The Paris Olympics are in full swing, with athletes from around the world competing in a wide range of sports. But have you ever wondered what music is playing in the background during commercial breaks or warmups? Well, we’ve got you covered with a cheeky musical guide to each sport.
From Taylor Swift’s “Lover” for archery to Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem’s “Forever” for basketball, each sport has its own perfect soundtrack. Whether you’re watching fencing or handball, there’s a song that perfectly captures the essence of the game.
For fans of skateboarding, Lupe Fiasco’s “Kick, Push” embodies the youthful spirit of the sport, while Miley Cyrus’s “The Climb” is a fitting anthem for perseverance in any competition. And for those tuning in to the sailing events, Billie Holiday’s classic “Me, Myself and I” sets the perfect tone.
But the musical choices don’t stop there. From table tennis to taekwondo, each sport has its own unique soundtrack that adds to the excitement of the games. And with the Olympics taking on special significance for athletes from the Palestinian territories, the energetic techno track from a Palestinian DJ is a fitting tribute to their hard work and dedication.
