And she did say that as her parents are originally from the UK she liked that they played God save the queen as it covered all her heritage

@@MrJohnheywood ... there is no confusion for Bermudians. The Queen is on the monitary coins and dollars and so is the anthem played, long before "Hail to Bermuda" was written. I grew up on "GSTQ"

"God Save the Queen" is Bermuda's national anthem...whereas Hail To Bermuda is Bermuda's national song.

Sounds like “America the Beautiful” vs “The Star Spangled Banner” for Americans

Makes sense I just wonder how flora felt as I’m sure she could if asked for hail to Bermuda to be used. Also the team that that got bronze was probably like huh hah So basically any over sea territory that uses GSTQ as their anthem it will be played for a gold medal

Hahaha true😆

Maybe with different version that use for Great Britain

That's a win-win situation.

Imagine being the best country ever.

@@umianggraeni7989 nope ..it same

... we were cheering for her from Florida (my parents came to visit me and my family)

God Save the Queen!!! and God bless Bermuda!!

@@richardguzman1131 ... doubt "God" will be blessing much, consider Bermuda is now embracing the same vileness that the Godless world is.

So proud of my Bermuda brothers and sisters 🇬🇧❤️🇧🇲

Are you from Bermuda?

I was born there

Don't forget the US but it would be sung as "My Country 'Tis For Thee".

​@@paolocabling why would we know that?

@SlayrPratyushPP87 Union Jack is the flag of the UK

do some research on canada

@@luckyboi4005 Canada isn’t a uk overseas territory. It’s an independent nation

@@oliversudden9162 Yes, it is just a crown dominion.

@SlayrPratyushPP87 Both Union Flag and Union Jack are correct!

Looks like a bit of confusion , Bermudas official anthem is God Save The Queen however they do have a local anthem as well. It seems in this case the official anthem was used.

@@britishoverseasterritories4036 it should not have been. This is a massive honor and it should not be overshadowed by the anthem of a separate nation, “official” or not.

@@BrickPerfected it doesn't matter what you think or want. Do you also want to throw a tantrum over the union jack being in their flag as well? Fact is, they are a British overseas territory and like it that way

Could also be that the silver medalist was the only one singing because I bet Flora might've been used to hearing another anthem.

Any real Bermudian is not troubled by this. "Hail to Bermuda" didn't even exist when I was a boy. At night, when it struck 12AM and TV would go off, EVERY NIGHT it was "God Save the Queen." EVERY Service Member answers the call to draft "In Her Majesty's Service" So ... the only people who are off boot about this, are non-Bermudians who just don't get it, or probably this younger generation.

When I was a child in Bermuda, we sang all 3 verses.

I don't know anyone who knows more than one verse lol, would just be standing there like a melon

@@suehunt7041 which great British University did you attend? Oxford, Cambridge or Hull?

@@JohnSmithShields only two of those are great universities Oxford is a complete dump

@@suehunt7041 I wish we did here in the UK too, especially the 2nd verse

true i been fucking stressful why they dont upload more full medal ceremony,i feel very sad cuz we cant watvh live hmmm

Just watch the highlight on tv they had medal ceremony’s

They're putting up replays of most events now that they're not beholden you the broadcast rights they've monetized

Yeah, America footage is piss. They only care about interviewing AMERICAN athletes, even it its a bronze or a fail. We've been noticing this piss poor bias.

This is because of medal ceremonies being on Olympic Channel Home of Team USA.

the whole event is now available on nbc's Olympic youtube site :)

Current

Japan is never been a colony of UK. Lol

@@anneyyyyy8025 they are talking about the bermuda

yup all colonies of uk are so successful but same cannot be said about Portugal (Brazil)and Spain (,Mexico)

I think the USA was more of a colony.... Its name was actually 13 _Colonies_

@@Studios10the British overseas territories are still colonies just the name changed

LOL. That's funny

Nope. Flora is a Bermudian.

Our colony did well

*Colony. We don't have any more dominions

what would they use? It is the official anthem

@@kenny8654 that’s what I said lol

dia tertawa

Uh ... I dunno if THAT will ever happen. But, she definately should get some sort of monument in honor of her accomplishment.

I don't think that will be fitting as the airport is already named after a Bermuda hero the late Frederick Wade. It would be better if the National Sports Centre would be renamed "Flora Duffy Sports Centre" as it is currently not named after anyone.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7KjlJenqaennJs.html This one

UK anthem is the inspiration of U.S Ant. (I think it was "My Country, 'Tis of Thee", whose melody is identical to "God Save the Queen".)

@@JV-yd4qg What a joke! The UK anthem has been around since the 1740s.

@@harisadu8998 Check your post tho.😅

@@JV-yd4qg God save the Queen/King is older than United states of America lmao

@@Charlie-xz8dg The reason why said that.👌

commonwealth realms(canada,australia,nz etc) use this as royal anthem so technically 16+ countries have heard this tune for 100 years+

its a 2 in 1 deal lmao

Leichtenstein's anthem uses the same melody as well

@@Charlie-xz8dg well technically in New Zealand GSTQ is not a royal anthem like the rest of the commonwealth realms, but legally is a national anthem alongside God Defend New Zealand.

Firstly, there isn't anymore any crown colony, all are overseas territories (there's a huge difference, an overseas territory has a full and complete autonomy and it runs its own internal affairs by its own, democratically by elections, but they count on the UK for their external affairs, military protection and economic support. A crown colony is ruled directly from London in every aspect and the status of a colony is not by the approval of the native people of that place) that have chosen to be under the status of a British Overseas territory and no-one force them to be like that. Secondly, Australia, New Zealand and Canada used to be dominions and now they are commonwealth realms, so they are completely independent from the UK, but the head of state is the British monarch that has a separate throne title to every commonwealth realm (for exp. Queen of Canada, Queen of Jamaica, Queen of Australia etc). Thirdly, GSTQ is still legally in use in the commonwealth realms as a royal anthem, except New Zealand that has the status of a national anthem alongside God Defend New Zealand and is the official and legal national anthem of every overseas territory.

pretty sure there have been others but heres one from 25 years ago kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jL19fMmkmpjemJs.html

Probably Hong Kong in 1996

It's not the same thing but in 2016, Puerto Rico won gold at the Olympics for the first time so they got the star spangled banner.

For the Olympics it would be Hong Kong 1996, for the Commonwealth Games it would be the 2018 Gold Coast Games with the British Virgin Islands winning gold. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iMpjnZmfutrKlXk.html

Cool. Thanks for the replies!

Bermuda have had their own independent olympic association since 1936

@@AdamTheMan1993 even stranger then that they have to listen to GSTQ

@@heinkle1 no it's not strange since the official national anthem of Bermuda is GSTQ because Bermuda is a British overseas territory and not an independent country.

@@stgr0186 I was being tongue in cheek

Probably expected Hail to Bermuda

Alas, Japan had a big paranoia about the whole thing.

Yes, it's the wrong proportion for the Union Jack flag, but in order to keep the proportions equal to most of the world's flags, the Union Jack flag has two. The proportion 1 used at sea is 2:1. Used in the land is 3.5

If you saw her glance at the silver medalist, then that must be the case.

Hail to Bermuda is the territorial anthem. God Save the Queen is the official anthem, as Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory.

Bermuda is a territory and not fully autonomous. Territories around the world usually answer to or belong to an overseeing power; in this case Britain. Thus, Britain's anthem.

@@mrAZcardinal actually Bermuda is completely autonomous just not independent and there's a difference.

It was probably more like she heard her singing too.

it never will be.

LEgally it is Flora's anthem as Bermuda is a British colony after all.
