Manu Bhaker scripts history

On Day 4 in Paris, shooter Manu Bhaker clinched her second Olympic bronze in a one-sided affair to double India's Summer Games 2024 tally. Partnering with Sarabjot Singh in the 10m air pistol mixed team event, the pair cruised past South Korea in the bronze medal match. On Monday, Bhaker clinched her first and also India's first Paris 2024 medal, coming third in the individual women's 10m air pistol final.

Meanwhile, rower Balraj Panwar finished fifth in his men's singles sculls quarter-final and got knocked out. The day's early hours were dominated by shooting events. Shreyasi Singh and Rajeshwari Kumari competed in the women's trap qualification. Prithviraj Tondaiman shot a perfect 25 in the last two rounds. However, he finished 21st in the qualification round of the men’s trap shooting event in Paris.

Heartbreak for Dhiraj Bommadevara

Archery, which has been a source of disappointment in the team events, offered a fresh start in the individual category.

Earlier, Ankita Bhakat also made an early exit by losing to Wioleta Myszor of Poland.
