Team GB athletes will learn anthem - head coach

[Saint in Paradise]

Any thoughts about this?

 

 

"GB athletes will know the words to the national anthem before the London Games, UK Athletics head coach

Charles van Commenee says.

 

The Dutchman believes the step is necessary to head off potential criticism over "plastic Brits" - athletes

who have switched allegiance to represent Team GB at the Olympics.

 

Van Commenee said: "They know the words, or they will".

It is sad that so many non-Brits will be representing us at the Olympics.

 

I don't agree with it in any sport.

I do think they should know our national anthem!
