Shooting, Olympics 2024: Manu Bhaker gets ‘monkey off her back’ to create history in Paris
The first Olympic medal won by an Indian woman in shooting. The first shooting medal won by an Indian at the Olympics since London 2012. The first medal won by an Indian at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Manu Bhaker’s redemption arc is complete, writes Shahid Judge.
Tennis, men’s singles: Sumit Nagal’s Paris Olympics ends with a first-round loss to local favourite Corentin Moutet. In a close third set, neither player dropped their serve at the start. However, Mouotet found a way to break Nagal’s serve in the penultimate game and closed out a hard-fought 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 win. Nagal fought bravely against the home favourite who had the vocal backing of the crowd. But a momentary lapse in concentration spelt the end of his tournament.
Archery, women’s team: This is some poor shooting from Bhakat. She starts the third set with a very wide 4. Has a chat with coach Poornima Mahanto. India end with 48 points leaving the Dutch with 19 points to win off three arrows. And they do it nonchalantly! The Dutch beat India 6-0 and storm into the semi-finals! A very poor outing for India and especially Bhakat...
