A post is being shared on social media which contains a training clip of a woman. The post claims it to be the training video of the Indian Army. Let’s fact-check the claim in this article.
Claim: Video showing the training of an Indian Armed personnel.
Fact: The person training in this video is a Brazillian athlete named Savina Gabriella. She has posted this video on her Instagram. Hence the claim made in the post is FALSE.
We performed a reverse image search on Yandex with screenshots from the video and found an Instagram post which contains the same video. A user named Kiran Dembla posted this video, and the post’s description reads ‘Wow wow wow 🔥 @savinagabriella’.
We looked at the tagged account to find the exact video from the viral post. The Instagram account belongs to a Brazillian athlete named Savina Gabriella. She has posted her training video with a caption in Portuguese that translates to ‘Just for you to feel the vibe and energy of this place 🍃🌴 I feel at home.’
For further confirmation, we searched on the internet about her and found a few videos on YouTube. One of those videos is uploaded to a verified YouTube channel named Amazing Talents – We Love Sports. In the video titled ‘She’s on fire on the bar’, the description states ‘Savina Gabriella is a rhythmic and artistic gymnast and her talent is beyond words. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy this incredibly talented athlete.’ With this, we can conclude that a training clip of a Brazillian rhythmic and artistic gymnast Savina Gabriella is falsely claimed as that of Indian Army’s.
To summarise, a training video of a Brazilian athlete is falsely attributed to the Indian Army.
