India’s Manu Bhaker being consoled by her coach after finishing fourth in the 25m Pistol Women’s Final event during 2024 Summer Olympics, in Chateauroux, France.
After scripting history with an unprecedented two medals, India's 22-year-old shooter Manu Bhaker ended her Paris Olympic Games 2024 campaign in heartbreak. She narrowly missed a third consecutive medal, finishing fourth in the women's 25m pistol final on Saturday (August 3). No Indian athlete has bagged more than one medals at a single edition post Independence, and Bhaker came really close to a dream-like hat-trick of medals. Nevertheless, she heads back home having gone where no compatriot has gone before.
