Manu Bhaker was aiming to become the first Indian to win three individual Olympic medals but that dream shattered with her final shot. However, Manu Bhaker still returns home from Paris as the only athlete to win two medals for Independent India in a single Olympics campaign. 

But Manu Bhaker is far from done and content with her success as she has made it clear that she will give everything to come back stronger than ever in her social media post. 

“For me every game is equally important, I have tried my best in Paris during each game I have played. Will definitely try to do better in Los Angles 2028,” wrote Manu Bhaker in her post on X.
