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.
