Why haven't I seen any of the U.S. Olympians singing the National Anthem? I've seen other countries do it. Kinda gets me sad. Shawn Johnson was the only one I saw put her hand on her heart too.

Maybe I'm just watching it too much, but almost all of the swimmers both sang and had their hands on their hearts. I haven't seen it too much during the Track and Field competition though

All of the US Women's Gymnastic Team had their hands on their hearts, from the ceremonies I saw. Michael Phelps tried to sing (with his hand on his heart), but was too overcome.

I'll be the first to admit that I haven't seen most of the medal ceremonies, but I wasn't terribly upset by those I did see.

Mens Basketball Team including Kobe singing. At the end, you can see Coach K was teared up: http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/pla...elcode=sportbk
