HIS COUSIN'S LEGACY
“Every generation of our family had at least one luge sportsman, and now my father and I are continuing this tradition and following Nodar’s footsteps. Thinking about him is painful but gives me strength as well.” (ctpost.com, 26 Jan 2022)

FIRST FAMILY OF LUGE
Saba's great grandfather Aleko Kumaritashvili oversaw the construction of the Republic of Georgia's first luge training track in the early 1970s, and then a more complete track a few years later. Aleko then served as the republic's head coach. His father runs the national luge federation, a job his relatives have held for decades. (ctpost.com, 26 Jan 2022)
