Organizers apparently downloaded the anthem from the Internet by mistake. The song was filled with references to potassium (Kazakhstan's top export), dirty swimming pools and insults of other countries and religions.

Well, that's a mistake one wouldn't make twice.

I'm sure it wasn't funny to the Kazakh team, but it provided me with a much-needed laugh after a long week.

That was pretty funny. Kudos to the woman for handling it as she did.

Wow...

"A gold-medal winning athlete from Kazakhstan was forced to stand through a national anthem that insulted other countries and boasted of her nation's "clean prostitutes" when organizers at a shooting competition accidentally played a fake anthem from the comedy film "Borat."

Gold medalist Maria Dmitrienko never lets on that there's a problem and graciously poses for photos with the other medalists following the ceremony."
