Historic Triumph: Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh Clinch Bronze at Olympics

Manu Bhaker and Sarabjot Singh secured the 10m air pistol mixed team bronze by defeating South Korea at the Olympics. This victory marks India’s second medal at the event and makes Bhaker the first Indian to win two medals in a single Olympic edition since independence.

Manu Bhaker exhibited remarkable composure while Sarabjot Singh provided the perfect support, leading the pair to win the 10m air pistol mixed team bronze by defeating South Korea at the Olympics on Tuesday.

In a historic performance, the Indian pair triumphed over the Koreans with a score of 16-10, earning India its second medal at the prestigious event. Bhaker's achievement is particularly noteworthy as she becomes the first Indian post-independence to secure two medals in a single edition of the Olympic Games.

Earlier, Bhaker had claimed the bronze in the women's 10m air pistol event. It's a significant milestone since British-Indian athlete Norman Pritchard bagged two silver medals in the 200m sprint and 200m hurdles during the 1900 Olympics, a feat accomplished in the pre-independence era.
