Please choose another Gold Medalist. East Germany does not satisfy the requirements (you can leave as gold, but choose another one as well please)

Worst : national anthem  who glorifies something else besides the nation (like the King...)     .....

 doesn't have an official anthem nor does it have an NOC. The closest thing to an anthem is probably "Jerusalem" which is a call for social justice and doesn't glorify anything apart perhaps from the English countryside.

However, if it were not for the restrictions I would go for  which manages to be both beautiful and stirring and always brings a tear to my eye even though I am not from that country. Like a number of others I also have a soft spot for  despite what it represents.

I’m going to have a commonwealth themed one in 2021 or 2022 to celebrate the games.  can get chosen then. I quite like “Jerusalem” by the way. Scotland’s got an odd song they use too.

Because this is a celebration of Olympic anthems. East Germany doesn’t exist and they don’t have a current NOC. If the anthem is the same as current Germany, I can except it.
