Paris Olympics 2024: Double Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker received a grand welcome in India following her historic performance at the Paris Olympics 2024
Double medal winner Manu Bhaker says, "I am so happy to get so much love here..."
"It feels great the way I was welcomed at the airport and the hotel. I am very happy that the people of the country are supporting me like this. I have brought home 2 medals and a lot of inspiration and motivation to work harder in the future. At the time of the event, I was only thinking about my game and not about the medal. I could not eat Indian food for a long time but after coming here to Delhi, I had aloo paratha," she said.
The Paris Olympics has been a redemption for the 22-year-old shooter. During the 10m air pistol qualification round in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, her gun malfunctioned, which led to a loss of time.
She was left with a very short amount of time to carry out her quota of shots. She missed the top-eight finish required to qualify for the final round and finished in the 12th spot.
Her exceptional skills and determination have brought pride to the nation, inspiring countless young athletes to pursue excellence in sports
