Whether athletes win a medal or not, they can forever call themselves Olympians. The sporting competitions are undoubtedly the central focus of the Olympic Games and participating in the Games is the ultimate goal for most athletes.

Every edition has its own story to tell and will be remembered for some truly remarkable performances from sporting legends such as Jesse Owens, Abebe Bikila, Jean-Claude Killy, Nadia Comaneci, Katarina Witt, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to name just a few. =========================================

Brian is standing there all alone just with his guitar, 70 years old, rocks the whole stadium👏🏻♥️ every member of Queen is a legend that’s why Queen will never die ♥️♥️♥️

im honestly really happy for Brian and Roger, because they continue on the legacy of Queen, and they are doing something they genuinely love.

[snappiepappie]

I’m just happy Brian and Roger are still having fun

I was shocked to see on Spotify today that Queen have 4 songs at over a billion plays, while the Stones and Beatles have none. I love all three but there is definitely something about Queen that resonates genuinely generation to generation. This concert captures it perfectly.

Brian May amazes me. Like, he is an astrophysicist, active in the science community, saves baby animals and such, and still rocks the guitar with the same energy and mastery as in the good old days. And he is just the sweetest human being. Seeing him enjoy himself, like that at 2:13 and just reliving all the past performances was a privilege. Nostalgia at its finest. Bless this man ❤

The Freddie hologram part really hit me right in the feels.

[taralanzerotti]

When you are such a legend, that you get chosen to sing at the Olympics, more than 20 years after you died, instead of them choosing people who are still living...

'I dont care how you cover my songs' just dont make me boring .
The one and the best singer and rockstar

Jessie J had an impossible task, to fill Freddies shoes, and she was up for the challenge. Balls of steel on that girl. Respect.

[itskitty]

Freddie Mercury's hologram really got the crowd going. Freaking legendary

[goldbrickstudios]

Brian can work up a crowd with a homemade guitar, Freddie can control crowd even after death, Roger can play the most iconic beat in the world, and Jessie can sing to

[kylaszemplinski]

For those who didn't know, Brian May has a PhD in astrophysics. Yep. Isaac Newton came back from the dead to play guitar for Queen.

"I won't be a rockstar. I will be a legend"
-Freddie Mercury


Yes, you are Fred.

[Mortissss]

Love how Jesse J stops to let Brian May take center stage first. So much respect for a legend!

[muppet]

As Freddie said: "Do what you want with my music, just don't make it boring."

I hope we lived up to that Freddie, you glorious human being.

[soupyweb]

Brian and Roger still look so much like Rock Stars even with gray hair

[alexdredge]

why is no one talking about Brian may! he can still rock the guitar like a god

[huambo]

Freddie's been dead for 25 years, and he still has the stage presence of a god!
RIP Freddie. Always the best.

[adquilantang]

I love that just looking at him playing the guitar, you can tell he is enjoying every second of it

평생 다른 나라 사람들이 부러워 본 적이 없었는데 이 영상을 볼 때 만큼만은 영국 사람들이 엄청 부러워짐. 퀸이랑 프레디 영상으로 공연을 기획한 기획자는 천재인 것 같다.
