Rio Olympics: Mexican swimmers perform on the quirkiest Bollywood song

An odd choice given the large pool... of hit Bollywood numbers

Rio Olympics 2016 kicked off on August 15^th with a beautiful French anthem titled, La Borinqueña. But it looks like the event organisers are trying to incorporate music from every corner of the world.

Although Salman Khan is the Rio Goodwill Ambassador, two Mexican swimmers at the event chose to perform a snychronised routine on Akshay Kumar's song Aila Re Aila.

The song is for sure the quirkiest choice at Rio but the the swimmers' performance on the beat is a perfect visual delight.

The talented duo Karem Achach and Nuria Diosdado, who seamlessly worked their magic with their underwater swirls on the Bollywood number, came second and also managed to qualify for the finals.
