Manu Bhaker has made history at the Paris Olympics, becoming the first Indian woman to win multiple medals in a single Olympic Games. On Tuesday, she clinched bronze in the 10m pistol mixed team event with partner Sarabjot Singh, defeating South Korea 16-10. This achievement follows her earlier bronze in the women’s 10m air pistol event, which opened India’s medal tally at the 2024 Games. Bhaker’s double-medal feat places her alongside badminton star P.V. Sindhu as the only Indian women to win two Olympic medals. Sindhu previously secured a bronze in Tokyo 2021 and a silver in Rio 2016. Bhaker’s Olympic journey continues as she prepares for the women’s 25m pistol event, scheduled to start on Friday, offering another opportunity to add to her impressive medal haul. Her historic performance underscores India’s growing prowess in Olympic shooting events and sets a new benchmark for future athletes.
