Feel free to use the music listed here in our Olympic Playlist on Spotify, or download the PDF below for a full list of songs.
Also, how about RIO RIO (Feat. B.O.B.) by Ester Dean from RIO 2 the motion picture. 🙂 I didn’t see it on the list.
Love it! Keep them coming!
Also,the new Katy Perry song “Rise” that was written for the Summer Olympics is the perfect song for an Olympic ride!
Awesome! Thanks Carrie. I just added it to the Spotify playlist and will incorporate into the PDF for the next posting. Thanks for the suggestion. We love expanding to our repertoire.
