Which sport programme has the best opening music?

I don't know about US equivalents, but here are the British ones I can throw into the mix.
Grand Prix
The first "cult" one really. It is the BBC music, used between 1976 and 1996, when ITV won the rights.
Grandstand
The most famous of all British sporting programmes. It was a multi-event programme, that featured just about everything. This tune is known by anybody. It was axed last year, but strangely, the sport it once contained still remains at the same time. So Grandstand didn't need to end. It ran for 48 years.
Test Match Special
Another old one. And a favourite. It has been the theme music to cricket on BBC TV and radio for more than 50 years. The radio version fades out at the end though.
Wimbledon
Another BBC favourite! The music has been on the air since the 80s, and is still used to this day.
Match of the Day
The BBC seems to rule the roost! Here is their intro to the Premier League highlights each week. Another hugely famous football song.
So, which is your favourite? I don't know what mine is... So your thoughts please!
