India’s badminton ace shares her thoughts on her Rio target and gives her take on fashion and comfort.

Tennis ace Sania Mirza admits she is excited to compete at the upcoming Olympic Games in Brazil and hopes to put up good performance along with other athletes.

I am leaving for Canada tomorrow 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 will team up with Prarthana Thombare in the women’s doubles and with Rohan Bopanna in mixed doubles in the Games. She also made mention of how important comfort is to her

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.

The 29-year-old added:

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
