After twin success at Paris Olympics, Manu Bhaker says ‘nothing’ has changed in her life | More sports News
NEW DELHI: Ace Indian shooter Manu Bhaker on Friday said that her life remains unchanged after winning two bronze medals at the Paris Olympics.
Bhaker made history in Paris, becoming as the first Indian to clinch two medals at a single Olympics.
In a social meda post, Bhaker, 22, said ‘nothing’ has changed in her life after the two medals at this year’s marquee event.
Bhaker opened up about her shooting journey, mentioning that she never imagined achieving such heights when she began shooting at the age of 14.
After claiming a bronze in 10m individual Air Pistol event, Bhaker and her partner Sarabjot Singh secured a bronze in the 10 m Air Pistol Mixed team event.
The duo defeated South Korea’s Lee Wonho and Oh Ye Jin 16-10 in the bronze medal play-off match. Both shooters displayed consistent performance with regular 10s in the series.
Bhaker opened India’s medal tally at the Olympics by securing third place in the women’s individual 10m air pistol event. The remarkable achievement made her the first woman shooter from India to win an Olympic medal.
Despite her impressive performance, Bhaker narrowly missed out on a historic treble. She finished fourth in the women’s 25m pistol shooting event, just shy of becoming the first Indian to win three medals at a single Olympics.
