Competing in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, Korea, Nino set the world record and won a gold medal in the 25-meter pistol for the Soviet Union. She also won the silver medal in the 10-meter air pistol.

Georgia and Russia were at war when Salukvadze competed in the women's 10-metre air pistol competition of the 2008 Summer Olympics with Russian shooter Natalia Paderina. After Salukvadze won the bronze and Paderina the silver, they shared a podium, hugged and shook hands, which was seen a peaceful gesture.

At the 2016 Summer Olympics, Nino and her son Tsotne Machavariani were the first mother-son duo to compete in the same Olympics, representing Georgia in the pistol events.

At age 52, Nino competed in her ninth Olympic Games at the 2020 Summer Olympics, becoming the first female athlete in history to do so. And ahead of her record-breaking appearance, Salukvadze was given the honor of being one of Georgia's flag bearers for the 2020 Summer Olympics Opening Ceremony, for the second time.
