With the official opening of the Olympic Games today I am presenting some songs that remind me of the Olympics. Some have nothing to do with the Olympics but were used in coverage or documentaries that I watched during the Olympics and since then always remind me of the Games:

 

 

Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé - Barcelona

 

 

 

 

 

Elbow - One Day Like This

 

 

 

 

Enigma - Return To Innocence

 

 

 

 

Polyphonic Spree - Reach For The Sun

 

 

 

 

Whitney Houston - One Moment in Time

 

 

 

 

 

Moby - Porcelain

 

 

 

 

 

Gloria Estefan - Reach


 

 

 

 

Lisa Gerrard - Now We Are Free

@OlympicIRL  For me it would be this one, from Sydney 2000, "Dare to Dream".

I was young back then, 13 years old, it was the first olympics I ever seen, and seeing recently freed East Timor receiving standing ovation, the Koreas standing together in the parades, and all the ceremony with this kind of motivational  and peace songs, I ended up really believing in the Olympic spirit!! :d

Oh Porcelain, yep. Totally reminds me too about the OG. 

Right now though I'm listening to this song and idk it makes me think about sportsmen and and sportswomen somehow (probably it's only me):

 

 

...and this too, as the TV spot reminded me

    • Ju Jitsu    One of the worst martial arts really. Surely the middle east lobby.   The -52kg W final  deserved to win gold and did all attacks still lost to  who was trailing even on advantages and did nothing.      Total mockery of the sport. C'mon I'll happily watch Wushu here instead. Really wished to watch woodball 
    • I couldn't find any intro on asian games hub for these games 
    • Just realised there is Teqball here     Explains why there is no Sepaktakraw    I think the Teqball federation may have pledged to contribute to the hosting costs for the sport making it an easy choice for organizers and anyhow retired / 3rd string Sepaktakraw players only play it so believe that was the reason.     Anyway hate that artificial sport
    • Day #6 Medallists (Olympic Total only)   women's -86kg:       men's -94kg:         not the best day in Karlos Nasar's career, but it was enough to easily win also Today's competition and enlarge his gold medals collection

    • won the Team Sprint for the 1st time ever!      OK, no  and , but there were the  guys and  with "King" Lavreysen    so, still an amazing result to be proud of    in the meantime, not such a good ride in the men's Team Pursuit (the women were there with the Z-team, so, not worth any comment)
