Sarabjot Singh and Manu Bhaker Win Historic Bronze in Shooting at Paris Olympics 2024

Sarabjot Singh's remarkable journey culminated in a historic bronze medal at the Paris Olympics 2024, alongside Manu Bhaker in the 10m air pistol mixed team event. This triumph marked a significant milestone for India, as Manu became the first athlete to win multiple medals at a single Olympics since independence, while Sarabjot became the first Indian shooter to secure a medal since 2012.

Hailing from a humble background in Ambala, Sarabjot's passion for shooting ignited during a summer camp. Despite his father's initial hesitation, Sarabjot's determination and talent led him to pursue the sport under the guidance of coach Abhishek Rana.

In 2019, Sarabjot emerged as a rising star, winning gold at the Junior World Championship. His success continued with team gold and mixed team silver at the 2023 Asian Games, and individual bronze at the 2023 Asian Championships, securing his Olympic quota.

At the Paris Olympics, Sarabjot's redemption story unfolded. After narrowly missing out on the final in the individual event, he teamed up with Manu Bhaker to dominate the mixed team competition. Their combined score of 261.3, with Sarabjot contributing 110.2, proved too strong for South Korea.

Sarabjot's journey to the top is a testament to his unwavering determination and the support of his family and coach. His success not only brings glory to India but also inspires aspiring shooters across the country.
