Manu Bhaker makes history by winning India’s first medal at the Paris Olympics 2024!
The Paris Olympics 2024 has kicked off in splendid fashion for India with the historic maiden medal secured by none other than the brilliant Manu Bhaker. The young sharpshooter from Jhajjar, Haryana, clinched a bronze medal in the women's 10m air pistol event, ending a 13-year medal drought in Olympic shooting for India. Not only is this a remarkable achievement for Bhaker herself, but it also marks a significant milestone for Indian sports as she becomes the first-ever Indian woman shooter to achieve this feat at the Olympics.
Manu’s journey to this point has been anything but smooth. It comes as a sweet redemption after the disappointment she faced in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Well known for her steely determination and focus, Bhaker delivered a stunning performance at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre, scoring an impressive 221.7, that secured her a spot on the Olympic podium. Her win is not just a personal victory but a spark of hope, lighting up India's medal tally and ambitions to surpass the previous record of seven medals at the last Olympics.
The bronze medal has joined Bhaker's collection of awards and has catapulted her into the spotlight, gaining admiration not just from her family and friends, but from sports enthusiasts across the nation. Celebrations erupted back home in Haryana where her family rejoiced in her success, marking a joyful moment for Bhaker and her continued journey in shooting sports. As she humbly acknowledged, while she aims for gold, this bronze holds a special place as it signifies the hard work and determination she put into not just winning, but also overcoming the hurdles that faced her after Tokyo.
As the Paris 2024 Olympics unfold, this success heralds a new era for Indian shooters, promising more thrilling competitions and hopefully more medals to come. With Bhaker paving the way, young athletes in India are sure to be inspired to chase their dreams more fiercely. Did you know? Before Bhaker’s win, India’s last Olympic shooting medal was won in 2008 by Abhinav Bindra in the 10m air rifle event. And here’s another fun fact – Manu is only 22 years old and shows no signs of slowing down, aiming for even greater heights in the ensuing events ahead!
