Manu\u2019s father, Ram Kishan Bhaker has revealed that she contemplated whether she should quit shooting as a sport after the unfortunate event that took place with her in Tokyo. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cManu was thinking about changing her sport (after her heartbreak in 2020 Tokyo Olympics). This was her old habit, she previously came and told me that she wants to change her sport from Karate after she won an honour in the nationals,\u201d said Ram Kishan Bhaker to reports at his residence. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Bhaker had previously suffered heartbreak in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics when A technical snag in her pistol due to a lever in the pistol being broken which was preventing the barrel from functioning smoothly, stole six precious minutes, putting her under pressure during the qualification event which led to her exit from the event. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Manu\u2019s mother, Sumedha Bhakerwent on to express and acknowledge the amount of hard work her daughter has put in ever since the Tokyo Games and how she sacrificed her family for her daughter\u2019s success. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI cannot express the amount of hard work Manu put in after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics into words. Us mother and daughter have not been able to keep any family relations since 2018. They are all angry at me that I never get the chance to meet them. I prayed to god to give me strength, to help Manu in being very successful and I knew once she achieves her goal I can go and apologise to everyone,\u201d said Sumedha to reporters. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
Ram Kishan also went on to thank all those involved in his daughter\u2019s success. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe entire country is happy that Manu has opened the medals account for India. I want to thank the country for supporting her. She has received help from all around the country, including the Sports Minister, the federation, coach Jaspal Rana all helped in boosting her confidence,\u201d added Manu\u2019s father. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
