Anvar Ynusmetov, the head of the Kazakh rifle shooting team, said the Kuwaitis
had apologised for the mix up. He blamed local officials downloading the
wrong anthem from the internet for the error.
This is the second very public mix up over the Kazakh national anthem this
year. Earlier in the year at the opening ceremony of a ski championship in
the northern Kazakh region of Kostanay, a pop song by the Puerto-Rican
singer Ricky Martin briefly replaced the national anthem while local
officials stood to attention.
