Walter Thompson advertising agency put together a tribute film, saying it wanted to capture “the blood, sweat, tears” that the Olympic athletes from India put into their work.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Did the film accomplish that goal?&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;In a word, yes.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;ALSO:&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-lolo-jones-hurdles-20120806,0,7156054.story”&amp;gt;U.S. women advance in 100 hurdles&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-marlen-esparza-20120806,0,4722084.story”&amp;gt;Marlen Esparza assures herself of a medal in women’s boxing&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;a href=”https://www.latimes.com/sports/olympics/olympicsnow/la-sp-on-jennifer-simpson-1500-20120806,0,2122103.story”&amp;gt;U.S. women advance in 1,500, but men’s discus throwers are out&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;
