GOLD IN 10M AIR PISTOL EVENT
For someone who took to shooting just a little over two years back, breaking two long-standing national records in a span of less than a month would easily qualify as prodigious talent. But when you talk to 16-year-old Manu Bhaker about it, she laughs off any such suggestion. “It (breaking records) just happens. I don’t think about them. People tell me later that I have broken a record,” said Manu after claiming gold in 10m air pistol event. She didn’t just win the gold, she broke two junior national records inside an hour.
A little known fact about her is that before taking up shooting, she was already competing at the national level in different sports. For Manu, 2018 will be a big year. She has qualified for all the senior and junior ISSF World Cups, Gold Coast Commonwealth Games and the 2018 Buenos Aires Youth Olympics. “I am prepared for that. I have even got extra pages added to my passport,” she said.
