At the Olympic opening ceremony, Celine Dion’s emotional return had spectators in tears.

“Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance.”

“All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not you take home a medal,” said the coach.

It had to have come true for you if you’re here, right? You have worked so hard to be the greatest, and for that you should all feel really proud.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you continue on this path. From Celine xx. For the time being, we want to view the performance repeatedly.
