Georgian luger Saba Kumaritashvili's participation at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing will represent the perfect tribute to his late cousin Nodar.
Kumaritashvili, stands at No 47 in the world rankings since making his debut at last year’s Nations Cup in Sigulda, and is his country's sole entrant into the event in China. He is also one of just nine Georgian athletes to be competing in the Games.
Poignantly, the 21-year-old is the same age his cousin was when he was fatally injured in a practice session 12 years ago, on the eve of his own Olympic debut in Vancouver.
