What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear “2008 Olympics“? Most likely it’s Michael Phelps, whose swimming exploits will be talked about for years to come. I hadn’t planned to watch the competitions, but when I saw Phelps win his first race, I was hooked and, like most Americans, I kept coming back to the TV for more. I’m guessing that a Michael Phelps poster is a hot item on many wish lists.
As exciting and colorful as this year’s Bejing games were, they also evoked a bit of nostalgia, bringing back images of swimmer Mark Spitz’s seven gold medals in 1972, sprinter Michael Johnson’s gold shoes and gold medals, and Jackie Joyner-Kersee who was voted the greatest female athlete of the 20th century. TIME magazine has a series of covers that feature these great Olympic athletes. You can check them out at posters.com
