At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, a group of children sang Olympic hymns in Greek. Olympic ode, also known as Olympic hymn or Olympic ode, comes from the poems of Greek poet and writer palamas and the songs of Greek composer samaras.
Ode to the Olympics was first played at the opening ceremony of the first Summer Olympic Games in 1896, but it was not designated as the Olympic anthem at that time. 1958, this song was designated as the Olympic anthem, and it can be heard at the opening and closing ceremonies of every Olympic Games.
Creation background
The hymn was first sung at the opening ceremony of the first Summer Olympic Games in 1896, but it was not confirmed as the Olympic anthem at that time. Since then, all the Olympic Games have been decided by the host, and there is no unified form of anthem.
For example, the anthem of 1936 Berlin Olympic Games was specially written by Strauss, while that of 1948 Olympic Games was composed by quilter, and Kipling wrote Not for Yourself as the anthem.
