This is Manu Bhaker’s second Olympics
This is only Manu Bhaker’s second Olympics. She made her debut in the last Tokyo Olympics 2020, but her pistol malfunctioned during the 10m air pistol qualification round. Due to this, she could not win a medal last time. But this time Manu showed her full strength and dominated fate and aimed at the medal. Apart from this, she also missed out on winning medals in the mixed team 10m pistol and 25m pistol events.
22-year-old Manu Bhaker is competing in the women’s 10m air pistol, 10m air pistol mixed team and women’s 25m pistol events at the Paris Olympics 2024 shooting competition. She is the only athlete from the 21-member Indian shooting team to participate in multiple individual events. Manu secured a Paris 2024 Olympics quota for India after finishing fifth in the women’s 25m pistol event at the 2023 Asian Shooting Championship.

After an eye injury, he left boxing and started shooting
Born in Jhajjar, Haryana, Manu Bhaker participated in tennis, skating and boxing competitions during her school days. Apart from this, she also participated in a martial art called ‘Than Ta’, which won medals at the national level. Manu got injured in the eye during boxing, after which her journey in boxing ended. But Manu had a different passion for sports, due to which she managed to become an excellent shooter. Manu decided to make a career in shooting at the age of 14, at that time Rio Olympics 2016 had just ended. Within a week of this, she asked her father to bring a shooting pistol. Her always supportive father Ram Kishan Bhaker bought her a gun and that was a decision that one day made Manu Bhaker an Olympian.
