Michael Phelps’ “Rule Yourself” Under Armour ad has been shared nearly 500,000 times.

On Sunday, the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro came to a close. Even though the games may be over, the spirit lives on through social media and advertising — even from Olympics years in the past.

Video ad tech company Unruly tracked which Olympics ads have garnered the most shares ever, specifically looking at shares across Facebook and YouTube as of August 22. 

Half of them come from the 2016 Games in Rio, but the rest are from the Winter Games in Sochi two years ago and the 2012 Games in London. 

Ranging from Adidas’ Queen singalong with Great Britain to P&G’s heart-wrenching “Thank You, Mom,” here are the Olympic-themed ads that have been passed along the most.
