Tokyo Olympics: Table tennis player Manika Batra sports nail art featuring Indian flag

While Batra painted Olympic rings on her thumbnail, the middle and ring fingers featured the word ‘INDIA’ in blue. The other two fingers had the national flag painted on them.

“Mission #Tokyo2020 #OlympicGames,” she captioned the post on Twitter.

Olympic manicure has been in vogue for years now. According to a TIME article, it went mainstream during the games in London in 2012, when swimmers Missy Franklin and Rebecca Adlington were spotted wearing patriotic nail art. Soon nail bars multiplied and began popularising nail fashion.

However, its first exponent was Florence Griffith-Joyner. In the late 1980s, the track and field athlete flaunted multicoloured three-inch talons that caught everyone’s attention.
