By John Hutchinson. It seems the nightmare of Borat has come back to haunt Kazakhstan. Deserves a medal: Kazakh shooter Maria Dmitrienko managed to somehow keep a straight face throughout the shocking episode. Gold medallist: Dmitrienko, centre, stands with the other athletes and finally cracks a smile. It appears the organisers downloaded the incorrect version of the anthem. But the Kazakh athlete who was the recipient of the major error, Maria Dmitrienko, refused to be flustered, and continued to the end of the made-up song.
The rest of her shooting team, for who she has just won the gold medal for, were less than impressed however, and demanded the ceremony be re-run as well as a full apology made. Criticised: The film Borat was banned in Arab countries - and it's not hard to see why. Risky move: Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat in the village of Glod, introducing his sister, 'an award winning prostitute'.
Instead of 'Sky of golden sun' and 'steppe of golden seed,' the audience at the Kuwait medal ceremony were told that 'Kazakhstan [is the] greatest country in the world,' and that 'All other countries are run by little girls. As well as the lyrics played out stating that Kazakhstan has the best potassium, it also told how Kazakh prostitutes are the 'cleanest in region, except of course for too many scars.
Back in , the film, which was often shortened to Borat, became a huge talking point around the world due to its graphic nature and actions of its start, Borat Sagdiyev. Sky of golden sun, Steppe of golden seed, Legend of courage - Take a look at my country!
From the antiquity Our heroic glory emerged, They did not give up their pride My Kazakh people are strong! The way was opened to the posterity I have a vast land. Its unity is proper, I have an independent country. It welcomed the time Like an eternal friend, Our country is happy, Such is our country. Kazakhstan greatest country in the world. All other countries are run by little girls.
