Manu Bhaker at Paris Olympics 2024: Having already scripted history at the Paris Olympics 2024, India's star shooter Manu Bhaker has set an aim to win multiple Olympic medals for the country heading forward in her career.

Manu etched her name in history books by becoming the first Indian athlete in the post-independence era to win two medals in a single edition of the Olympic Games.

Bhaker won a bronze each in the women’s 10m air pistol and 10m air pistol mixed team event — where she had paired with Sarabjot Singh.

She also was close to winning a monumental third bronze medal but finished fourth in the 25m pistol final. No Indian athlete has won more than two individual medals at the Olympics.

“I think we all work hard to win medals. But if that happens (winning more than 2 individual medals at the Olympics) then that would be great. The aim is to work hard and better this performance in the future,” Bhaker told PTI Videos.

“(I am) aiming to win many more Olympic medals for India,” added Bhaker, who returned to the country after participating in the closing ceremony.

The 22-year-old recently got the honour of being India's flagbearer alongside veteran hockey goalkeeper PR Sreejesh at the closing ceremony of the Paris Olympics 2024 on Sunday.

“Being the flag bearer was the opportunity of a lifetime, I am grateful that I got this opportunity and will cherish this for a lifetime,” she said.

“I have a very friendly bond with Sreejesh bhaiya. I have known him since I was a young kid. He is always very friendly, helpful and kind. He made it a lot easier for me in the closing ceremony.”

Manu had returned to India last week but had flown back to Paris for the closing ceremony.

She was accompanied at the Indira Gandhi International Airport by her coach Jaspal Rana and her mother Sumedha.

“I am happy for her. I am happy for the players. When I went to Paris, I met the Hockey team, Aman Sehrawat, and Neeraj Chopra. I just hope all these athletes keep winning medals and all the mothers of this nation will be happy,” said Bhaker’s mother.
