Manu Bhaker Khel Ratna controversy: Why double Olympic medallist was overlooked – 2 things to know

Live Mint  

Manu Bhaker is making headlines after reports emerged that the Paris Olympics double medallist wasn't included in the nomination list for the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award. Having suffered a heart-breaking pistol malfunction in Tokyo three years ago, Bhaker made a strong comeback to win her first Olympic bronze in the women's 10m air pistol event. According to a TOI report, Bhaker isn't on the list for the country's highest sporting honour, the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award, which includes the likes of Indian men's hockey captain Harmanpreet Singh and Paralympics gold medallist high jumper Praveen Kumar. Two things to know about Manu Bhaker's Khel Ratna row Bhaker's matter is similar to what Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami faced a few years ago for the Arjuna Award, as he didn't apply formally.
