Paris, Aug 3 (UNI) Indian shooter Manu Bhaker's incredible journey at the Paris Olympics has come to an end, but her story will inspire generations to come.

Finishing fourth in the women's 25m pistol final, Manu fell short of winning her third Olympic medal, but her determination and skill have left a lasting impression on the world.

With a rich history of achievements, including two Olympic bronze medals and a Youth Olympics championship, Manu has consistently pushed the boundaries of excellence. And it was no different in the Paris Olympics, where she showed her class from the start, finishing second after the first stage of the competition.

Consistency was key to Manu's performance, as she remained in the medal positions until the end of the seventh series. Although she struggled in the eighth series, converting only two shots out of five, she bounced back with a strong fight.

In a thrilling conclusion, Manu was forced to compete in a shoot-off against three other competitors for the top three spots. Although she didn't quite make it to the podium this time around, she can take pride in knowing that she has shown her mettle and will undoubtedly come back stronger in future competitions.

The gold medal was won by Republic of Korea's Yang Jiin, who scored an impressive 37, just one shot short of equalling the Olympic record. French shooter Camille Jedrzejewski took home the silver medal after a tense shoot-off post the 10th series, while Hungarian shooter Veronika Major won the bronze medal with a score of 30.

Manu's performance has sent a powerful message to young athletes across India: that with hard work and determination, anything is possible. Her achievement is a shining example of what can be achieved through dedication and perseverance, and we can't wait to see what she will accomplish next.

As Manu Bhaker returns home, we can't help but feel proud of her incredible journey.
