King Felipe VI was part of Spain's Olympic sailing team at the 1992 games held in Barcelona.
Before he ascended to the throne, Felipe was a member of the Spanish Olympic sailing team at the 1992 Summer Olympics held in Barcelona, where his team finished sixth in the Soling class.
During the games, which took place on his native soil, he was also the Spanish Olympic team's flag bearer.
His natural talent for sailing clearly ran in the family, as his uncle, King Constantine II of Greece, was on the Greek sailing team at the 1960 Olympics, while his father and sister were also Olympic sailors for Spain.
