If Manu Bhaker had won a medal in this event, she would have become India’s greatest athlete, because no Indian player has ever won 3 medals individually. 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. The special thing is that all three medals of India in this Olympics have come in shooting only.
