    When I won my gold I just hummed the Welsh anthem in my head.

    '84 Los Angeles just in case you were wondering.

    I may have imagined this, but wasn't there a story (I think Olympics) where Ireland won a medal but they didn't have the anthem so played "Oh Danny Boy" instead?

    in my opinion the three best national anthems in in the world, are the the russian , welsh and german .

    the british national anthem is crap.

    Best foot tapping anthems: France, Ireland, Italy. The French one has to be the darkest too with references to bloody fields and throat slitting. Worst one? Undoubtedly England/Britain. It's religious shite combined with obsequious royal sphincter worshipping.

    In the Euros the French were in awe of our anthem as was everyone else. One thing that certainly came out of that tournament was a ranking system for anthems. Wales won by a mile. Belgian fans were crying in some instances stuck in our end when we sang. One said to me 'the best, the very best anthem, bravo"

    There could be so much more done to have the UK represented in media for Team GB but the British national anthem is not where I would be changing things....unless you're talking about England using the British anthem.

    I hear Len fairclough took the silver and that particular swimming pool activity was then banned for ever from the olympics
