Gabby Logan was at a loss to offer an explanation and commentator Steve Cram left doing a lot of filling as a medal ceremony at the European Championships descended into chaos in front of millions of BBC viewers on Saturday night.
The multi-sport event is taking place in Germany, hot on the heels of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham and one of the final evenings of competition should have ended on a high note for Team GB as the 4x400m men's relay team stepped up to received their gold medal, after victory on the track earlier on.
Their win was a close and hard fought one, making the gold all the more sweeter for the four members of the team. However, the medal ceremony did not go to plan at all. All three of the teams on the podium, were left looking around wondering what was going on as there was a distinct lack of the National Anthem at the moment it should have been blasting out of the speakers.
