While training for their respective Olympic competitions, the athletes come into contact with a dinosaur amid snow and ice, inspiring wonder, wonder, thrill and terror.

olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin debuted the first of these spots with an appearance on NBC Today to January the 21st. This spot, which features Shiffrin with raptor Blue from the jurassic world films, will also be shown during the NFL Divisional Round Game January 23. Then, starting at 8 p.m. ET to January 31, the three individual spots for individual athletes will appear simultaneously in a “roadblock” across multiple platforms.
