LONDON (Reuters) - British Olympic sailor Hannah Mills is in many ways similar to most elite athletes in Tokyo this summer in her goal of going for gold, but what sets her apart is the other mission she is simultaneously embarking upon.

Mills, who won silver in the women's 470 class sailing at London 2012 and gold in Rio de Janeiro four years later, is looking to become the most successful female Olympic sailor of all time by winning another gold medal in Japan.
