Question re: music at 98 Olys
I was rewatching the pairs competition from the 98 Olympics the other day, and when I got to Meno & Sand's short programme, the first part of their music is nice but then the second part starts, and it's "Land of Hope and Glory", the proper full-orchestrated version, aka the national anthem of England! I was a bit surprised when I heard the music, not only with it being a national anthem but with it being for a country other than theirs. Has anyone else ever skated to a national anthem in competition? I don't remember ever seeing one. ??
