"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.

She followed this up with another bronze in the mixed 10m air pistol team event alongside Sarabjot Singh, marking the first time any Indian has won two medals in a single Olympics since India's independence.
Atishi Responds As Chess Player Tania Sachdev Rues Lack Of Recognition From Delhi Government
Olympiad gold-winning Indian chess player Tania Sachdev on Monday lamented the "lack of recognition" from the government of Delhi, prompting chief minister Atishi to reach out to her for "thoughts and suggestions" on the matter. The 38-year-old Arjuna Awardee, who is based in the national capital, said the Delhi government is yet to acknowledge her achievements. "Having played for India since 2008, it's disheartening to see a lack of recognition from the Delhi government for achievements in chess. States that support and celebrate their champions, directly inspire excellence and motivate talent. Sadly, Delhi has yet to take this step," she posted on her 'X' account.
