"The two bronze medals I won at the Paris 2024 Olympics belong to India. Whenever I am invited for any event and asked to show these medals, I do it with pride. This is my way of sharing my beautiful journey," Manu Bhaker said on Twitter.



Manu Bhaker emerged as the standout performer for India, securing two bronze medals and etching her name in the record books. Her first medal came in the Women’s 10m Air Pistol event, which also marked India’s inaugural medal at the Paris Games. Demonstrating composure and precision, Bhaker navigated the qualifying rounds with consistent scores, earning her a spot in the finals. Facing stiff competition, she maintained her focus and delivered a performance that secured her a place on the podium.

Building on this momentum, Bhaker teamed up with Sarabjot Singh in the Mixed Team 10m Air Pistol event. The duo exhibited remarkable coordination and mutual understanding, essential qualities in mixed team events. Their combined efforts culminated in another bronze medal for India. This achievement made Bhaker the first Indian to win two medals in a single Olympic edition, a testament to her skill and dedication.
