Manu Bhaker's Olympian redemption: She built a brave new world and refused to quit
Three years ago, Manu Bhaker was made the face of Indian shooting's failure at Tokyo 2020. Only a teenager then, making her Olympic debut, she had a terrible experience in all three events; compounded by a weapons malfunction that saw her break down at the range. It was the kind of burden that crushes the best of athletes. She was almost crushed.
But Olympic medals are won by the brave. It takes bravery to put your body and mind through the grind of elite sport. And it takes a special kind of bravery to win after building back from a mental rock bottom.
