Olympic shooter Manu Bhaker, who made a remarkable debut at the Paris Games, clinched two bronze medals: one in the 10m Air Pistol event and another in the 10m Mixed Team Air Pistol with Sarabjot Singh. Bhaker’s performance in the 25m Air Pistol event saw her narrowly miss out on a third medal, finishing fourth. Her achievements not only elevated India’s medal tally but also showcased her exceptional talent on the global stage.
Following her historic Olympic campaign, Bhaker is set to take a three-month break from competitive shooting, as announced by her coach Jaspal Rana. This hiatus aims to provide her with a period of rest and recovery, allowing her to recharge and return with renewed focus and determination.
Bhaker’s Candid Meeting with Suryakumar Yadav
During her break, Bhaker had the opportunity to meet with Indian T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav. The pair shared a light-hearted moment, with Bhaker taking a batting stance and Yadav striking a sharpshooter pose. The playful photo, posted by Bhaker on social media, highlighted the crossover between their respective sports and offered a glimpse into their camaraderie.
Bhaker’s meeting with Yadav, dubbed “Mr. 360” for his versatile batting skills, reflects her enthusiasm for exploring new techniques and building connections beyond her sport. Her caption, “Learning techniques of a new sport with the Mr. 360 of India!” emphasizes her openness to learning and growth, even while taking a break from shooting.
