The shooter expressed her desire to stand on stage and listen to the national anthem whenever she represents India.“An attempt at the melody closest to my heart this day of independence. Every time I represent India, I want to stand on stage and listen. We generally sit and play the violin, but this time we subconsciously got up while playing the national anthem. Bhaker wrote in his post on Instagram.At the Olympic Games in Paris last year, Bhaker created history by becoming the first Indian female shooter to win the Olympic medal and secured bronze in the individual event of the 10m air pistol.She watched this success with another bronze medal in the Mixed Team Air Air Air Pistol Pistol Pistol together with Sarabjot Singh, which marked the first Indian shooting medal at the Olympics.Bhaker missed the third Olympic medal and finished fourth in the women’s shooting event pistol, which could make it the first Indian, who won three medals at a single Olympics.Her success in Paris came after the unsatisfactory campaign at the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021, where the technical problems with her weapons during the 10m air gun qualified cost her precious time. Ended up in the 12th place and lacked the best eight qualifications for the finals.
