22 year old Manu from Jhajjar missed silver by just one point. When she was eliminated with 221.7 points, she was just 0.1 points behind South Korea’s Yeji Kim (241.3 points) who won silver. What was going through your mind during the short…? In response to this question, Manu Bhaker said- ‘I have read a lot of Gita, that is why it was going through my mind that do what you can and I did the same. I left everything else to God. We cannot fight fate. You cannot control the result.’ In Gita, Lord Krishna has also said the same thing to Arjun that ‘do your duty, do not worry about the result.’

It took a long time to recover from Tokyo disappointment
Manu Bhaker said- ‘I was very disappointed after Tokyo. It took me a long time to recover from it. Today I am very happy that I could win bronze and maybe next time its color will be better. I am feeling very good. India was waiting for this medal for a long time. I can’t believe it.’ The pistol malfunctioned in the qualification of Tokyo Olympics-2021. After that she had to face criticism.

Main points of Manu…

Pressure training in front of home fans, worked today
Manu handled the pressure situation well during the final. After winning the medal in the Delhi World Cup, Manu had told Bhaskar that playing in front of home fans is pressure training. A lot of people encourage you, and even hoot you when you perform poorly. This pressure training comes in handy on big occasions. Manu had said that it is my dream to win a medal for India in the Olympics. Manu’s dream has come true today.

Manu’s dedication, hard work and passion has paid off: Bindra
Abhinav Bindra, who won the only gold medal in shooting in 2008, said on Manu’s medal – Her tireless dedication, hard work and passion really paid off.

Bindra wrote on Twitter, “Heartiest congratulations to Manu. Your relentless dedication, hard work and passion have really paid off. It’s incredible to see your skill and determination, you made India proud with every shot. This achievement is a testament to your perseverance and determination. Keep shining, Manu.”
