Olympian1010 7,470 Posted September 6, 2019 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2019 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. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.
