As a result of this, Bhaker has qualified for the final of the women’s 25m pistol to be held tomorrow (3rd August) at Chateauroux-1:00 PM IST. However, only eight shooters managed to reach such level.
In precision stage, she got 294 while in rapid it was .296. At the Paris Olympic Games Manu Bhaker has won two bronze medals already.
