Kazakhstan sharpshooter Mariya Dmitrienko stood with her hand on her heart and a gold medal around her neck expecting to hear her country’s national anthem at an international shooting championship in Kuwait Friday.
Instead, the sound system blared the insulting parody anthem from the movie “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.”
“Kazakhstan’s prostitutes cleanest in the region, except of course Turkmenistan’s,” the lyrics said.
Dmitrienko appeared uncomfortable, but she managed to display a thin smile and remain steady during the ceremony to honor her gold medal win at the Amir of Kuwait International Shooting Grand Prix.
