Israeli skeleton sledder Georgie Cohen on her hopes to appear in the Winter Olympics and honour the legacy of her grandfather.

The 32-year-old鈥檚 grandfather, Maurice Cohen, was a member of India鈥檚 water polo team which earned a place at the 1936 summer Olympic Games in Berlin. However, his dream of competing at the Games was dashed as Germany was under the rule of the Nazis at the time.

She told Sportshour鈥檚 Caroline Barker about the importance of righting the wrongs of her family鈥檚 past.
