British Airways celebrates its sponsorship of the forthcoming Olympic Games with a charming new spot, titled The Race.

The ad, by BBH London, sees bags from different nations race each other to be first out on the arrivals baggage carousel after a flight. A British bag, owned by a little girl, is pitted against bags from the US, Brazil, South Africa, and Japan in a race to the finish. The ad features a running commentary provided by veteran sports presenter Jim Rosenthal.
