Manu Bhaker suffered the heartbreak of missing out on a berth in the 10m air pistol final at the Tokyo Olympics on Sunday, an equipment snag surfacing on the big stage. The very next day, however, Manu picked herself up to book a ticket to the Olympics in 10m air pistol, although she missed out on a medal by a mere 0.1 point. She said, "From what I heard (from Ronak), Manu somehow broke the cocking lever of her pistol. She will feature in two more events — 10m air pistol mixed team on Tuesday and 25m women's pistol on Thursday. Incidentally, Manu had addressed a question on setback and pressure in an interview with Sportstar shortly after securing the Olympic quota in Munich.
