Paris Olympic double medallist Manu Bhaker may skip October’s World Cup in New Delhi as the ace pistol shooter has decided to take a three-month break, her coach Jaspal Rana said.
The 22-year-old Bhaker scripted Olympic history for India in Paris as she won a bronze each in the women’s 10m air pistol and 10m air pistol mixed team event, in which she had paired with Sarabjot Singh.

After the feat, the ace pistol shooter, who returned from Paris in the wee hours on Tuesday (August 6, 2024), is set to take a three-month break from the sport.
"I am not sure whether she will be at the Shooting World Cup in October because she is taking a three-month break. It's a normal break, she has been training for a long time." Rana told PTI Videos.
