I heard the Japan, China. Australia, Italy, Greece, Great Britain, and Russian anthems played on NBC broadcasts. I thought the USA anthem was interesting and some alternative chord progressions were partly responsible for the softening sound along with the predominately string arrangement.

Yes, Mc Grathm Congrats on the UK sprinters in the 4X 100. a great exciting event, and very well run by your sprinters. They seem to actually concentrate on both the speed as well as the baton pass, in contrast to the American team who thought they were just going to be able to make it on shear speed.

Thread creep, but what about that guy who attacked the Brazilian marathon runner at about mile 24? WHen he charged out, I thought oh I hope it isn't jo9hn!
