Manu is the first Indian athlete to win two medals in the same Olympics
Manu Bhaker, who won two medals for India in the Paris Olympics, is the first Indian athlete since independence to win two medals in the same Olympics. He won bronze medals in the 10m air pistol and 10m air pistol mixed events. Whereas in women’s 25 meter pistol she secured fourth place. But still the 12-member selection committee headed by retired Supreme Court judge V. Ramasubramaniam had not recommended his name for the Khel Ratna award. Due to which his father is disappointed.
What did Manu Bhaker’s father say?
Manu’s father says, ‘What is the use of winning two medals in the same Olympics if one has to beg for the award? A government official is taking the decision and the committee members are silent and not giving their opinion. I don’t understand what’s happening. We applied for the award. But no response came from the committee. Is this how you motivate athletes? Parents encourage their children to play in the future.
The committee recommended this player
The names of India’s hockey star drag-flicker Harmanpreet Singh and para-athlete Praveen Kumar have been recommended for the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. Under the captaincy of Harmanpreet, the Indian hockey team won the bronze medal for the second consecutive time in the Paris Olympics.
