The President of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Alejandro Blanco, wants to put words to the country's national anthem. More specifically, he wants them to be about sports and not politics. Sr Blanco said many Spanish sportsmen have commented that they feel out of it when sportsmen from other countries belt out the words to their respective countries' anthems. He said: "They want to express their pride in their country, just as the English and the French do." Apparently the government has already given him the go-ahead and he is now looking for the right auteur.
