India’s shooting sensation Manu Bhaker continues striving for more success after her Paris Olympics 2024 exploits.

But for her, this is only the beginning.“I was 14 when I started my journey in shooting. Never had I imagined I would reach this far. Once you start something, make sure you do everything possible to chase your dreams relentlessly, no matter how tough it gets,” Manu Bhaker wrote in a social media post.Her words hold weight, especially considering her experiences at the Tokyo Olympics. There was a lot of hope riding on her performance, but a pistol malfunction during the event left Manu Bhaker in tears and dashed India's expectations. It took time for her to recover from the heartbreak, but she made a comeback at the Paris 2024 Olympics, winning two bronze medals.Manu Bhaker’s story is far from over, though.
