Question

Which competitors have you noticed actually know their national anthem?

I know Australians aren't brilliant but we do well enough.

Usain Bolt new it word for word but most other countries don't know one word.

Answer 1

I wonder if the athletes from 'adopted' countries have to learn it?  Have you noticed anyone singing the wrong words?

I have not seen anyone really belt it out, but that would be cool.

BTW, could you tell the opening ceremony Chinese girl was syncing?

Answer 6

I've been watching a lot of medal ceremonies where China won, since they have the most gold medals, and I can't remember a situation where they didn't know the national anthem.  Of course, the crowd helps a lot, but I think all of the Chinese gold medalists know the anthem.
