Manu Bhaker's Olympic Success Becomes Defining Moment For Indian Shooting In 2024

If ever there was proof needed that Manu Bhaker had prodigious talent, she provided it at the Paris Olympics with two bronze medals, scripting history in a year when shooting was as much about success as it was about missing medals by wafer-thin margins. Shooting is about individual glory and Manu took it to a different level by first finishing on the podium in 10m air pistol and then combining with an equally happy-go-lucky marksman Sarabjot Singh to clinch a second bronze in 10m mixed team to become India's first woman athlete with two medals in the quadrennial showpiece.

From Struggling To Stand Still To Paralympic Medal: Rubina Francis' Story

As a child, Rubina Francis dreamed of emulating her idol, Olympic medallist shooter Gagan Narang but winning a medal at the biggest stage was an audacious target considering that even standing steady on her feet was a huge challenge at that time. The 25-year-old from Jabalpur was born with talipes -- commonly known as club foot -- and that prevented her from staying steady while shooting at the target. To add to her woes, she wasn't able to shoot perfectly while sitting. "We tried making her sit and shoot but that would not be perfect," her coach JP Nautiyal told PTI in an exclusive chat.
