CLIMBING UNCHARTED TERRITORY
The New Indian Express
|August 03, 2024
While Manu has already written her name in the history books, a medal on Saturday would take her to a peak no Indian has ever been to
- 1st Manu is the first Indian to reach three finals at the same edition of the Games
- 3 If she wins medal on Saturday, she will be the first Indian to win three Olympic medals (in individual and mixed)
SHE is already a legend. Even if she fails to add to the two Olympic medals she won over the past few days, Manu Bhaker's legacy will be intact. Yet, she is not content. She loves the 25m pistol, the event in which she secured the Olympic quota, and knows well that she is chasing an unprecedented achievement in Indian sport first Indian, postindependence or otherwise, to win three medals in a single edition of the Games.
In sporting parlance, she is 'in the zone' that state of peak performance every athlete aspires to reach. Its a space where the world blurs into nothingness, and her focus sharpens and that tiny target swells into a ball.
