Talk:Olympic Hymn

message: "Writer Paul Smirnoff used the anthem and its Greek lyrics in his book "Götterdämmerung" as a rebel song."
I found the above sentence in the article with no reference at all.  Something has to be done about it and I removed it because it is, at best, a piece of useless trivia.96.3.72.93 (talk) 19:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

message: This line appears in the article:
The Olympic Hymn has the official status of a National Anthem.
What's "the official status of a National Anthem" when it's at home? Who declared it to have "the official status of a National Anthem"? Mendor 15:10, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I just entered a youtube link to the Torino Opening Ceremony.  I feel that it should be in there to show how short the anthem was.208.107.168.154 22:27, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Removed the Portuguese translation, not necessary - Greek is vital because those are the original lyrics and the article mentioned that it's sometimes sung in Greek in non-Greek-speaking host cities; and English is essential for understanding of the lyrics on an English language Wikipedia.  There is a link to the article in Portuguese if Portuguese translation is sought by the viewer. --Canuckguy (talk) 17:18, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

message: It is not true that a German version was sung at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. Both at the opening and closing ceremonies, a very unconventional instrumental arrangement was performed. You can verify this (at least for the opening ceremony) from some YouTube videos, e.g. . So I have removed that entry.

message: Hi. During the international broadcasting television special "The Millennium Event-2000 Today" when the transmission signal was in Athens a chorus at the Acropolis sang acapella the hymn I guess the first time that the hymn is not singing during an opening and closing Olympic ceremonies or an Olympic event like the Olympic Games host announcement or IOC Congress.

message: I am reading a book by Pierre de Coubertin about the first Olympics (Souvenirs d’Amérique et de Grèce, 1897). In 1896 the crowd liked it so much at the opening ceremony that they sung it a second time. Hektor (talk) 12:55, 27 February 2016 (UTC)
