Indian shooter, Manu Bhaker opened India’s account at the 2024 Paris Olympics by winning the bronze medal in women's 10m air pistol event. The 22-year-old missed the silver medal by just 0.1 point against South Korea’s Kim Ye-ji.  However, her journey isn’t over yet as she will be seen in the 10m air pistol mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh on July 29th.

Manu Bhaker Records and Achievements

After a disappointing campaign in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Manu Bhaker finally won her first Olympics medal in 2024, claiming the bronze in women’s 10m air pistol. Apart from the Olympics medal, she has done a remarkable job in her short shooting career for India so far. 

Bhaker made her International Sport Shooting Federation (ISSF) World Cup in Guadalajara, 2018. She ended up winning the gold medal in 10m air pistol event and 10m air pistol mixed team event in that edition.  With this, she also became the youngest Indian shooter to win a gold medal at ISSF World Cup, aged 16 years. After that, she teamed up with Om Prakash Mitherval to win her second gold at ISSF World Cup. 

In the same year, Manu Bhaker won the gold medal in 10m air pistol at the Commonwealth Games in 2018. She ended the year by creating history at the Youth Olympics Games in Argentina, becoming the first female athlete and first Indian shooter to win a gold at Youth Olympic Games.

She ended up winning the gold medal in individual and mixed team event in the 10m air pistol event both in Asian Airgun Championships and Asian Shooting Championships in 2019, respectively.
