Paris Olympics: It's A Very Proud Moment Personally To Me, Says Manu's Coach Jaspal Rana After Bronze Win
Jaspal Singh Rana: It was a "proud moment" for shooting coach Jaspal Singh Rana when Manu Bhaker claimed a bronze medal in the Women's 10m Air Pistol event in the Paris Olympics on Sunday. Manu made history on Sunday by becoming the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal in shooting and also opened the country's account in the medal tally in Paris. She also ended India's 12-year wait for an Olympic medal in shooting.
With this, the 22-year-old Manu became the fifth Indian shooter to win a medal in the Olympic Games, joining the list of RVS Rathore (2004), Abhinav Bindra (2008), Gagan Narang (2012) and Vijay Kumar (2012), taking India's tally in shooting at the Olympic Games to five medals -- one gold, two silver and two bronze.
"It's a very proud moment personally for me. I am thankful to everyone, who has made things possible especially to Manu, who has gone through a lot after the Tokyo Olympics. (Today) She was calm and composed throughout the match. The qualification round was a big challenge for her and she has practiced many things for mental strength," Jaspal Rana told IANS after the final on Sunday.
