New Delhi: After winning two medals at the same Olympics, Indian pistol shooter Manu Bhaker said that she aims to win more Olympic medals in the future. Manu Bhaker is the first Indian athlete to win multiple medals at the same Olympics. Manu returned home after the Olympics closing ceremony. "Every athlete works hard to win an Olympic medal, but if two medals are won in the same event, it makes a difference. I achieved this. Now, with the same hard work in the future, we have set a target to win a medal in every Olympic event we participate in, "Manu said.
"I am honoured to be the flag bearer of the Indian contingent at the closing ceremony. This time, I was more than happy to get this opportunity with Sreejesh. I have known Sreejesh since childhood. I love their game. He is very calm and friendly, "he said. Manu returned home last week after the Olympics. However, after receiving the honour of the flag bearer for the closing ceremony, Manu had left for Paris again with her family. "We are happy for her. When I went to Paris, I met hockey players, Aman Sehrawat, Neeraj Chopra. I hope all these players keep winning medals like this and then it will be a matter of pride for all the mothers of this country, "said Sumedha, Manu Bhaker's mother.
Manu Bhaker's coach Jaspal Rana has hinted that she might miss the World Cup in New Delhi in October this year. "Manu has decided to take a three-month break after returning home after her historic feat of winning two medals in the same event in Paris. This is essential for the player. There's nothing different. She has been training for a long time. It is natural for the players to get tired in such a busy program like training first, then practice, then competition. She decided to take a three-month break. So I am not sure if she will be able to play the World Cup in New Delhi, "Rana said. The tournament will be held in New Delhi from October 13 to 18.
