New Delhi : Manu Bhaker of Universal Sr. Secondary School, Jhajjar, Haryana, came up with a stunning performance in the 10M Air Pistol event for girls breaking two junior national records during the course of the day at the first Khelo India School Games. That earned Manu a well-deserved gold at Dr. Karni Singh Shooting Ranges.

In the finals, Manu maintained her fine form right from the start with the first set of five shots. In fact, she started the finals round with a near-perfect score of 10.8. Over a span of 24 shots in the finals, Manu hit the centre of the target 12 times for scores of 10 or above, according to a PIB release.

Manu also led a clean sweep by Haryana girls who dominated the podium by claiming the top three positions. Haryana’s domination was emphasised by the presence of five shooters from the state from amongst the eighth finalists.

In the boys event, UP’s Saurabh Choudhary (UP Board, Allahabad) claimed gold in a nail biting finish that went down to the final shot after he had frittered away a good early lead.
