OMG! I really became very emotional when first read this story about the blind child Babo. Turns out - the narrative shared with this video is false! This post is fake! Why would anyone do this, play a hoax like that with unsuspecting viewers emotions?

The performers however are real! You can see many other videos of their ice dancing! They are champions! ❤👏
