Nino Salukvadze: Aiming for more Olympic history in Paris

They're the Georgian mum and son combination who won a shooting medal at the Minsk 2019 European Games. Mother Nino Salukvadze has taken part in eight Olympics. No woman has ever participated in nine, and she's qualified for Tokyo 2020, where she could again line up alongside her son. Tsotne joined his mum at Rio 2016, and in Minsk too, but they'd love another crack at setting another Olympic record together.
