know it".

Byron, I continue to dream about finding this poster, but I'm not obsessing about it.

I have the poster. Had it in my (now-closed) swim shop for years. It shows a full fontal image of Gary Hall, Jr. in his Olympic Aquablade speedo in royal/sapphire. Speedo logo on left; "USA" on right. Four 1996 Olympic medals hanging around his neck (Mark Spitz revisited), two gold and two silver.

The poster is double sided (identical images on both sides) and mounted on heavy poster board.

It's surprising that no references to this poster can be found online. It was (is) iconic of that Olympic year, but clearly Speedo used it as promotion alter the Olympics, not before.

That is a HOT poster, but not the one I remember. With all the research being done to find the poster all coming up dry, I'm starting to doubt my own memory. But the quest continues.

Looks like maybe there was more than one taken at the same time. Mine doesn't have the flag. Otherwise identical.
