CHATEAUROUX: Three years in the past at Tokyo Olympics, Manu Bhaker, then 19, had tears in her eyes. Burdened with nice expectations, she did not make the finals. She was slowed down by the hype of being the prodigy who would rule the world of capturing. Defeat left her damaged. However she healed quick and has returned to indicate why she can be on high for some time.
On Sunday, Manu, now 22, shot like a professional, like she has been for months now.No nerves, no excuses, no meltdown. She was within the zone, making historical past by turning into the primary Indian girl shooter to win an Olympic medal – a bronze in 10m air pistol. The gold and silver went to South Korea.
“It was very intense. The stress was immense, however Manu was very courageous. Actually happy with her,” her private coach Jaspal Rana mentioned.
It wasn’t the smoothest journey for Manu main as much as Paris: she had not gained an Olympic quota on this self-discipline. Nevertheless, she carried out brilliantly within the trials and was picked for 10m air pistol, aside from the 25m air pistol occasion.
