She has also become the first Indian woman to win two medals in the same edition of the Olympic Games. The shooter is only the second Indian - the first in the post-independence era - to win two medals in the same edition.

Bhaker was joined in this list by star Javelin Thrower Neeraj Chopra, who won silver at Paris to go with his gold at Tokyo.
