India has won its second medal at the Paris Olympics 2024! [Manu Bhaker](https://www.timesfire.com/sports/olympics/manu-bhaker-makes-history-at-paris-olympics-2024/)
and [Sarabjot Singh](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarabjot_Singh) earned a bronze
in the 10m air pistol mixed team event. This achievement adds to Manu’s remarkable
success, as she had already made history by becoming the first Indian woman shooter
to win an Olympic medal earlier in the games.

The competition was intense, with the format requiring the first team to reach 16
points to win. Manu and Sarabjot faced strong competition from South Korea but managed
to secure the bronze medal with a final score of 16-10.

## **How They Won**

The match was played in a series of rounds where each team scored points. South 
Korea took an early lead, but Manu and Sarabjot fought back strongly. They managed
to tie the score and then pulled ahead with consistent performances in the subsequent
rounds.

Despite a few close moments and some strong shots from the Korean team, Manu and
Sarabjot kept their composure. They secured the final series with a score of 19.6
to South Korea’s 18.5, clinching the bronze medal for India.

This victory marks India’s first-ever Olympic medal in a shooting team event and
makes Manu Bhaker the first athlete from independent India to win multiple medals
in a single Olympics. Manu still has a chance to add to her medal count in the 25m
air rifle event, aiming for a historic third medal.

Congratulations to Manu and Sarabjot for their exceptional performance and for bringing
pride to India at the Paris Olympics!
