No.
I'll give it a bit and then try and find a free-to-watch replay of it.

Sports aren't usually my thing either, but the dance stuff and the gymnastics stuff and the figure skating are all so pretty...

Well I’m not a sports person either but watching the opening and ending ceremonies are a treat. There’s really nothing sporty about it, it’s just dance and song and artistic performances lol.
And really how can you miss Celine dion singing in public again after all she’s been through? I remember reading an article about an interview she did and she was saying that “even if she had to crawl, or use her hands, she was going to get up on that stage again.” Respect man.

Stiff Person Syndrome. People who have stiff person syndrome can experience severe muscle spasms and other unpleasant symptoms that can worsen without treatment.

Huh, learn something new every day. Now I know what stiff person syndrome is.
Thanks for the link, Den, it was super helpful.
Also sounds like a tricky one to try and manage for someone doing live performances. With recordings, you can reschedule as much as you need to, but for a live concert an ill-timed episode would be a real problem. She's a determined woman!

Yeah she said in an interview that her condition is so bad, sometimes the tightness in her body broke her ribs. BROKE HER RIBS. she can’t control her body, she can’t do simple things. It’s so heartbreaking. But she’s also a very determined woman with a lot of willpower and strength.

Huh
I've seen plenty of cases of muscle spasms dislocating or displacing bones, but I've never seen one where it actually broke the bones before. I wonder if she also has osteoporosis or another bone-weakening issue? The combination would be very difficult!
I hope she is doing well enough financially to be able to afford the kind of health support required for that level of trouble; wealth may not fix much directly but it definitely makes an impact on quality of life.
