VOLUNTEERS WERE RECOGNIZED AS THEIR HEROES' HEROES.

During the London 2012 Olympic Games, Usain Bolt struck up a conversation with 16-year-old Olympic volunteer George Hoy. After helping Bolt with his training equipment, Hoy was shocked when Bolt offered him his hat as a thank you. This iconic moment gave us an insight into who the true heroes are.

The script was written using real statements from Olympic athletes, which were turned into content for social media.
