I like this commercial. It's funny how they've shown it for a few olympics.

The gentleman receiving the medal listed seventh is actually Charlie Hickocox in Mexico City '68 Olympics. But thank you so much for listing as many athletes as you could! The Sia song was discovered by Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under. It was used in the series finale of that program in August of 2005 and has been subsequently used in multiple TV shows since. BEAUTIFUL SONG!
