TOKYO (Reuters) - 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.

Salukvadze became the first female athlete to compete in nine Olympics at the Tokyo Games where she came 31st in the 10-metre air pistol and 25th in the 25m pistol and decided to quit.
