Bhagwad Gita To 400 Euro Fines: Manu Bhaker's Journey To Olympics Medal
An elite athlete gets to bite an Olympic medal after years of blood and sweat and it was no different for 22-year-old Manu Bhaker, who relied on the teachings of Bhagwat Gita to fulfil a long-cherished dream. The first Indian woman to win a shooting medal at the Summer Games, the Jhajjar-born was rated highly ever since she burst on the scene with the gold in the 10m air pistol at the 2018 Youth Olympics. Umpteen medals followed on the international stage but the ultimate prize eluded her. After the heartbreak of her first Olympics in Tokyo, where she ended up in tears, Bhaker finally realised her dream with a bronze in the 10m air pistol event here on Sunday.
