In 2024, the Year of the Dragon, Manu Bhaker almost slew one. | Photo Credit: RITU RAJ KONWAR In the bronze medal match of the 10m air pistol mixed team event, Manu went up against a very familiar face — that of Oh! Arjun Babuta narrowly missed out on a medal, finishing fourth in the men’s air rifle final at the Paris Olympics, after remaining in contention for a podium spot throughout the competition. | Photo Credit: RITU RAJ KONWAR Arjun Babuta also missed out on a podium finish after shooting a rare 9.5 in his final attempt on target. The Olympic success was reflected in India’s Paralympic campaign as well, where Avani Lekhara became the first Indian woman to win two gold medals at the Games, defending her title in the women’s 10m air rifle standing SH1 shooting event with a world record score. After Manish Narwal added a silver medal to the tally in men’s 10m air pistol SH1, Rubina Francis capped off the show with a bronze medal in women’s air pistol SH1.
