The TV spot – appropriately titled “Beating the Odds” – showcases the Canadian alpine skier’s journey to Olympic gold despite being born missing both legs below the knees, as well as her left arm below the elbow.
Lauren is known as the Paralympic Winter Games’ “Golden Girl” after winning eight gold, one silver, and one bronze medal won over three games.
Twitter lost it over the commercial, with users sharing their emotional reactions.
