Manu Bhaker created history in Paris, becoming the first woman hailing from the Indian subcontinent to win an Olympic medal in shooting. The 22-year-old youngster bagged the bronze medal in the Women’s 10m Air Pistol, making a stunning comeback after a disappointing campaign at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
The then 19-year-old couldn’t make it into the final round in any of the shooting events, however, she managed to punch back by finishing third in both qualifying and final rounds in Paris.
