I tape it just in case I miss the live action on a certain day and watch it back as soon as possible. I laugh, I cry, I scream, there are no losers in the Olympics as they have all spent a lifetime preparing, but I celebrate with the ones that go away with the gold, silver, and bronze medals.” The music video also features Parton decked out in stunning gold, silver and bronze sparkly dresses — representing each of the Olympic medals — as she belts out the lyrics in front of a backdrop of the Eiffel Tower.
