The US national anthem played at the 1896 Olympics in Athens was "The Star-Spangled Banner." However, it is noteworthy that the anthem was not officially adopted as the national anthem until 1931. During the 1896 Games, the anthem was played to honor American athletes, particularly the notable winner James Connolly, who made history as the first Olympic champion of the modern era.
