Joydeep Karmakar, the Olympian in the 2012 London Olympics who missed the medal by a whisker and now is one of the expert commentators of the broadcaster of the ongoing Paris Olympics believes that Manu Bhaker can make the breakthrough, winning another medal for the country in the 25 meter pistol event on Saturday. Manu, if wins a medal on Saturday will set a rare feat of hat-trick in shooting. 

Joydeep who also was a national coach after the Tokyo Olympics, in 2020 explained, "Manu has changed her approach and attitude towards the game. She was a little restless and whimsical. But now she has been calm and cool, developed concentration. This game needs more mental composure than the technical soundness."

Manu Bhaker will go for a hat-trick in the women's 25m pistol event in which she is amongst the medal favorites. 

"I hope the love stays. I will definitely try my best. I hope people are not disappointed or angry," Manu Bhaker said, as quoted by PTI news agency while talking about her chances in the women's 25m pistol event. Manu won the 25m pistol bronze in Bhopal last year and has a gold in the team event from Baku last year.

"The feeling is surreal because I had not hoped I would win two medals in a single Olympics. There is one more match to go (in 25m sports pistol). So, I am looking forward to the next one, but I am grateful that I got another medal for India," Manu added.
