PM Modi congratulated Manu Bhaker-Sarabjot Singh on winning bronze medal

The Prime Minister wrote, “Our shooters are making us proud and congratulations to Sarabjot Singh for winning the Bronze Medal in the 10m Air Pistol Mixed Team event at the Olympics. Both have displayed great skill and teamwork. India is overjoyed. Manu, this is her second consecutive Olympic medal, which reflects her consistent excellence and dedication.”

Sarabjot won her first medal at Paris Olympics

By winning the bronze medal in the women's 10m air pistol, Manu Bhaker became the first Indian to win two medals in the same Olympics after independence. British-Indian athlete Norman Pritchard won two silver medals in the 200m sprint and 200m hurdles at the 1900 Olympics, but this achievement was achieved in the pre-independence era. Apart from this, Sarabjot won her first medal at the Paris Olympics.
