Georgian mother and son to participate in Rio

TBILISI: The Rio Olympics will be the eighth Games for Georgian shooter Nino Salukvadze, but it will be the first time when she will be joined by a very special team mate — her own son.It is believed to be the first such case in Olympic history when a mother and her son will compete side by side. “I am very happy and very proud that I will be competing alongside my son,” Salukvadze, 47, said. Salukvadze was 19 when she won a gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
