Paris Olympics: 'Grateful That I Could Win, Read A Lot Of Gita..,' Says Manu After Bagging A Historic Medal
Chateauroux Shooting Centre: Manu Bhaker on Sunday made history by becoming the first Indian woman shooter to win a medal in the Olympics, bagging a bronze in the 10m Air Pistol event in Paris 2024. Taking in the momentous occasion, Bhaker claimed the medal was long due as the country's shooters had fired blanks in the last two editions of the games at Rio (2016) and Tokyo (2020). The 22-year-old shooter said the country ‘deserves even more medals.’
“I feel great and it was a medal long due for India. I was just merely a mode to do it and India deserves even more medals, as many as possible. We are looking forward to as many events as possible this time. And the entire team has worked really hard. And personally, for me, the feeling is really surreal," said Manu soon after winning the medal.
"I feel that I did a good job, put in a lot of effort, and even till the last shot I was just fighting with all the energy that I had. This was bronze. But I'm really grateful that I could win, maybe a better result next time,” said Manu in the post-event interview. Manu is participating in her second Olympic Games and is scheduled to shoot in one more discipline.
