Not that I'm ever likely to be on a medal podium: the British national anthem is a dirge. Also (while not relevant to Team GB) it's the British national anthem; why can't England have its own, like the Scots and Welsh?

I did once sing the school song on Prefects' Green when my school won a swimming competition, though...
