During the Asian Para Games in Nagoya and other locations in Japan\u2019s Aichi Prefecture, the anthems of other countries were mistakenly played three times. Nagoya Mayor Ichiro Hirosawa, who serves as head of the organizing committee for the sports festival, reported on Wednesday about the incidents that occurred on Monday, The Japan Times<\/a> writes.<\/p>\n

Errors at para taekwondo medal ceremonies<\/p>\n

In the women\u2019s and men\u2019s para taekwondo competitions, gold medals were won by athletes from Mongolia and Taiwan, respectively. However, Iran\u2019s anthem was played during both award ceremonies. During the women\u2019s ceremony, it was stopped and replaced with Mongolia\u2019s anthem. The men\u2019s medal ceremony was held again on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The organizing committee explained the error as incorrect settings in the music playback software.<\/p>\n

Incident in sitting volleyball<\/p>\n

Another case occurred before the women\u2019s sitting volleyball match between China and Iran. Instead of the Chinese anthem, the South Korean anthem began playing in the arena. It was stopped midway through and China\u2019s anthem was played.<\/p>\n

Hirosawa apologized for the recurrence of similar problems. Last month, at the Asian Games, North Korea\u2019s anthem was mistakenly played instead of South Korea\u2019s anthem before the men\u2019s hockey match between South Korea and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n
