No I don't remember the commercials. Watching the Olympics skating and dance was most disturbing as the music and the dance seldom fit. About all the skaters did was keep time with the music (usually), but what they did didn't fit the music at all. For all the effort and training they do one would think that they would find or write music that fit their routines.
