Channel Four Paralympics coverage

[Guy Incognito]

So , in the UK when channel 4 covered the 2012 London Paralympics, it was the most watched of the paralympics ever and it was a big success.

One of those successes was Channel 4 using Public Enemy's "HArder than you think" which didnt do a lot first time round and then went to Number one after being used in the coverage.


Now they are doing the coverage for the 2014 Winter PAralympics and they are using this as their theme tune. I hope the same thing happens.

i made a mistake when i read wiki wrong. It went to number 4

but there was a nice bit when they performed at glastonbury last year (with out flavor) where Chuck D thanked the uk for making the song popular but i cant find it on youtube

They use to play the instrumental for Harder Than You Think on ESPN for a while.

I like that tune a lot.

Turns out that for the actual coverage they are using public enemy again for the intro and when they got to adverts:(
