Star shooter Manu Bhaker, who created history by winning two bronze medals at the Paris Games, is set to be India’s flag bearer at the Olympic closing ceremony which is going to be held on Sunday 11 August.
Manu Bhaker enjoyed an extremely successful Paris Olympics campaign as she won two Bronze medals for India in Women’s 10m Air Pistol and Mixed 10m Air Pistol. In doing so, Manu Bhaker became the first Indian athlete to win two medals in a single Olympics for Independent India.
