"I bless her. She has done a great job. We will all welcome her once she is here. I will prepare special food for her," she expressed, highlighting the family's excitement and the special celebration that awaits Manu Bhaker upon her return.

A dramatic journey for Manu Bhaker!

Manu Bhaker's journey to the Olympic podium has been one of resilience and determination. Her near-perfect performance in the qualification rounds set high expectations, and she delivered under pressure, standing alongside South Korea’s Jin Ye Ho and Yeji Kim, who won the gold and silver respectively.

This triumph is particularly sweet for Manu, considering the heartbreak she endured during the Tokyo Olympics when a pistol malfunction disrupted her qualification chances. Despite that setback, she emerged as the first Indian woman in over a decade to win a medal in shooting at the Olympics.

Notably, Manu will contest in two more events including the 10M Air Pistol Mixed team event and the 25 M Air Pistol Women Individual event. India hopes Manu to bag more medals of different colours from remaining in her Paris Olympics campaign.
