1. I'm not really into the nationalist thing, but
I have to admit, it was thrilling to see the stands full of people singing the Greek national anthem with such pride when Fani Chalkia accepted her gold medal. It brought tears to my eyes...

3. I felt the same when the Israeli got his medal
it wasns't stands full of people, but there was a large group and they sang with all they had. Their national anthem is beautiful.

5. I've heard quite a few actually.
But I've been watching basically 'round the clock. So far I have heard Israel, Greece, Japan, Russia, China, Italy, and Australia.
