New Delhi: Double Olympic-medallist Manu Bhaker has “mixed feelings” about the 25m pistol bronze medal she won in the just-concluded World Cup in Hangzhou, acknowledging that she could have done better in the event. Bhaker is still in pursuit of her first individual gold of 2026, with a 10m air pistol mixed team silver with Samrat Rana at the Munich World Cup being her other notable performance. Bhaker is now gearing up for the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, where she has been picked to compete in two events — 10m air pistol and 25m pistol. She endured a difficult build-up to the Hangzhou World Cup as her mentor and long-serving national coach, Jaspal Rana, died of heart-related complications at a relatively young age of 49 in June. At the previous Asian Games in Hangzhou, Bhaker had anchored the Indian women’s team’s gold-winning performance in the 25m pistol event.
