Standing right outside the Barcelona 1992 Olympic Museum, this abstract figure represents that all athletes were aiming high for the sky. Most didn't go home with a medal, but pride from their country and that is what the olympics are all about. The plaque is translated from Catalan to English via Google Translate, "Donation union federations of Catalonia".
