How many award ceremonies filled with national anthems resonate at the Tokyo Olympics. Flags are raised. And the proud winners receive their medals singing the national anthem at the top of their lungs so that the whole planet can hear of their triumph and their belonging to their country. And while one of these celebrations was being broadcast on television and we silently watched, taking advantage of a break in the office, someone asked if in their countries that unverifiable fact was also circulating that claimed that our anthems (no matter if the story had been told in Peru, Colombia, Chile or Mexico) They had been selected as the second most beautiful, always remaining at the top of the podium The Marseillaise. The director then recalled hearing such nonsense during a childhood vacation in Cartagena, from the tour guide, who, with such a story, wanted to impress the participants of the tour who had not been born in these lands. Can you imagine the situation, the characteristics of that competition? Can you believe in an event where a jury with sadomasochistic tendencies has to listen to two hundred and some national odes and conclude that, after the indisputable triumph of the French, a song whose lyrics include, for example, «"In furrows of pain, goodness already germinates,", o «"Let us renew the great oath we swore to the God of Jacob"»?
One additional detail: the Russians, as punishment for their disciplinary offenses in previous years in the area of doping, cannot celebrate at the Olympics under the warmth of their flag, nor sing their anthem when they win. For that, they must resign themselves to listening, in moments of glory, to Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1. Perhaps if they had selected the cannons better... Overture 1812, where Napoleon's great defeat on the steppes and his advance to Moscow are commemorated, they would have fared better, and perhaps the public commotion they were hoping for would have materialized. Unfortunately, The people in charge of these kinds of matters are much more serious than we deserve.
