Buenos Aires is hosting the Youth Olympic Games in two years and Street Artist Segatori is already getting the word out with this new series of murals featuring athletes bolting across eight story high buildings. After his spring time feat of creating a mural some say is the longest in Latin America, the forty-five year old was selected by the city government to do this commission in a housing complex close to Parque Roca. The effect of seeing these giant athletes in action of course is meant to advertise the upcoming games but it may also just encourage people in general to exercise, if not to actually pole vault.
