Indian shooting star Manu Bhaker is on the brink of achieving a historic hat trick of Olympic medals. She has advanced to the finals of the 25m sports pistol event, securing the second position at the Chateauroux shooting range on Friday.

“The shooting star of India has already become a sensation by becoming the first Indian athlete to clinch two bronze medals in a single Olympic session.” Bhaker is poised to potentially win a third medal today at 1:00 PM. With a remarkable total score of 590, she has maintained her position in the top three during both the ‘precision’ and ‘rapid’ rounds. She trails just behind Hungary’s Veronika Major, who equaled the Olympic record with a score of 592.

The 22-year-old Bhaker has sharpened her skills under the tutelage of former shooter turned coach Jaspal Rana. In this Olympic session, she has already secured a bronze in the 10m women’s air pistol qualification and another bronze in the 10m air pistol mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh. Her precision round scorecard includes an impressive 294 (97, 98, 99) and a perfect 100 in the rapid round, followed by two 98s, totaling 296.

Given her current form, Bhaker is a formidable contender for either gold or silver. Legendary cricketer Rahul Dravid has lauded her journey, describing it as “incredible.” The youngest Olympic medal winner draws inspiration from fellow Indian athletes PV Sindhu and Neeraj Chopra.

As Manu Bhaker steps into the finals, the nation’s hopes are pinned on her, expecting another stellar performance. Her determination and skill make her a shining example of sporting excellence, inspiring countless young athletes.

Manu Bhaker’s quest for a third Olympic medal is a testament to her dedication and prowess. Stay tuned for the final results and continue supporting our athletes as they make history.
