India’s Manu Bhaker made it to her third final at the Paris Olympics 2024 as she qualified for the medal round of the women’s 25 m pistol event on August 2, Friday. Manu finished 2nd in the rankings as she scored a total of 590 points in the precision and rapid rounds to finish 2 points behind Veronika Major of Hungary.
Manu had a shaky start in the first series of her precision round as she could only get 2 10s out of the first 5 shots. However, she bounced back and got 5 10s on the trot to end the series strongly.
She would go from strength to strength in the second series as she started with 3 10s and added another 5 more to end with 98 points from it. This was once again improved in the third series as she almost had a perfect run as she hit 9 10s before the final one ended up being a 9.
