Earlier, during the Paris Olympics, Manu Bhaker scripted history by becoming the first Indian athlete to win two medals in a single edition of the Games.

She won her first bronze medal in the 10m pistol event at the Games. Bhaker along with Sarabjot Singh earned India its second bronze medal in the 25m air pistol mixed event.

Currently, Manu Bhaker has opted for a break of three months. Her coach Jaspal Rana said, "I am not sure whether she will be at the Shooting World Cup in October because she is taking a three-month break. It's a normal break, she has been training for a long time."

The shooting World Cup is scheduled to take place in New Delhi from October 13 to 18.

Following her achievements at the Paris Olympics 2024, Manu Bhaker was also named as India's flag bearer at the Games along with former Indian hockey team's goalkeeper PR Sreejesh.

Bhaker also met Team India's swashbuckling T20I batsman Suryakumar Yadav. She shared a post in which, Bhaker took the role of a batter and Suryakumar acted as a pistol shooter.

The Indian contingent ended their Paris Olympics 2024 campaign with a medal tally of one silver and five bronze.
