LDOG 2,181 Posted September 7, 2019 #11 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Gold: - the Soviet is better. Silver: - Epic. When I think of power I think of this anthem. Bronze: - Beautiful medley of languages. Its "twin anthem" of is not as good. Special mentions: Also, as mentioned above is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griff88 1,729 Posted September 7, 2019 #12 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Gold - Definitely a masterpiece Silver - Switching languages has never been more fun Bronze - 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. amen09 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
