Ahead of Rio Olympics, Twitter Chants #RuknaNahiHai and #iAmTeamIndia

Just days ahead of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, two videos trended on social media.

The first video, currently trending with the hashtag #RuknaNahiHai, celebrates the spirit of our Rio-bound athletes.

In all of two minutes, the video, posted on August 1, journeys through the hard work, determination, and perseverance put in by all the athletes to achieve their goal - winning a gold for India.

"Is baar maidan Rio ka hai. Mitti nai hai, chunauti kadi hai. Par hum bhi 100 ke upar hai. Aur sabki shart yahi hai, rukna nahi hai," says the video.

Twitter applauded.
