Best Commercials of the Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games (Sochi 2014)

The U.S. Olympian's comeback trail is paved with missteps. But it's not the stumbles we remember. It's how they overcame adversity that matters.

Waiting are those who've helped you soar. Determined to see you soar again. At Liberty Mutual, we believe that every setback is a chance to come back and rise. Liberty Mutual Insurance.

"Microsoft 2014 Super Bowl Commercial: Empowering" We hope you have your tissues ready before watching this 2014 Super Bowl commercial from Microsoft. It feature several stories about how Microsoft and Windows products help people with live their live, and improve their lives and the lives of others. Steve Gleason is a form NFL star from the New Orleans Saints. He is well know for uniting the city after Hurricane Katrina when he blocked a field goal attempt during the Super Bowl when the Saints won the Big Game. Today, Gleason has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease), and is confined to a wheelchair. He can't speak on his own, but uses a Microsoft Surface device along with eye tracking technology to type and speak. He can also browse the web and has an active Twitter presence (@TeamGleason). Braylon O'Neill is a little boy who was born without the bones in his legs. Today he wears prosthesis and gets around just like any other child. Microsoft Windows software is used to monitor his walking and stride to make imporant calibrations to his artificial legs to help him continue to walk properly as he grows. As a growing boy, it is important to regularly make sure his legs are updated and maintained regularly. Harold "Hal" Lasko is a 97 year old man who worked as a hand-drawn typographer for his career. As his eyesight diminished in his old age, he though his days of being an artist were over, but one of his grandchildren introduced him to MS Paint, and he now creates amazing works of art in this simple program which has been included with all Windows operating system since at least version 3.1 in the 1990's. He is able to zoom in to individual pixels to see and make his electronic paintings. Eric Vallieres is a thoracic surgeon who uses the Microsoft Kinect device (without the XBox) during surgery. No, he doesn't control robot arms with it, but uses it to be able to manipulate digital imagery on a computer screen during surgery without having to touch anything and contaminate his hand. Sarah Churman received a special Esteem Hearing implant and was able to hear normal sounds for the first time. We see her reaction as she hears the voice of the medical staff as they are calibrating the device. We also see scene of a deployed soldier being able to see his newborn baby from Afghanistan through the use of Skype. Innovative classroom experiences also through Skype Steve Gleason: What is technology? What can it do? Hal Lasko: When I lost my eyesight, I thought my painting days were over. Steve Gleason: How far can we go? Eric Vallieres: By using your hands, you can actually control the X-ray Class: Hi! Steve Gleason: Technology has the power to unite us. Soldier: Hang on honey, hang on. Nurse: There he is. Can you see him? Soldier: I can see him. Todler: Papa! Steve Gleason: It inspires us. Technology has taken us places we have only dreamed. Hal Lasko: Now I can do whatever I want. Steve Gleason: It gives hope to the hopeless. Medical Staff: Can you hear me talking? Steve Gleason: It has given voice to the voiceless. Steve Gleason on technology What is technology? What can it do? Technology has the power to unite us. We are shaping human history. We can. It has given voice to the voiceless.

"OMEGA Co-Axial Chronometer: The perfect mechanical movement" This commercial begins with a closeup of what appears to be a watch with tiny moving parts and gears. We zoom back, however, and see that it is actually an entire Earth (and even solar system) powered by mechanical watch-like movement. Fish, swimmers, and the ocean waves themselves are controlled by watch parts. Then a boat on the ocean, takes us to a city full of metal and mechanical cars, bikes, and even trees made of gears. We move on up from Earth and see moon landers and lunar rovers which are similarly made, and finally we see that the planets are all moving around the sun like clockwork as well. There are movements so perfect you'd hardly think they were made by humans. Omega Co-Axial - the most perfect mechanical watch movement in the world. Omega Constellation Co-Axial Chronometer Omega

But before you begin to run, you will learn to walk. Again. You will curse the fact that something you mastered as a one-year-old is now the most difficult task in the world. But eventually you will take that first step. And then another. And you will never stop moving forward. You will adapt to your new body until it no longer feels new. You'll realize that everything until now has been a long shot. Still being here - living, breathing - is a long shot. And the bigger the long shot, the bigger the payoff.

"We Are Winter Team Canada Sochi 2014 Commercial" Beneath, his flying footsteps froze the ground; And with his garments' rustling fell the snow ; His lightest touch made icicles abound; His breath, as when the keenest north winds blow. He paused above the river, dull and gray, Turbid and chafing with a restless pain. And soon in icy quietness it lay, Bound, bank to bank, within his Arctic chain. #WeAreWinter

Boots on the ground or skates on the ice, Rico Roman is a natural leader. He thrived in the military, operating as a staff sergeant for his platoon by his third tour of duty. And it was on that tour that Roman's world turned upside down. Few can imagine a setback as traumatic as Rico Roman's, nor a comeback as inspiring. Today, Roman is the first war-wounded veteran to be nominated to the U.S. Paralympic Sled Hockey Team. We hope to root for him to RISE at the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games. "RISE: Rico Roman, a film by Liberty Mutual -- Trailer" The guy's pulling me out of the Humvee and my legs felt really heavy. I knew I had the injuries to my leg and I remember telling him, hey, I don't want no guys seeing me like this. And so, it was tough. Even when I was hurt in my lowest times, I never asked myself "Why did this happen to me?". Unfortunately I got hurt. But these other opportunities happened because of this.

The U.S. bobsled team's quest for glory at the Olympic Games in Sochi is powered in the two-man and women's events by a new BMW-designed sled. The stakes are particularly high as the men seek to bring home gold in the two-man event for the first time since 1936. "Driving on Ice" In our sport, every hundredth of a second is a hundredth that much closer to a medal or a hundredth that much further away from a medal. If you look at the last Olympics in Vancouver, second and third place were separated by one one hundredth of a second. That's the difference between winning medals and losing medals. The last time we won a gold medal was 1936 in the two-man bobsled. We needed to find the next level of sled. We approached BMW, we got their understand of what makes something go fast. First bobsled for BMW, first bobsled for me. Do we have enough time to dial these sleds in? Oh, straight into the wall. I couldn't steer. With this new bobsled, we can win a gold medal.
