What language is the Olympic hymn in?

Question

I was watching the Olympics closing ceremony earlier and there were kids from all over the world singing the Oplympic hymn together, except I couldn't figure out what language it was in. I do know it's not English. Does anyone else know?

Answer 1

Its in Greek, as a tribute to the Olympics originating there.  I don't know if the link I'm putting says that its because thats where the Olympics started, but I remember they said that in the opening ceremony.  I'm just putting the link since it might have other info you want to know
