Manu Bhaker Qualifies for 10m Pistol Final in Paris

At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Indian shooter Manu Bhaker made history by becoming the first Indian female shooter to qualify for the Women's 10m Air Pistol final in 20 years, finishing third in the qualifying round with a score of 580. Bhaker's qualification follows a disappointing outing in Tokyo, where she faced significant pressure but has since demonstrated a resurgence in form. On the same day, other Indian shooters faced setbacks as they failed to advance in their respective events, including two mixed teams that did not qualify for the medal matches. The Indian shooting contingent at this Olympics is the largest ever, with 21 athletes competing across 15 events. Bhaker's final is set for Sunday, alongside other Indian athletes who will be competing in various disciplines. All eyes are on Bhaker as she aims for an Olympic medal to add to her accomplishments.
