Olympics: Dwayne Johnson Hypes Team USA With Amazing Intro

“Right now some of the very best athletes in all of America are gathered underneath the stadium where the show you’ve been watching has been taking place,” Johnson said. “But in a matter of moments, everything changes. The longest wait of their lives is over and the culmination of their blood, sweat, and tears finally arrives.”

The Rock added, “It’s not easy to bring the entire planet together, and it certainly wasn’t easy tonight, but here we are. Tonight we are all so lucky to witness the hardest workers in the room; the athletes who are a brilliant tapestry of talent, commitment, and drive. And now what was once considered unthinkable one year ago is a glorious reality. We come together united to celebrate the Olympians who exemplify the very best in all of us.”

“They’re kids from Minneapolis, Raleigh, and Honolulu. They’re working moms with unfinished business. They’re barrier breakers who’ve proven the power of their platform. And they’re teams who have dominated for generations with no intention of changing the script for this one,” Johnson continued. “These awe-inspiring, multi-talented athletes are taking on the world. They really are the best of us. They’re bringing us together and they’re about to bring you, at long last, the greatest two-week spectacle the world has ever seen… It is their Games. It is our Games. Ladies and gentleman, I am so grateful in having the honor to present to you, Team USA.”
