The Chinese children choir in their traditional dress of all 56 tribes sung the original Greek anthem. It just sounds like a soul-touching conversation between these two great ancient civilizations, transcending time and space, bridging history and reality.

In Rio 2016, the children who sang the Olympic anthem sang in English, not Greek. I think it was very difficult for the children to learn, even with a lot of rehearsal.

Those children truly sounded incredible. Learning the song in Greek must of taking a lot of work
Probably the best quality of Olympic Greek theme sung compared with other Olympics. Good choice of children a voice to give it an angelic edge to the feel of it

China sings in Greek because that’s probably the only ancient European civilization that is comparable to her own.

Spyridon Samaras, a greek, composed and wrote the hymn, so now you know in which language was written the hymn. The hymn is greek and so the games…

And French, the official language of Olympic Games.
It's seem to be customary now to have the Olympic anthem sung in either the original Greek text or have it sung in English. It probably also has gotten to be too much to try to translate the song into 200 plus principal languages. So having it done one of two languages is easier.
