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 Cohens 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 Kazakhstans 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.
