"No Worth Of Olympic Sports": Manu Bhaker's Father On Shooter's Khel Ratna Snub, Sports Ministry Says, "Not Final"

Amid reports that double Olympic-medallist Manu Bhaker has been shockingly ignored for this year's Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award, a top sports ministry source has asserted that the names are yet to be finalised and she is likely to be there when the list is unveiled in a week's time. In August, Bhaker became independent India's first athlete to win two medals in a single edition of the Olympics with her bronze-winning show in the 10m air pistol individual and 10m air pistol mixed team events. Reports of her omission from the national honours evoked shock with her family insisting that application was duly submitted.

Manu Bhaker's Father Breaks Silence After Olympic Medallist Gets Overlooked For Prestigious Khel Ratna Award

The name of Manu Bhaker, the first Indian since independence to win two Olympic medals in a single edition of the Games, is missing from the list of sportspersons nominated for the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award this year. The Khel Ratna is the highest award conferred on sportspersons by the Government of India. This unexpected snub comes despite Bhaker scripting history at the 2024 Paris Olympics, becoming the first Indian female shooter to win an Olympic medal by clinching bronze in the women's 10m air pistol event. She followed this up with another bronze in the mixed 10m air pistol team event alongside Sarabjot Singh.

The double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker's name is conspicuously missing from the list of sportspersons nominated for the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award this year.

Manu Bhaker Surprise Absentee From Khel Ratna Nominations, Report Reveals Reason

The year 2024 has been a memorable year for Indian sports as many athletes showed their true caliber and brought accolades for the country. From India's magnificent win at the T20 World Cup to Manu Bhaker's historic double medal victory at the Paris Olympics, Indian sports reached new heights. Just like every year, the Indian government will be giving the prestigious Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award to celebrate and honour the achievements of these athletes and some nominees of the same have been revealed.

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.
