Alexis Olympia Ohanian, the daughter of tennis great Serena Williams, has caused excitement online after she was spotted wearing a Kenyan flag bracelet.
Olympia, who is in Paris for the Summer Olympics with her parents Alex Ohanian and Serena, strutted the red carpet, rubbing shoulders with the who’s who in the glittering sports world.
The 6-year-old has been collecting souvenirs, including badges and pins from various countries, such as Armenia, where her father has roots. However, after appearing with the famous Kenyan bracelet, many netizens took to X to express their excitement.
Her father took to the platform to explain where she got it from. "From some Kenyan players! She was so excited to meet them and ask for their pin (and they gave her an even better upgrade with that bracelet!)," he posted on X after being pestered on the platform.
This elicited reactions from many digital natives, including the Chief Executive Officer of the Kenya Tourism Board (KTB), June Chepkemei. "Kenya is indeed Magical," she posted on the platform.
As Kenya awaits its first medal in the Summer Olympics taking place in Paris, it is heartening to see her proudly wearing the Kenyan flag.
Here are some of the reactions online;
Happy to see @serenawilliams‘s baby sporting a Kenyan flag bracelet. We have one of the most beautiful flag colours in the world! I wonder if we could get some insights there - @footsoldierRow
It's a beautiful bracelet. I would highly recommend a vacation in Kenya and experiencing all the great things the country has to offer. Serena and Olympia will love it! - @reubenmuhindi
Beautiful...She'd love Magical Kenya. Bring her for a visit! ? -@farhiyaabass
Serena owes you a trip to Kenya. Ask her about her charity in Kenya where she set up a computer lab for high school - @Nakeel
