My son and I were jumping and yelling too.
I was slightly disappointed that during the playing of the National Anthem I didn't see a single one of our guys mouthing the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner" at all. I always enjoy seeing our athletes singing their national anthem on the medal stand as it is played.
I was singing it, so were the american fans! I loved the whole thing! I stayed up late to watch it and I wasn’t disappointed at all.
Did you see the event where the USA national anthem was all botched up? Measures repeated (i.e., you couldn’t sing along cuz you couldn’t tell what verse the music was actually on) and it was CUT SHORT!!! In that event, the athletes WERE trying to sing along at first, but then kinda looked at each other with “huh?” written on their faces. My kids noticed it too ansked how that could happen. I told them it was either a bad technician on the controls or a willful insult.
I’ve watched so much I forget the event, but it was an indoor event (probably swimming)
