Athletes from Kazakhstan have been left fuming after their national anthem was mixed up with a spoof version from the film "Borat" and played at a medal ceremony.

Kazakh athlete Mariya Dmitriyenko took out the 75 target event at the 10th Arab Shooting Championship in Kuwait earlier this month, the Huffington Post reports.

But instead of hearing her national anthem, "My Kazakhstan", at the medal ceremony she was forced to endure a song mocking her country.

The spoof song, which featured in Sasha Baron Cohen’s movie "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan", praises the country for having "the cleanest prostitutes in the region".

It lists Kazakhstan’s achievements as inventing "toffee and the trouser belt".

Video of the incident shows Dmitriyenko remaining calm during the ceremony but, according to Radio Free Europe, other Kazakh athletes were livid.

Her teammates immediately demanded organisers turn the song off, but were told it was the official music authorities had provided.

The Kazakh team eventually received an apology when the mistake was released and the medal ceremony was re-run.

LOL.

I want to know how this thing really happened.

Did someone just google search Kazakhstan national anthem?
Cause if you do their is a very high chance you will get the borat version.
 
I only clicked on this thread to see if my assumption of it being "Borat" related was correct, it was.:lol:
 
Yeah I read that story earlier and I was trying to feel bad for the poor girl. I couldn't help it, I had to bust up laughing. Can you imagine and American winning an international event and the organizers playing "America 🤬 Yeah!" from Team America instead of the Star-Spangled Banner? I'd die laughing. :lol:

Yeah same, feel alittle sorry for the girl, proud moment after winning an international event and then they ruin the presentation ceremony by playing that song.

On the other hand this is one of the funniest things that I have seen in months, how could they actually think it was the real thing. :facepalm:
 
Although its very disrespectful I couldnt help but find it hilarious but questioning is it a joke or something that actually happened.
 
Wow, I'd have stepped off stage and caused a ruckus if that happened to me.
 
But Kazakhstan is number one exporter of potassium - all other countries have inferior potassium.
 
Oh dear I am supprised no one got a punch in the face after they refused to turn it off.

Could have been worse could have played the soviet national anthem.
 
I LOL'd :lol:

I also liked the video that played right after with Kim Kardashian getting beaned by a bag of flour.
 
I've posted this before, but when Pedro Rodriguez won his first GP back in the 60s, the organisers didn't have the Mexican national anthem to hand, so they played the Mexican hat dance instead.

But they did invent the toffee and trouser belt.

And their prostitutes cleanest in the region(not counting Terkmenistans)

That's something.

Poor girl. Imagine working really hard to earn a medal, only for your country to be mocked while you are on the podium.

She looked happy because she probably didn't know English and didn't know what was going on.
