NEW DELHI: Indian shooter Manu Bhaker has made history at the Paris Olympics, winning two bronze medals and becoming the first Indian athlete from independent India to achieve this feat in a single edition of the Olympics. Her admiration for fellow Indian sports icon PV Sindhu emerged as a touching moment, garnering a warm response from the badminton star.
On July 28, Bhaker clinched a bronze medal in the women's 10m air pistol event, making her the first Indian woman shooter to win an Olympic medal. She continued her success by securing another bronze in the mixed team 10m air pistol event alongside Sarabjot Singh two days later.
