Paris Olympics 2024: Manu Bhaker was not lying when she said that 25M Air Pistol is her favorite event. With fourteen 10s in a row during Rapid Stage, she made it clear that she is a force to be reckoned with.
It was a perfect qualifying round as Manu finished in second with 590 points, just two behind the top spot. With a near-perfect performance, Manu has created history and became the first Indian Olympian to reach three finals.
With two medals already in her hand, every Indian is hoping and praying for the third medal to grace her neck. And hopefully, this time that color changes and Manu wins that sacred Gold medal.
Another Final!
The qualification round consisted of two rounds, a precision round and a rapid round. Both events consisted of 60 shots and the Top 8 shooters after both rounds would have qualified for the finals.
Manu was on top of her from the start. Manu finished in third spot in the Precision round with 294 points. She made her mark from the start and took a healthy lead that put her in a comfortable position.
But Manu’s game was improved 10 times in the Rapid Round as she climbed one spot after fourteen consecutive 10-pointers. If she can replicate this performance in the finals, she is looking at another medal around her neck.
Paris Olympics 2024: Gold Medal Match
Manu will charge for the Gold Medal on August 3rd at 1:00 PM. She has the chance to script history and become the first Indian to win three medals in the same Olympics. But no matter what goes down in the finals, Manu Bhaker is the face of India in the Paris Olympics 2024.
