Gold: :RUS - the Soviet is better.

 

Silver: :KAZ - Epic. When I think of power I think of this anthem.

 

Bronze: :RSA - Beautiful medley of languages. Its "twin anthem" of :ZAM is not as good.

 

 

Special mentions: :NEP :GRE

 

Also, as mentioned above :GDR is fantastic.

Gold - :RUS Definitely a masterpiece

 

Silver - :RSA Switching languages has never been more fun

 

Bronze - :UKR I really love the line "our enemy will vanish like dew under the sun" (I used it as my bio on my social media accounts)

 

Special mentions: :NEP   :TKM

Since I’m not very good with tables, I’m going to wait few days to publish the medal table.

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

Gold : Russia 

Silver :Brazil

Bronze : Italia

 

Special mentions :  Algeria , Irak ,France  

 

 

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

:ENG 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.

1/ :RUS

 

2/:RSA

 

3/:FRA

 

However, if it were not for the restrictions I would go for :WAL 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 :GDR despite what it represents.

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

But why exactly? That's so arbitrary. :wacko:

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.

    • Lots of people do though. They may be unhappy with it, but I don't see anybody physically attacking the centre of power just yet. Four years ago, that's when we really saw people genuinely refusing to accept the result en masse. This time even the losing candidate, as they should, conceded shortly after the election. Which should obviously be normal, but last time that happened was already 8 years ago.
    • I still can't get over the shock!   Many thanks to all the juries who voted for . From the number of points, it looks like you either loved or hated the song. Nothing in between. I was quite curious to see how the scoring for a stereotypical four-chord song would develop. And it looks like the mainstream has won this time.    At the same time, I want to congratulate  @Belle for a great and exciting battle, and also  @Erigert for the first podium! I am already looking forward to seeing you on this ground next year. I must not forget the great organization of   @Cinnamon Bun! Great job! I realize that during the organization there were many obstacles that you had to deal with. My admiration for you is even greater.    As the winner of the competition, I am happy to take over the hosting from Great Britain (who took over the hosting from us the year before). I will try to create an even more impressive event than when held the competition two years ago.   ... Mikolas Josef also saying a big thank you     
    • Oh well, let's just say it says enough about someone's character indeed  
    • Pakistan will oppose India's bid for hosting 2036 Olympics Games as India denied to participate in Champions Trophy 2025 Cricket which was hosted by Pakistan   https://timesofkarachi.pk/43636-pakistan-oppose-indias-bid-olympics-2036/
    • Yeah, his first season was a letdown since he was injured most of the time. But he's played in all 15 league games this season so far   http://www.90minut.pl/wystepy.php?id=42090&id_sezon=105
    • Looks like NHL players are going to be allowed in the next 2 Olympics, if you are to believe a Bulgarian website, that quotes Bettman. Not sure how serious this info is.
    • Sad to see that my top 3 didn’t win, but at least know that they have a fix place in my Spotify playlist now hehe (Hungary, France and Greece. The Dutch one I hear it every now and then in the radio and at new years anyway)   nice contest with some good music, and congrats for all the huge effort from the organiser in making this happen, it really is a fun tradition even if we’re not that many anymore
    • surprised, he is not injured this time  most of the time when I hear his name in our media, it's about his new injury     
    • Being sad about a result isn't quite the same as not accepting... Haven't heard about any democrats trying to overturn the democratic election so far
    • You sure seem like a nice guy...
