Manu Bhaker Paris Olympics 2024 Medal Hat trick: If Manu Bhaker is there then even a great hat-trick is possible… won two medals in Olympics, has a ‘golden’ chance in the third

Manu Bhaker Paris Olympics 2024 medal hat-trick: Manu Bhaker has emerged as a ‘Dhaakad’ athlete in the Paris Olympics. She has got her name recorded in the pages of history by winning two medals one after the other. Now Manu has a chance to win a gold medal in another event.

Manu Bhaker became the first Indian to win two medals in the same Olympics after independence, creating history on 30 July with Sarabjot Singh by defeating South Korea in the 10m air pistol mixed team category at the Paris Olympics. British-born Indian athlete Norman Pritchard won silver medals in the 200m sprint and 200m hurdles at the 1900 Olympics, but that achievement was before independence.
