It's a summer of sport, and that means the sporty guys and gals have been torn from their training to take part in the most important aspect of the whole thing: the ads.

With many not threatening the journey from track-to-screen just yet, it seems that Delta Air Lines and Wieden-Kennedy have managed to buck the trend and pull out some endearing performances from the stars of its Keep Climbing campaign: Gabby Thomas (Track and Field), Sara Hughes & Kelly Cheng (Beach Volleyball), Zoe McDougall (Surfing), Trevon Jenifer (Para Basketball), Adeline Gray (Women’s Freestyle Wrestling), Mallory Weggemann (Para Swimming), Jagger Eaton (Skateboarding), Derek Loccident (Para Track and Field), Evan Medell (Para Taekwondo), Blake Haxton (Para Sprint Canoe), Victor Montalvo (Breaking) and Brooke Raboutou (Climbing). 

Most engaging of Raine Allen-Miller's films is You Get You There, in which the viewers are put into the POV of Derek Loccident, a Paralympic long-jump hopeful who has been training hard to punch his ticket to Paris.

“As the official airline of Team USA, Delta’s goal is to connect these athletes with their gold-medal dreams and support them every step of the way on their journey to the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” said Alicia Tillman, Delta's Chief Marketing Officer. “We set out to create a campaign that doesn’t just focus on the destination, but also highlights how each athlete has reached this point. 

"These spots capture the joys, challenges and unrelenting ambition it takes to keep climbing – because no one gets to the top by staying still.”  

“From being the first female sport climber to represent the United States in 2020 to now approaching my second Games, I am so proud to be on this journey with Team USA and alongside Delta as my partner,” said Brooke Raboutou, U.S. Olympian. “Climbing has always given me a foothold in life – even through some of the toughest seasons – and it’s been the momentum and movement that drives me to my goals. 

"Seeing my own journey reflected in this creative is such an honour, and I can’t wait to see what Team USA is going to accomplish in just a few weeks as we take on the biggest climb of our careers.”
