The Olympic Games is a two-week smorgasbord of sports. But it’s not just the sporting action that makes the Olympics the Olympics – it’s the music too. Music features throughout the Games, in the ceremonies, the entrances and exits, the TV coverage and more besides. Marco Werman talks with The World’s Alex Gallafent who’s been trawling through the archives for examples, from the sublime to the ridiculous.
Our coverage reaches millions each week, but only a small fraction of listeners contribute to sustain our program. We still need 224 more people to donate $100 or $10/monthly to unlock our $67,000 match. Will you help us get there today?
