What anthem do they play for the Russians who are participating as
"non-affiliated athletes" do they just raise a white flag and stand in silence or do they play the Russian anthem?

In the past they played the Olympic anthem. Since this is the IAAF, I don't know.
Official IAAF song. Crowd stood for it. Bizarre.

I think they play the song "make me a sandwhich" by Jordan Hasay. It goes something like:
My coach isn't here so make me a sandwich
Please make it big and please make it huge
I would like some ice cream to go with that sandwich
He'll be gone for a while and I'd also like juice.
It has a 7/4 time signature and is usually played with horn section accompaniment
I just used them as an example because Russia is the only country banned from this years WC but does have a few athletes participating as NAA.
A cheesy anthem...and the face of the Russian gold medalist said it all. ðŸ˜
