Manu Bhaker Wins Second Olympic Medal

Indian shooters Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh made history at the Paris Olympics 2024 by winning the bronze medal in the 10m air pistol mixed team event, defeating South Korea's Lee Wonho and Oh Ye Jin 16-10. This victory marks India's second medal at these games and makes Bhaker the first Indian athlete from the post-independence era to win two medals in a single Olympic edition, having previously secured a bronze in the women's individual 10m air pistol event. Prominent figures, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and sports icons like PV Sindhu, have lauded their achievements. Bhaker's journey is notable, having overcome setbacks such as her pistol malfunction at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. She is now aiming for a third medal in the upcoming 25m pistol event.
