Sania Mirza said she was excited to be a part of the Olympics.

Sania Mirza has said she is excited to compete at the upcoming Olympic Games in Brazil and hoped to put up good performances alongside other athletes.

“I am leaving for Canada [on Saturday] and then for Rio Olympics from there. I am looking forward. We are the biggest contingent that’s going. We are really excited and hopefully we can put up a good performance,” Sania told reporters on the sidelines of a fashion show event in Hyderabad.

Sania will team up with Prarthana Thombare in the women’s doubles and with Rohan Bopanna in mixed doubles in the Games.

After having inaugurated the fashion show, Mirza said, “Comfort for me is the most important. I always say this. I actually don’t know a lot about fashion to be very honest. I have great stylists. Actually, my sister also helps me...I have a good team around me.”

“For me the most important thing is to be comfortable and to look nice and presentable. I really don’t care about the new trends and that’s not my thing. It’s about just being cool and comfortable. My style statement is comfortable and easy,” Sania added.
