Manu Bhaker Aims for Gold in 10m Air Pistol Final

On Saturday, Manu was the only shooter to progress to the final…reports Asian Lite News

India’s top pistol shooter Manu Bhaker will go for gold in the Women’s 10m Air Pistol Final while two-time medallist P.V Sindhu will open her campaign in the hunt for an unprecedented medal in third successive Games, on the second day of competitions in Paris on Sunday.

While Manu Bhaker will take her first shot in the final scheduled to start at 15.30 IST on Sunday, two-time World Champion Nikhat Zareen will open her campaign in the Women’s 50kg boxing against Maxi Carina Kloetzer of Germany in a first-round bout scheduled at 15:50 IST.

On Saturday, Manu was the only shooter to progress to the final as the two Rifle Mixed Teams and men’s and women’s individual pistol shooters were disappointed and failed to make it to the medal round.

But before Manu Bhaker steps into the shooting range, rifle shooters Elavenil Valarivin and Ramita Jindal along with Sandeep Singh and Arjun Babuta will try to emulate her and reach the finals in the Women’s 10m Air Rifle and the Men’s 10m Air Rifle qualification stage, respectively. The women rifle shooters will start at 12.45 pm while the men will take aim at 14:45 IST.

In the badminton competition at the La Chapelle Arena, PV Sindhu will open her campaign in women’s singles Group M against Fathimath Nabbah Abdul Razzaq of Maldives at 12:50 IST.
