Star shooter Manu Bhaker and the Indian women’s archery team have already been in action at the 2024 Paris Olympics, which got underway with main sporting action on Saturday (July 27).

Stakes, however, will be higher as they return for the Final and knockout stages, respectively, on Sunday in a bid to open India’s account at the sporting extravaganza.

Paris 2024 Olympics India Day 2 Medal Prediction

Deepika Kumari is playing in her fourth Olympics.

Manu Bhaker was sensational in the Women’s 10 m Air Pistol, finishing at No. 3 behind Veronika Major and Oh Ye Jin. Major, a recent World Championships silver medallist, Jin and her compatriot Kim Ye-ji as well as a couple of top Chinese shooters crowd the field.

Things will not come easy, but Bhaker has gained a lot of experience since being at this stage the last time around. Her composed finish to the qualification rounds inspires hope of her finding a spot on the podium at Paris 2024 Olympics.

Similarly, the prospect of the archers also looks great. The team has a collective ranking of No. 4, which means they will start the campaign in the quarterfinals directly.

A win over either France or the Netherlands will put them one more away from a medal. While they are likely to run into Korea in the semifinals, the chances of landing a medal — whatever the colour may be — are higher than ever.
