Nino Salukvadze took bronze for Georgia in the women’s 10m air pistol, with Russia’s Natalia Paderina collecting silver. After the medal ceremony the two posed together for photographers, their arms on each others’ shoulders, and Paderina gave Salukvadze a kiss on the cheek.
It’s always good to see humanity triumph under such dire circumstances.
