Mexico’s synchronised swimmers made waves at the Rio Olympics with their underwater dance routine to the Bollywood song, “Aila Re Aila”.
Wearing orange and fluorescent green swimsuits, Karem Achach and Nuria Diosdado dived into the Olympic pool as the Akshay Kumar song from his 2010 film “Khatta Meetha” played out.
The duet’s choreography included beautifully synchronised leg movements and hand gestures.
