Age is not just a number but also a driving force in Abdullah Alrashidi’s quest for doing things as rare as winning an Olympic medal at 58 and activities as striking as shooting in the sport’s showpiece wearing an Arsenal FC shirt.

On Monday, the seven-time Olympian claimed the bronze medal in the men’s skeet event and soon after pulling off what not many have in the history of Olympics, promised to go for gold at 2024 Paris, by which time he will have become a sexagenarian.
