In the luminous city of Paris, where dreams often intertwine with reality, Manu Bhaker, a 22-year-old shooting prodigy scripted an extraordinary chapter in Indian sports history. The Paris 2024 Olympics witnessed Bhaker clinch two medals, making her the first Indian female athlete to achieve such a feat in a single Olympic edition.
Her journey to this pinnacle was marked by relentless dedication and an unyielding spirit.
In the women’s 10m air pistol event, Bhaker secured a bronze, a victory that broke a 12-year shooting medal drought for India. “I’m so grateful that I could break the chain and get this medal,” Bhaker wrote on ‘X’.
She then joined forces with Sarabjot Singh in the 10m air pistol mixed team event, where they displayed exceptional coordination and mental fortitude to secure another bronze, winning over Korea with a score of 16-10.
