↑ When New Zealand's rowing eight collected their gold medals at the Munich games, the band played "God Defend New Zealand" instead of "God Save the Queen". As it was not yet a national anthem, this contravened Olympic rules, and there has been no explanation of why it happened.[6] The crew of the coxed eight standing on the victory dais overcome with emotion and "bawling like babies" is considered one of New Zealand's most memorable sporting moments.[8]
