Ok I listened to it again - yay! - and there are SIX musical errors in the Olympic version of "O Canada" we hear in Milan. (Five instances of what should be a dotted-eighth/sixteenth that are played as straight eighths - on "with" in "with glowing hearts", for instance - and the doubling in length of the ending.)
Grrr.

This, btw, is the official sheet music for "O Canada" from the National Anthem of Canada Act.
But even IT HAS A FREAKING NOTATION MISTAKE IN IT. (The dot on 'The' in bar 10 should be beside the eighth note, not on top of it. It's notated here as staccato, rather than dotted, meaning that, officially, legally, our anthem has 27 bars of 4/4 and one bar of 15/16.)
No wonder the Olympic version is confused.

Any chance it's a bilingual arrangement where the line
With glowing hearts we see thee rise
is meant to be sung as
Car ton bras sait porter l’épée
Maybe? Peut-être?
