FactCheck

BOOM found that the viral video is old and that the event actually occurred at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest, Hungary, in August 2023. We ran a keyword search and found that the original 4.14-minute video is of the Indian men's 4x400m relay team surpassing teams such as Great Britain and Japan. They secured second place, just behind the United States, with a time of 2 minutes 59.05 seconds, thereby qualifying for the final round of the World Championships. BOOM had previously debunked the same video in June 2024 when it was viral. Athletics events at the Summer Olympics in Paris are scheduled to begin from August 1 to August 11, 2024.
