"All rooting together for them," she added, referring to Team USA's athletes.

Beyoncé then went on to mention some of her favorite athletes, including track and field stars Noah Lyles and Sha'Carri Richardson, swimmers Caeleb Dressel and Katie Ledecky, as well as gymnast Simone Biles.

"We've got superstars, and we've got legends," Beyoncé said. "We've got big dreamers who fought their whole lives to get here. Who gave up everything for one shot, and made it."
