Another X user, Winnie Njuguna asked: "Where did she get this wristband? Looks like beadwork of the Kenyan flag.”
Ohanian replied to her tweet, noting that the seven-year-old was handed the bracelet by some Kenyan players at the opening ceremony. Olympia wanted a pin but instead, the Kenyans gave her a bracelet, an iconic symbol of the Kenyan colours.
