The city of Chateauroux was abuzz with excitement as the Paris Olympics kicked off with a bang. All eyes were on India's star shooter, Manu Bhaker, who was considered a top contender for the coveted medal. And she did not disappoint.
Bhaker's performance in the qualification round was nothing short of impressive. With a total score of 580-27x, she secured a place in the final of the women's 10m Air Pistol event. Her consistency and precision were evident in each of the six rounds, where she scored 97, 97, 98, 96, 96, and 96 respectively.
However, Bhaker was not the only one to shine in the qualification round. Hungary's Veronika Major and Republic of Korea's Oh YeJin also put up a strong performance, finishing ahead of Bhaker in first and second place respectively.
Unfortunately, India's second athlete in the category, Rhythm Sangwan, had a disappointing outing and failed to qualify for the final. She finished in 15th place with a score of 573-14x.
Bhaker's achievement was even more significant as she became the first Indian shooter to make it to the finals of the event. This was a proud moment for India, especially since their other shooters in the 10m Air Rifle Mixed Teams, Sandeep Singh/Elavenil Valarivan and Arjun Babuta/Ramita Jindal, as well as the men's shooters Sarabjot Singh and Arjun Singh Cheema, failed to qualify and were eliminated in the qualification round.
The final of the Women's 10M Air Pistol event was set to take place on Sunday, and everyone was eagerly anticipating Bhaker's performance. With her skills and determination, she had a strong chance of bringing home the gold for her country. The entire nation was rooting for her, and the excitement was palpable.
It was a proud moment for India to see their young athlete shine on the world stage. Bhaker's journey to the finals was a testament to her hard work and dedication, and she had already made her country proud. All that was left was for her to give her best and hopefully bring home the gold. The nation waited with bated breath for the final showdown.
