Manu Bhaker made history. This time she brought the first medal for the country in the Olympics. She won bronze that day. She won bronze again on Tuesday. This time in a mixed 10-meter air pistol. India defeated South Korea. The result of the game is 16-10. Sarabjot Singh was Manu Bhaker’s partner in mixed 10 m air pistol. India’s dominance was seen from the very beginning of the bronze match. Never thought this match would slip out of Manu and Sarabjot’s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By winning the medal on this day, she proved what can be done if you have the willpower. The one who gave a total disappointment at the Tokyo Games four years ago has now become a beacon of light. Manu had previously experienced a 12-year drought; this time she filled more pockets. In 2012, Gagan Narang won bronze in the pistol event and is now at the Games as the team’s coach. Manu’s form also made Gagan proud. Earlier, there was no precedent for winning two medals in the same Olympics. Manu, who is coach Yashpal Rana’s gem, made history by winning it. Earlier, wrestling’s Sushil Kumar and badminton’s PV Sindhu set a precedent by winning medals in two different Olympics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The country’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, is happy about winning Manu Padak. He wrote in a message, \u201cManu has created history by winning two medals in the same Olympics. Today the whole country is proud of Manu and Sarabjot. They got the fruits of their labor. Both shooters are talented; I look forward to meeting them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
