Earlier on Friday, Bhaker put on a strong performance, accumulating 590 points to finish second behind Hungary's Veronika Major in the qualifying. She was unbeatable in the sports pistol qualification rounds, firing 294 in the difficult accuracy round with scores of 97, 98, and 99.
The quick round brought out the best in her, as she shot a perfect 100, followed by two 98s for an overall score of 296.
Bhaker's outstanding accomplishment today follows a failed effort at the Tokyo Games in 2021, when a gun failure prevented her from realizing her Olympic dream.

For the first time at the 2024 Olympic, Manu Bhaker doesn't medal. She loses by the barest of margins in a shoot off and takes 4th place in the women's 25m pistol competition at Chateauroux. But what an incredible Olympics for the 22 year old. pic.twitter.com/zd3BorY2sA
