And what was with the music of the eighties during the march? I laughed so hard when Norway marched in to "YMCA".
But they played "Freedom" when the American team walked in. I liked that.
I kept trying to explain to my children that the Italians are extremely cultured, sophisticated, elegant people with an artistic tradition going back more than two millenia. And the kids were rolling on the floor at the evidence before them. This was horrendous.
I was desperately wishing that the crowd or the athletes would break into a rousing dance to go with YMCA!
