It's like the Olympics - they have to prepare every single competiting
country's national anthem just in case an obscure country wins a gold
medal and it has to be played immediately - which happens more often
than you'd think.


Not unknown to play the wrong anthem at such times.

AFAIAA there was no such musical muddle up during the London Olympics
and Paralympics - though they did manage to show the wrong Korean flag
before a footie match at Hampden Park:

A spoof Kazakh anthem from the Borat film was played at a sporting event
in Kuwait. The winner (understandably) appears to have no idea what is
being played, but can recognise the word Kazakhstan:
