Paris Olympics 2024: Manu Bhaker has continued her stellar performance at the Paris Olympics 2024, now advancing to another event's final. This gives India renewed hope for another medal. She has already won two bronze medals at the Olympics 2024.

Bhaker has a fantastic opportunity to complete a medal hat-trick. All eyes are on her as she has secured a spot in the finals of the Women’s 25m Pistol event on August 2. She finished in second place with a total score of 590 points.

Isha Singh, on the other hand, disappointed as she placed 18th. The final match will take place tomorrow (August 3) at 1 PM Indian time.

Previously, she won medals in the 10-metre air pistol singles and mixed team events. Manu Bhaker now has a chance to make history.

Can Manu Bhaker Secure a Gold Medal This Time?

Manu Bhaker is one such name who has consistently performed well for India at the Paris Olympics 2024. So far she has won medals in every event she has participated in.

This time, she has another opportunity, but the biggest question is whether she can clinch the gold medal.

At the moment, Bhaker has two bronze medals, and India has yet to secure a gold medal in the games. As a result, there are high expectations for her to win gold.

Notably, Bhaker’s aim in the 25m pistol event is considered superior to her performance in the 10m pistol event.

She has already achieved several medals in this category, making it a promising opportunity for her to add gold to her collection.

Manu Bhaker: First Post-Independence Indian to Win Two Medals At Single Olympics

Manu Bhaker has set a record by becoming the first Indian to win two medals in a single Olympics since independence.

The British-Indian athlete Norman Pritchard won silver medals in the 200-meter hurdles and 200-meter sprints at the 1900 Olympics, but that achievement was before independence.
