Has any athlete ever accidentally competed in the wrong event?

Okay, so this is super random, but I was wondering—has there ever been an instance where an athlete accidentally lined up for the wrong race, match, or event? Like, imagine a sprinter accidentally entering a long-distance race or a wrestler showing up for judo. I feel like with all the chaos in big competitions, something like this must have happened at least once, right?
