Rewind 2024: India’s eventful Paris Olympics 2024 campaign left a bitter taste in the mouth

Firstpost  

India’s Paris Olympics 2024 campaign turned out to be a bittersweet one with ups and downs alike. Be it the highs of Manu Bhaker’s double bronze or the lows of Vinesh Phogat’s heartbreak, the Paris Olympics had it all for India. However, the lack of a gold medal and a wrestling controversy involving Phogat wasn’t the only reason why India endured a bittersweet outing in Paris. By winning bronze medal in women’s 10m air pistol event, Manu ended a 12-year wait as she became the first Indian shooter since 2012 to win a medal at the Olympics.
