New Delhi: Star shooter Manu Bhaker has been chosen as India’s flag-bearer at the Paris Olympics 2024. The 22-year-old created history by clinching two Olympic medals in a single edition of the Games in Paris. Manu opened India’s medal tally by winning a bronze medal in the women’s 10m air pistol event. She went on to win another bronze in the 10m air pistol mixed team event alongside Sarabjot Singh. She was on the cusp of creating history by becoming the only Indian to have won three Olympic medals but missed out by a whisker in the women’s 25m pistol event.
“Yes, Manu has been chosen to be the flag bearer. She has done exceptionally well and deserves the honour,” an IOA official told PTI.
“There are many in the contingent who are more deserving but it will be a real honour, if I am asked to,” Manu had told PTI.
