Tyson Gay's Gillette commercial, courtesy of Gillette, note by Larry Eder

Tyson Gay is the American record holder in the 100 meters. He is the second fastest American at 200 meters and he is the last person to defeat Usain Bolt over the 100 meter distance (July 2010).

We thought you might like to see the new Gillette commercial for Tyson Gay, with their new product launch. Tyson will be one of the brand athletes for Gillette during their Olympic promotions.

Gillette is using its own icon athletes around various markets around the world. Pretty cool to see Tyson Gay as one of their top athletes.

The parent company of Gillette, Proctor & Gamble, has signed USOC sponsorship program through 2016.
