The Chinese children choir in their traditional dress of all 56 tribes singing the original Greek anthem, made it sound a soul-touching conversation between these two great ancient civilizations, transcending time and space, bridging history and reality.
I was in the Stadium that night in 2008, also in 2004 in Athens. Sung in the original Greek and in the full version as intended, not in a truncated, orchestrated, or stupid translation. Hear THIS London, Vancouver, Torino et al, and be ASHAMED of your ridiculous rock shows!
INDEED the Chinese children in 2022 repeated the achievement of singing the Olympic Anthem in its original greek as the Greek poet Costis Palamas wrote it for the first modern Olympics in Athen in 1996! WELL DONE CHINA!
The original Olympic anthem is in Greek...! The anthem asks the ancient and immortal Olympic spirit to appear again all over the athletes !!! Chinese children sang the anthem in Greek !! London Why you couldn't do that.... ?
Thank you China for respecting the Olympic Hymn and singing the original Greek lyrics! Shame on everyone else being lazy and choosing to sing their own language version....
It's an effort to make the Olympic anthem available in other language of various host countries not just Greece. I don't think that's lazy or disrespectful for the anthem but it reflects the international adaption of the hymn that it can sound beautiful in any language so one may understand in their own language. The Greek lyrics make it more significant when the Olympics are held back in its home country Greece or in homage to the ancient Greek Olympics as well as honor to their Greek God, Zeus. "Descend with a rod of lightning"

Is this from the opening or from the closing ceremony; I now this kids sung in the closing ceremony but I can't remember if they were part of the opening ceremony.
I dont' think this is lip sync. It's real. I also can sing chorus and also in chorus group. People can do over self-capacities more than their thinking. Practice can make this performance go perfect, right?
I learned to sing the anthem too so I reckon at that time a lot of students or kids were learning to sing it. Of course we couldn't get every sound right but still it sounded beautiful as choir. I this it's real too because I have seen Chinese students sing just as well as these kids.
+Abdulah Atan Shanghai is unlikely, as the Chinese capital of Beijing is to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, and previously hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics.
Excellent Beijing!! Gongrats!! You sang greek flawlessly!! DO YOU HEAR THAT LONDON?? THAT'S the Olympic Anthem!
the best olympic hymn performance ever!!
Beautiful moment when the Chinese military salutes the Olympic flag showing the utmost respect and reverence to the flag
It sure is a beautiful moment because I love that part.
Respect to Chinese who learn the original greek lyrics og the anthem
Respect!!
Beijing will host the winter games in 2022 so the Olympic hymn will sung for the first time in Chinese.
mate that was not easy. I learned to sing it too for my high school's choirs competition
chinese being a very proud and ancient civilization respecting another proud and ancient civilization is the most wholesome thing ever...

Wow. I am impressed by the Chinese. Very good effort! Congrats!
Well done China. Excellent performance!
At both Olympiads taking place in Beijing, Chinese kids had to learn a new language, Greek, in order to sing the Olympic anthem
I was in the Stadium that night in 2008, also in 2004 in Athens.
Sung in the original Greek and in the full version as intended, not in a truncated, orchestrated, or stupid translation.
Hear THIS London, Vancouver, Torino et al, and be ASHAMED of your ridiculous rock shows!
Omg congrats! You are respected from me ,I am Greek
The best version of this. roll on 2022!

LA MEJOR CEREMONIA OLIMPICA DE LA HISTORIA!!
THE BEST OLYMPIC CEREMONY IN HISTORY!!
You hear that, Vancouver ?
Even chinese kids can to it right ! GREEK !!

Thank you China for respecting the Olympic Hymn and singing the original Greek lyrics! Shame on everyone else being lazy and choosing to sing their own language version....
Greek should be the only language to sing the Olympic Anthem. Written and composed by Greeks to honour the games introduced by Greeks.
It's not about them being lazy; every host country has its reason why it chooses whether one version or the other.

2022 Olympics back to Beijing Again
Is this from the opening or from the closing ceremony;
I now this kids sung in the closing ceremony but I can't remember if they were part of the opening ceremony.
What about the delay in sound? How the hell did they do this?
I dont' think this is lip sync. It's real. I also can sing chorus and also in chorus group.

Well done Beijing not like London that killed the anthem by ONLY putting the music for the first time in years.

Lip synced and for your information Vancouver sang the Olympic Hymn by a soprano in French AND English.

Lip singing
