Harder Than You Think by Public Enemy. PARALYMPICS 2012.
This summer the supposed poor relative, the Paralympics, all but matched the Olympics for drama and heroes. My personal favourites were the athletics particularly David Weir’s and Hannah Cockcroft’s achievements – and our personal experience in the stadium made them all the more special. I’ve never experienced an atmosphere like that before.
But where the Paralympics scored way over the Olympics was in the choice of theme music by Channel 4. I can’t see the BBC opting for Public Enemy for a theme, but it turned out to be an inspired choice such that the tune took over my life for two weeks. I’m even prepared to forgive the annoying timing of Channel 4′s adverts for that selection!
