The Sakana women's sokatira team left the podium after placing the Spanish hymn, in the newly proclaimed world champion of Japan. It was Akitan and they went up to the podium with the ikurrina in their hand. Tensions with the organizers led to the expulsion of all teams from Euskal Herria, who suffered threats and injuries.
