Shooter Manu Bhaker made history by winning a medal for India on the second day of the Paris Olympics. At just 21 years old, she became the first Indian female shooter to bring home a medal. This victory is especially significant as it's India's first shooting medal in 12 years, filling the nation with pride.
Highlights:
- India won a medal on the second day of the Olympics.
- Manu Bhaker won a medal in shooting.
- This is India's first shooting medal in nearly 12 years.
Manu's journey has been long and challenging, but her determination led her to success. On Saturday, she finished third in the qualifying round, raising hopes across the world. She didn’t disappoint, finishing third in the final on Sunday, securing the bronze medal. Manu faced tough competition from South Korean and Chinese shooters. She was in second place before the final shot but ended up with a bronze after scoring 10.3, just 0.1 points behind her Chinese competitor.
In the previous Tokyo Olympics, Manu had faced disappointment when her gun malfunctioned, preventing her from advancing in the competition. That experience taught her a lot, and over the last three years, she became mentally stronger and more skilled in her sport. Her hard work paid off with this medal, making millions of Indians proud.
Manu Bhaker will now compete in the mixed event with Sarabjit Singh in the 10-meter air pistol event. Another team, consisting of Rhythm Sangwan and Arjun Cheema Singh, will also compete. With this recent win, hopes are high for more medals from India in the coming days.
