Lauren Mitchell's Visa commercial and some other interesting ones!

This Visa commercial featuring Lauren Mitchell has been released and it is quite fabulous. I for one really like Lauren, I remember her competing low difficult pristine clean routines at the world championships back in the day. She has come a long way, kept at it, improved her difficulty and has been looking great to go to her second Olympics. Go Lauren!

Looking at this commercial just reminded me of some other moments gymnasts were in the media:

Mary Lou Retton Barbie Commercial

Recent Dairy Queen commercial

Bowling commercial

Energizer

 Wheaties

Shawn Johnson's Wii commercial

And an interview with Shawn about it

And another 2008 commercial by Johnson for Hyvee

Nastia Go Visa 2008

Nastia and Nadia Comaneci for Adidas (this one is particularly fabulous!)

Alicia Sacramone in ESPN's The Body Issue
