Manu Bhaker opened India's account at the Paris Olympics 2024 with a bronze medal in the women's individual 10m air pistol event on Sunday, July 28. She became the first-ever Indian woman and fifth overall to clinch an Olympic medal in shooting.
"I put in a lot of effort; I was fighting with all the energy I had, even at the end," Manu Bhaker said after winning the bronze. "This is a bronze but I'm happy I could win a bronze for the country. I read a lot of Gita. As Lord Krishna says, Focus on karma, not on the outcome of the karma."
"That's what I did... I thought, 'Do your thing and let it all be. After Tokyo I was very disappointed however, I came back stronger. Let the past remain in the past."
