India at Paris Olympics

India shooter Swapnil Kusale won the bronze medal in the men's 50m rifle 3P event at the ongoing Paris Olympics on Thursday

India's shooting ace Manu Bhaker scripted history on Tuesday when she became the first Indian to win two medals at the same Olympics.

Manu Bhaker emphasised that her only focus was on doing her job rather than thinking about its outcome as she had Lord Krishna’s words in the back of her mind.

Manu Bhaker displayed a stunning performance in the qualification round. In the first two series, Manu ended with 97 points. In the third series, the 22-year-old bagged 98 points. In the final three series, she sealed 96 points to finish in third place with a total of 580-27x.

After a glittering opening ceremony, the Indian contingent will be in action in seven different sports on Saturday, with shooting, hockey, badminton and tennis being standout sports.
