Shooting Range at Jiwaji Club in Gwalior Named After Double Olympic Medallist Manu Bhaker – News18

Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Monday inaugurated a shooting range named after Manu Bhaker, who won two bronze medals in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

At the function to inaugurate the shooting range in Jiwaji Club, he also made a video call to Bhaker to inform her.

“A shooting range for 10 meter air pistol and rifle has been inaugurated at Jiwaji Club in Gwalior,” Scindia told Bhaker in the video call.

The Union minister also fired a few shots at the new range.

Bhaker scripted history at the recently concluded Paris Olympics 2024 as she became the first Indian woman to clinch two medals at a single edition of the Summer Gamer with her individual 10m women’s air pistol bronze and the 10m Mixed air pistol bronze she bagged alongside compatriot Sarabjot Singh.
