Manu Bhaker eyes historic third medal at Paris Olympics — Can the pistol pro make the perfect shot?
Manu Bhaker is on the brink of securing a historic third successive medal at the ongoing Paris Olympics. Bhaker has positioned herself as a top contender in the 25m sports pistol competition after finishing second in the qualifications with an impressive score of 590.
Given her status as the reigning world champion in the 25m category, a third-medal finish appears highly likely.
The athlete from Jhajjar, Haryana, has already claimed bronze medals in both the 10m air pistol and the 10m air pistol mixed team events, partnering with Sarabjot Singh.
Achieving this would make Bhaker the first Indian athlete ever to earn three medals at a single Olympics.
Manu, the second youngest Indian athlete to win an Olympic medal, showcased a sterling performance following a setback at the Tokyo Games due to a pistol malfunction. Her success came after intense determination sparked by previous heartbreak.
