Born on February 18, 2002, in Jhajjar, Haryana, India, Manu Bhaker initially pursued various sports, including tennis, skating, boxing, and ‘thang ta’ martial arts, securing national medals in these disciplines. At the age of 14, following the Rio 2016 Olympics, she transitioned to sport shooting, quickly showing exceptional talent. Her father supported her emerging passion by purchasing a sports shooting pistol within a week. Her early career highlights include winning nine gold medals at the 2017 national shooting championships, where she set a new record of 242.3 points in the 10m air pistol, surpassing former world No. 1 Heena Sidhu. This rapid ascent marked her as a promising figure in Indian shooting.
Bhaker’s international debut at the 2018 ISSF World Cup in Guadalajara, Mexico, saw her break the junior world record in qualifications and win a gold medal in the women’s 10m air pistol event, making her the youngest Indian to achieve this feat at just 16. She secured another gold in the 10m air pistol mixed team event at the same competition, partnering with Om Prakash Mitherval. Her achievements extended to the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, Australia, where she won gold in the women’s 10m air pistol and established a new CWG record. She continued her success at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, winning gold in the 10m air pistol, becoming the first Indian shooter and female athlete from the country to win a gold at the Youth Olympics.
Her career progressed with significant milestones, including winning gold medals in mixed team events with Saurabh Chaudhary at all three ISSF World Cups in 2019, and securing an Olympic quota for Tokyo 2020. At the Paris 2024 Olympics, Bhaker made history by becoming the first Indian woman to win an Olympic medal in shooting, securing a bronze in the women’s 10m air pistol. Days later, she became the first Indian athlete post-independence to win two medals at a single Olympic Games by taking another bronze in the 10m air pistol mixed team event with Sarabjot Singh. She was awarded the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna, India’s highest sporting honor, in 2025.
