Belarusian National Anthem Error

During the medal ceremony for the women’s triple jump, the wrong national anthem was mistakenly played instead of Belarus’s to celebrate Viyaleta Skvartsova’s victory. In response, the Belarusian athlete left the podium before the end of the ceremony. The scene was filmed and published on the [NEXTA] YouTube channel, confirming the incident. The organizers later apologized and offered to hold a new ceremony.
