Shooter Manu Bhaker, who created a new history by winning two bronze medals in the Paris Olympics, will not play in the upcoming World Cup shooting competition. The main reason for this is that Manu Bhakar is taking a break of three months. India has won a total of 6 medals in the Paris Olympics.
Among them, star shooter Manu Bhakar alone has won 2 medals. Manu Bhaker opened India’s account at the Olympics by winning a bronze medal in the women’s 10m air pistol event. She then won the bronze medal in the mixed event in the 10m air pistol event along with Sarabjot Singh. Manu Bhakar is the first athlete from independent India to win two medals in a single edition of the Olympics. But now there are reports that Manu Bhakar will not appear in the World Cup.
The 22-year-old, who won 2 bronze medals in the Paris Olympics, will take a break of 3 months. In such a situation, she may stay out of the Shooting World Cup to be held in Delhi. Manu’s coach Jaspal Rana told PTI that Manu Bhakar will not participate in the World Cup in October.
