The music you hear was created in support of Team USA and its continuing theme of Amazing Awaits. The USOC selected British composer Paul Leonard-Morgan to bring "amazing awaits" to life musically.

"'Amazing awaits' focuses on the athlete's journey—rather than winning medals," said Michael Lynch, Senior Vice President, Visa. "'Amazing awaits' speaks to the possibility, not the probability, that amazing things await us all," said Gordon Bowen, Chief Creative Officer for mcgarrybowen, in behalf of the USOC.
