We don’t really have a national song in the US (at least not that I can think of). We’re pretty sectarian when it comes to sports, so generally songs are associated with certain regions/teams

 

well, there a couple of songs that make majority of people automatically think about sports, even if this was not the real purpose :p

Your nations most popular Sport songs ?

 

Here are some popular:

 

This song was made to support our men's national team for the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico.

 

Made about our women's curling team in the 1998 WOG in Nagano. 

 

A song made to celebrate Bjarne Riis' victory in Tour de France in 1996. 

 

This is not really a song made for any specific event, person or team. This song was created for a satire show about a fictive cycling team which is sponsored by a fictive condom manufacturing company named Easy On. 

 

Lastly, it is almost guaranteed you will hear a part of the chorus from this song when you attend a handball match in Denmark.

Well. The former TISC-song "Sæsonen er slut" seems to be a good theme song for this summer (at least in Denmark)

 

 

Spoiler
The summer is over now
And it almost fled
You are left behind barehanded and can simply not follow
Everything goes black
While you are standing staring here and looking
Another dead run will be run with you as a blind passenger
Once again but then never again

A very touching song for victims of depression from a singing variety show last week. 

 

Hua Chenyu - I Want to Love This World So Much

华晨宇 - 好想爱这个世界啊

Time for the post-TISC dump of no longer eligible songs:

 

“Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela

    • I love that it is more straightforward in relation to the number of quotas and does not allow possible problems as it was in Tokyo and Paris.
    • I love the judo qualification system, for me is the best in all disciplines. It combines a strong circuit, and it allows 100 or so countries to participate in.   So, maybe, if UWW does its job properly, it will be a good thing.
    • China Media Group (CMG) will broadcast all 116 gold medal events of the Milan Winter Olympics live on CCTV-1, CCTV-5, CCTV-5+ and CCTV-16. It will also use technologies such as 4K/8K ultra-high definition to enhance the viewing experience. Live broadcasts of all events will be carried out from 16:00 Beijing time to 06:00 the next day.
    • The strength of the UK is that they are 100% focused on the track, while Italy must to navigate between the track and the road: the line-up is different for practically every event, etc. Paternoster should focus 100% on the track; she won't win anything big on the road anymore. As it is, she's weak both there and there. The situation is different with Balsamo, as she's also having significant success on the road and likely earns the most money there.
    • Discovery+ in the UK have also got their schedule up now.     I notice that only thing listed as being in UHD is the Opening Ceremony though....     
    • The problem over the last few years was that no-one was able to keep pace with the big Katie Archibald turns. Looks to be sorted now.  
    • The women's top 50 is so crammed with athletes from the same five nations that it is not inconceivable they are unable to fill the full quota from the top 50, in which case a third double spot would open up between USA/BEL/GBR
    • That women's pursuit team looks brutally fast. Batter you over the head into submission brutal, perhaps not seen since the early Trott-Rowsell days The 4 minute barrier could be on borrowed time.   The two British women sprinters Finucane and Caldwell also look pretty ominous, indeed the whole women's sprint team looks in some shape and with some depth to get that result without Finucane   Work to do for the British men's teams, but they won't be unhappy either, not to mention Joe Truman's unexpected Kilo win.
    • I prefer to do mine like this guy (https://app.podiumsport.it/) does his "Projected Medals" as probability based rather than straight medal picking... all things being equal, conversion rates should be about the same and the outliers come out in the wash. Unfortunately most people just like medal picking, and think any other approach is weird  
    • So probably: Men Oceania: Americas: Africa: Asia: One of  Europe: One of Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (probably not)  and whichever countries don’t qualify from Asian Games.  Universality: ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of the above in World Rankings    and one of  (most likely) or  seem safe with two quotas. The other will be favourites if a third team gets allocated two.    Women Oceania: Europe: One of Americas:  /  if US is ineligible due to their host quota, if the host quota gets reallocated then Canada will be in contention in the rankings Africa:   Asia: One of   Host: World Rankings: Combination of  (x1?)  (x1/2)  (x1/2), whichever doesn’t qualify out of  / ,  and  ? Final Qualification Tournament: One of above.  Universality: ?    is safe with two quotas between  it’ll be tough for whoever misses out of those three.   nevermind ,
