With the year to go marks just passing for both the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2020 Summer Paralympics, I thought it’d be fun to have friendly little vote and discussion about what is the best national anthem? Please look below for the rules.

 

Anthem Eligibility:

1.1: All anthems discussed and voted for below must be from current National Olympic Committees

1.2: Countries with unrecognized National Olympic Committees will not count (New Caledonia, Tahiti, Faroe Islands)

1.3: Because suspended NOC athletes and Refugees compete under the authority of the IOC, the Olympic Anthem is eligible

1.4: Rules on eligibility made be changed should such a need be recognized by the community

 

Voting and Voting Format:

2.1 Each participating user will choose their top 3 anthems and rank them Gold Medal, Silver Medal, Bronze Medal.

2.2 Additionally each user may also choose up to 2 extra anthems for special mention (this will be used as tiebreaker).

2.3 Users may not vote for their own NOCs national anthem

 

Anthem Ranking:

3.1 Anthems will be ranked using the Olympic Medal Table style.

3.2 Special Mentions will be used to break ties.

 

Rules Amendments:

4.1 Amendments may be added at any time.

Silver Medal: :ITA Italy (Il Canto degli Italiani)

Ones that just missed my top 5: :RUS Russian Federation (Gosudartvennyy Gimm Rossiyskoy Federatsii), :RSA South Africa (Nkosi Sikelel’ iAfrika), and :NEP Nepal (Sayaū Thūgā Phūlka)

 

The Worst: :USA United States (Star Spangled Banner), :NED Netherlands (Wilhelmus van Nassouwe), :FIJ Fiji (God Bless Fiji (with a better anthem please)), :ESP Spain (Marcha Real) add some lyrics please, or write a new one (that’d be cooler)

Very hard choice 

 

Gold : South Africa 

Silver : Japan 

Bronze : Kenya 

 

Special mentions : Italy , Kazakhstan, Germany , Russia,  Israel,  China,  Iraq , but I'll choose Kazakhstan and Russia to be in my top 5 list 

 

Worst : I honestly don't see any bad anthems, every national anthem has its traditions and reflecting culture of any country so I'll choose none
