New Delhi: Indian shooter Manu Bhaker made history at the Paris 2024 Olympics by clinching a bronze medal in the women’s 10m air pistol event. This marks India’s first medal at these Games, and Bhaker’s stellar performance has set a positive tone for the Indian contingent.

The Journey to Bronze

Competing in her second Olympics, Bhaker demonstrated remarkable composure and skill throughout the event. She secured her place in the final with a solid qualification score. In the intense final round, Bhaker maintained a steady performance, finishing with a score that secured her the bronze medal, just behind the gold and silver medalists from Poland and Mexico.

Overcoming Past Challenges

This victory is particularly significant for Bhaker, who faced setbacks at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, including an equipment malfunction that dashed her medal hopes. Her resilience and dedication have paid off, and she now stands as a beacon of inspiration for young athletes across India.

A Boost for Indian Shooting

Bhaker’s bronze medal is a significant milestone for Indian shooting. It highlights the country’s growing prowess in the sport and boosts the morale of the entire shooting contingent, which is the largest India has ever sent to an Olympics. The team includes other notable shooters like Elavenil Valarivan, Saurabh Chaudhary, and Aishwary Pratap Singh Tomar, all of whom are strong medal contenders.

Looking Ahead

With Bhaker’s win, the Indian shooting team is hopeful for more podium finishes in the coming days. The focus now shifts to other events where Indian shooters are participating, including mixed team events where Bhaker will again be in action.

Manu Bhaker’s bronze medal not only breaks the ice for India at Paris 2024 but also reinforces her status as one of India’s premier shooters. Her journey and success are a testament to her hard work and the support of her coaches and the shooting federation.
