I love how the maestro turns around in the end and conducts the audience instead xD
Man, the time when the Olympics had so much national identity, with lots of variety from country to country.

Чето слеза навернулась. Прям детство мое, помню как полюбил эту девушку и Норвегию.
И в голове сразу всплывает золотые медали: Егорова, Гордеева, Тарасов...и Россия на первом месте по медалям ..в последний раз

Sissel! Pretty, talented Norwegian children. Up-lifting. Very refreshing and encouraging. Lovely!

My grandparents were all Norwegian I wish they would have stayed. They didn’t teach their children Norwegian because of wanting them to be American, what a loss for me and my children. Could we come home?

[jimhults]

Jadzia: Which one the singer?
Jim: (Pointed at Sissel) That her.
Jadzia: She's not American.
Jim: so she can sing in Norwegian and she can speak English in our world. And she come to America to sing our National Anthem for our country.
