As a result of a dispute over what flag and anthem to use, the team participated in these games under a specially designed sporting flag. The flag consisted of a white field charged with a grey diamond, which represented the country's mineral wealth, three cascading bands of blue, orange, and green, which represented the sea, the land, and agriculture respectively, and the Olympic rings. [2] Team uniforms included the emblem of Olympic Committee of South Africa, which depicted Olympic rings surrounded by olive branches, with the name of the country above. The Olympic Committee of South Africa stated that Ludwig van Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" was picked as the team's anthem instead of the national anthem at the time, "Die Stem van Suid-Afrika", at these games to "represent national unity".[3] During the opening ceremony, the flag was carried by marathon runner Jan Tau.[citation needed]
