TOKYO: Getting emotionally blackmailed by your children is a pet peeve of most parents but in Nino Salukvadze's case it could lead to a record-equalling 10th Olympic appearance by the Georgian shooter in Paris in three years' time.
"... the whole time we were talking, he kept saying, 'This is out of the question. There are three years left. You can go for your tenth Olympics, you have a chance. Why not take it? If you quit, I will quit too!' And I don’t want him to quit," she said. She also won the 10m bronze at the 2008 Beijing Games, and competed alongside her son Tsotne Machavariani, also a pistol shooter, at Rio five years ago.If she does make it to Paris, Salukvadze will equal Canadian equestrian jumper Ian Miller's record of 10 Olympic appearances.
"We will go together. I can go as a coach, but he doesn’t understand this. I will have to go home and convince him. So we'll see. It will all depend on who convinces who."
