Paris Olympics 2024, Day 4 Live Updates: Shooter Manu Bhakar along with partner Sarabhyot Singh will be aiming to win India’s second medal at the Paris Olympics when they take on a South Korean pair in the bronze medal match of the 10m air pistol mixed team event at Chateauroux on Tuesday.
Pistol aces Manu and Sarabjot placed third in Monday’s qualifying rounds and have qualified for the final, where they will face Lee Won-ho and Oh Ye-jin at 1 pm Indian Standard Time on Tuesday.
Manu is hoping to become the first Indian athlete to win two medals at the same Olympic Games, more than 100 years after India began participating in the quadrennial extravaganza. On Sunday, Manu won a bronze medal in the 10m air pistol event, becoming India’s first woman shooter to win a medal at the Olympics.
Trap shooter Prithviraj Tondaiman is set to compete on the second day of the men’s trap qualifying round, which begins at 12:30pm on Tuesday.
