Manu hit the ‘X’ seven times, while Veronica and Camille did so 15 and 13 times respectively.

After winning the bronze medal in the individual 10 meter air pistol, Manu Bhaker also won the bronze medal in the mixed team category along with Sarabjot Singh. She became the first Indian to win two medals in the same Olympics.

Manu has made this record
Manu Bhaker has already become the first Indian to win two medals in the same Olympics after independence. She created history on 30 July by defeating South Korea in the 10 meter air pistol mixed team category at the Paris Olympics along with Sarabjot Singh. British-born Indian athlete Norman Pritchard won silver medals in 200 meter sprint and 200 meter hurdles in the 1900 Olympics, but that achievement was done before independence.
