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)
Yes, it happened when Phelps won his first gold, and he was mouthing the words. President Bush was there, too. I read where the technicians played it again and again in full after everyone had left to make sure it didn’t happen again (knowing that they would need it a LOT for the swimming events).
I think that was when Phelps won his first gold the other day. I can’t remember in which event.
