BEIJING, April 30 (Xinhua) -- A publicity video for this year's Rio Olympic Games has been shown at Times Squares in New York City.
The 52-second film, named "For Rio, For Real", was produced by China's Xinhua News Agency. It features a collection of spectacular Olympic moments captured by Xinhua photographers.
The video started airing on Wednesday and will be played 96 times a day in the leadup to the Rio Games, which will open on August 5.
