Manu Bhaker Finishes Fourth in 25m Pistol Final

Manu Bhaker's Olympic journey concluded with a bittersweet fourth place in the women's 25m sports pistol event, narrowly missing out on a historic third individual medal. Despite her nerves during the final, she had earlier secured two bronze medals in the women's 10m air pistol and mixed team events. Bhaker scored 28 points in the final but lost in a tie-breaking shoot-off to Hungary's Veronika Major. Expressing disappointment, she acknowledged the support of her team and expressed determination to prepare for the next Olympics in Los Angeles. Her achievements in Paris mark a significant milestone for Indian shooting, making her one of the few athletes to earn multiple medals at a single Olympics. At just 22, Bhaker's accomplishments have set a new standard in India's Olympic history.
