Manu Bhaker (Shooting)
Breaking two long-standing national records in less than a month is impressive for someone who has only been shooting for a little over two years. However, when Manu Bhaker, 20, is asked about it, she laughs it off. “It just so happens” (records are broken). I’m not thinking about them. “People tell me later that I broke a record,” Manu said after winning gold in the 10m air pistol event. She not only won gold but also broke two junior national records in less than an hour.
Prior to the shooting, she was a national-level competitor in a variety of sports, which is a little-known fact. Manu in 2018 qualified for all ISSF World Cups at the senior and junior levels, as well as the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and the 2018 Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires.
