Tennis star Sania Mirza on Saturday posted a picture of herself alongside the Olympic rings -- with less than two months left for the biggest sports carnival in the world to begin. She used several emojis as caption for the image which shows her candidly posing against a wall, with the Olympic rings over her head. The Tokyo Olympics, originally scheduled to be held last year, had to be postponed for a year for the first time since World War II due to the coronavirus pandemic. After a one-year delay, the showpiece event, which has received huge objection from the locals, is expected to start on July 23 and will end on August 8. Several fans used red-heart emoji in the comments section, while Mahesh Bhupathi commented on the post using a flexed biceps emoji. Ahead of the multi-nation event, Sania, who won a silver in women's singles event at the 2010 Commonwealth Games, has started preparing for the event and is expected to return to action by participating in a series of competitions in the United Kingdom.
