Manu Bhaker, the Indian shooting sensation, has created history at the Paris Olympics. On Tuesday, she became the first Indian woman to win multiple medals at a single Olympic Games. She achieved this feat by winning bronze in the 10m pistol mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh, defeating South Korea with a score of 16-10. This victory added to her earlier bronze medal in the women’s 10m air pistol event, which marked India’s first medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
With this achievement, Manu Bhaker joined an elite club, becoming the second Indian woman after P.V. Sindhu to win two Olympic medals. Sindhu previously made history in Tokyo by becoming the first Indian woman to achieve this milestone, winning a silver medal and then securing bronze by defeating He Bingjiao of China in the women’s singles badminton competition. Sindhu’s journey to Olympic glory began in Rio, where she clinched a silver medal after a close final against Carolina Marin.
Manu Bhaker’s remarkable performance at the Paris Olympics highlights India’s growing prowess in shooting and her own dedication to the sport. This achievement is a testament to her hard work and talent, inspiring countless young athletes across the nation.
