No fue la primera vez ni probablemente será la última. Las confusiones con el himno español en las ceremonias de premiación se han convertido en deja vú. Kirian Pérez, campeón del mundo máster de pentatlón en la categoría M45, ha sido el último que ha vivido ese bochorno en lo alto del podio.
Los organizadores del Mundial Máster de atletismo en pista cubierta, que se celebró en Gainesville (Estados Unidos), tiraron del himno con letra de José María Pemán, que el poeta gaditano escribió en 1928 por encargo de Miguel Primo de Rivera y que se empleó durante el franquismo, aunque nunca fue oficial. La cara de Pérez es un poema y no puede por menos que esbozar una sonrisa ante semejante metedura de pata. Los responsables de la Federación Española de Atletismo presentes en el evento oficializaron una queja formal por lo sucedido.
Dos boxeadores españoles ya pasaron por este trance
El poeta gaditano lo escribió por encargo de Miguel Primo de Rivera y se empleó durante el franquismo
Hace tres años, este mismo himno de Pemán sonó cuando el boxeador Martín Molina subió a recoger el oro como campeón de Europa del peso mosca (48-51 kg) en Ereván (Armenia). En 2021, Rafa Lozano, hijo, vivió la misma situación cuando se ha proclamado campeón de Europa joven en -48kg en Budva, Montenegro. Sonó el himno de Pemán.
El heredero del dos veces medallista olímpico ganó por primera vez para España el título júnior y vivió un momento extraño en el cajón del podio.
Lydia Valentín, Carolina Marín, el equipo de la Copa Davis, Ander Mirambell, Jorge Lorenzo o Alberto Contador también fueron protagonistas de incidentes similares cuando les tocó oír el himno de España.
Contador y el himno de Pemán en el Giro 2011
Los italianos metieron la pata en la ceremonia final del Giro de Italia 2011. Alberto Contador, escoltado por Michele Scarponi y Vicenzo Nibali lucía con el trofeo de campeón mientras sonaba la Marcha Real en su honor. Pero no era el himno actual de España el que se oía, sino la versión con letra que encargó el dictador Primo de Rivera a Jose María Pemán en 1928. Sólo un poco antes de que estallara la Guerra Civil.
Himno de Riego en la Copa Davis de 2003
Uno de los momentos más sonado con respecto a la confusión con el himno español se produjo en una final de Copa Davis en Australia. En la presentación de los equipos sonó el himno de la Segunda República interpretado por un trompetista. Juan Antonio Gómez Angulo, secretario de estado para el Deporte, reaccionó rápidamente y con gran indignación, al considerar el hecho una provocación y una grave ofensa.
Jorge Lorenzo y el himno de Italia en Laguna Seca en 2010
El Gran Premio de Estados Unidos de MotoGP disputado en Laguna Seca nos dejó una imagen para el recuerdo: la del himno italiano sonando en lugar del español tras la victoria de Jorge Lorenzo en el trazado californiano. Aunque los acordes de ‘Il Canto degli Italiani’ sólo sonaron unos pocos segundos, la cara de Lorenzo en lo alto del podio fue todo un poema. Afortunadamente el error duró poco tiempo…
Hilo musical para Lydia en el Mundial de halterofilia
Lydia Valentín se preparó para escuchar el himno español en el podio del Campeonato del Mundo de 2017. Y de repente escuchó la extraña melodía que acompañaba el izado de la bandera española en Anaheim (California) se quedó perpleja. “¡Ese no es!”, gritaban los integrantes del equipo español a los responsables de la organización, que habían pinchado por error el hilo musical. Tras unos segundos de confusión, el himno finalmente sonó.
Los responsables del Mundial hicieron sonar el hilo musical del torneo en lugar del himno español durante el izado de bandera. Rectificaron ante las protestas del equipo y la afición españoles.
Carolina Marín y el himno de Pemán en el Mundial de badminton 2015
Tras proclamarse bicampeona del mundo en Yakarta (Indonesia), Carolina Marín tuvo que escuchar el himno de España con letra en un error por el que la Federación Mundial de Bádminton se disculpó inmediatamente. La cara de la onubense no ocultaba la sorpresa ante lo que sonaba en la megafonía.
Contador y el himno de Dinamarca en el Tour 2009
Cuando todo estaba preparado para el gran momento de Alberto Contador en este Tour de Francia un error garrafal de la organización del Tour privó al madrileño de su gran momento en la ronda gala. Y es que parece algo muy difícil de digerir que, después de tres años seguidos sonando el himno español (Pereiro, Contador y Sastre), la organización del Tour tenga el mayúsculo error de hacer sonar las notas del himno de Dinamarca.
Mirambell, otro ‘republicano’ en el podio
Tras el segundo triunfo de Mirambell en la Copa de América de Calgary, se reprodujo por error el Himno de Riego. El piloto español mantuvo la compostura pese al error. Posteriormente la organización rectificó e hizo sonar la Marcha Real.
Himno republicano para Mirambell tras ganar en Canadá.
Himno portugués para la ÑBA en 2014
Sucedió en Brasil durante un encuentro de la selección española de baloncesto (España B) ante la canarinha. Los organizadores pusieron el himno de Portugal en lugar del español para presentar al equipo dirigido por Juan Antonio Orenga. Los jugadores se lo tomaron con humor y no faltaron las bromas al escuchar el himno erróneo.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride. To describe this as a David vs. Goliath-type game would be a misnomer, though, Gotham have been inconsistent, but they won the Championship just two years ago and boast an MVP nominee in Esther Gonzalez.While Gonzalez and new Gotham recruict Jaedyn Shaw headline Juan Carlos Amoros' team, the attention will also […]
Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
