India at Olympics, Day 8: Manu Bhaker to aim for historic third medal, boxer Nishant Dev's fight, archery action and more

India at Olympics, Day 8: 1.4 billion Indians await historic day as young Manu Bhaker will be aiming to win her third medal at the Paris Olympics on Saturday, 3 August. After winning bronze in the 10m air pistol women's final and in the 10m air pistol mixed team with Sarabjot Singh, Bhaker will have the chance to cement her legacy in the sport.

If Manu Bhakur is able to win, the 22-year-old shooter can become the first Indian athlete to win three Olympic medals in an individual sport. Plus, she could become only the first from her nation to win three Olympic medals in a single edition of the games.

All eyes will be on Manu Bhaker when she will be in action from 1 PM IST onwards in Chatearoux, whereas the nation will also pin their hopes on Bhajan Kaur and Deepika Kumari to clinch a medal in archery after a close heartbreak on Friday.
