I think I heard a portion of the anthem in french during the closing ceremonies. But NBC in their idiotic Prime Time directive chose to tape delay the start, break at 10:30 PM for a Jerry Seinfeld creation they had spent the Olympics advertising, pause for local news and start again with the closing ceremonies finish at 11:30 PM. So it may not have been french, but snoring bouncing against the back of my head.

Ironic since the original lyrics were in French. There are two versions of the English lyrics, one a translation from the French and the other not.
